35. Yeah, because fandom is all about you.

41. ...What do "I'd do him/her/them/it"-secrets have anything to do bad!fic? And what, do you expect people to stop saying they find a character hot just so you don't have to "worry over what bad!fic people are writing"? Guess what, fandoms don't revolve around you. If you spend all your time worrying about what people are writing or who they find hot then that's your problem, not theirs.
As for "can't you just like the characters" - UH. That's exactly what they ARE doing. Jeez. And you say "why does the internet always have to be about sex" like it's a bad thing. What's it to you if people find "fake characters" hot? Don't like how the internet is rollin'? Feel free to get out.
And what's so infinitely bad about it being about sex?

44. Agreed - it's just not the same.

Nothing is BAD about it being about sex and I don't think anyone here is saying that it is. It's just that fandom as a whole seems to be very focused on sex, and for people who just aren't into that aspect of it, it can make it very hard to actually get into fandom and even make friends because just about everyone around them is slashing and shipping left right and center and you just don't have anything to relate to.
I've seen the reaction that these secrets get here, and a lot of those reactions make people feel even more alienated. Just as you're saying not everything in fandom revolves around THEM, it doesn't revolve around YOU either. People get into fandoms for different reasons and sometimes, it's very hard to get respect for that if it's not for the sex.
