Secret 8 - Slash fanfiction

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is two Care Bears (a cartoon franchise and line of toys) fancharacters. One of them is pink and has a drawing of two flowers on its chest, and the other is white with a blue and red cape and a drawing of a shield on its chest. The pink one appears to be hitting on the white one, who is horrified. The picture has the credit? "ThisCrispyKat" and the words "And what are your thoughts on yaoi?"]

I don't have a problem with slash at all in principle. In fact, I ship a whole lot of slash ships myself. But when I look for fic, I find that slash, far more than gen or even het, tends to come packaged with a whole load of really annoying and unsavory tropes, from childish, whiny Nice Guy approval to infidelity-condoning, that are absolutely part of the slash, not just due to writers being gross people in general -- I've seen writers whose gen I loved write the nastiest things in their slashfic.

It makes me wonder if maybe, these writers don't know any gay people and don't understand that gay relationships are bound by the same rules as straight ones, and are not magical transcendent life bonds that are above the petty morality that constrains het love?
