Re: Small things in fic that drive you insane

I can't stand that either. It's particularly bad when the character's parents are dead in canon and they bring them back just so they can be homophobic asshats in the fic. Just argh. There are other ways to cause conflict and get your damn otp together without resorting to homophobic bullshit.

Is this shit still as pervasive as it it once was? Or has it cooled down a bit? Most of my fandoms are old so I see this come up often in older fic from the early 00's. It was pretty popular in anime/manga fandoms particularly.

You bet your ass it's still pervasive. I've read about half a dozen of them so far in the past few months and that's why I ranted about it. From the way they write it, gay rights haven't progressed past the 50s and 99% of straights have a 'gaybash!' switch ready to flip.
