- I don’t understand the aversion to het pairings.
- I understand having a preference for dude!slash and dicks
- But why is it okay to say things like “EWW WHAT EVEN IS STRAIGHT SEX GET IT AWAY” or “YOU DON’T EVEN GO HERE, VAGINAS LOLOL”
- It seems like some slashers hold the belief that male/male pairings are inherently superior to het or (gasp! You mean they go here?!) female/female pairings when really, it all boils down to preference.
- Hey, perhaps some people don’t even take gender into account and ship characters based on aesthetic or compatibility.
- I know that most of it is a reaction to the blatant homophobia you see in some fan communities and the heteronormative nature of mainstream television
- But fighting hate by deflecting hate onto another group (e.g. het pairings in general or worse, just to the women of fandom), even jokingly, seems counterproductive to me when what we should be doing is broadening our standards of “”“normality”“”
- JUST SHIP AND LET SHIP.

I tend to ship het pairings, and it makes me anxious because I know I’ll get attcked. So I never tell anyone anything...

Yeah see personally I don’t really get slash… I mean, I have the occasional m/m ship, and I enjoy a good PG-13 gay...

i mean, most of my knowledge of shipping just comes from reading fandomsecrets and not any deep involvement with fandom...
