I think you're totally correct on that and that's probably why it's rarer than boyslash.

There does seem to be that tendency, though way more with boys than girls, but in the Korra case, I think the show-runners really did lay the groundwork very well for a slow, developing friendship-into-love. I mean, I didn't know they would go there but the interpretation was entirely justified by the actual plot.

I literally would have argued up until 3 seconds ago that the incest fic is probably enabled by the knowledge that the actors aren't really related/characters are fictional so there is no real incest possible but then the commenter above mention the Vlogbrothers real-people incest fanfiction and now I have to go for a…

Anything with real people is creepy. I have friends who write RPF and I just do not understand it except that for some people fandom = fanfiction and if your fandom is sports or music, well then!

Yeah, I don't think there's any way to argue that isn't just straight-up objectification.

OMG #4 So much OMG. While this was not specifically about slash, it was still from the same mindset.

I am not surprised. I wish it were the exception, but at least online, it seems to be a very very common thread in this sort of slash fandom. Sherlock fandom is especially toxic for some reason but every fandom I've ever followed online generally has just awful awful misogynistic strains.

I have long had reservations about this, too, and for the same reasons as Kiri states.

Maybe if they'd used a guillotine it would've been done right. ALAS!

I like how she managed to work in fat-shaming there in her list of ways her generation went wrong trying to be SO SO NICE OMG WE WERE JUST TRYING TO BE NICE.

GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

If only this could happen to ALLLL the trolls. *evil laughter*

I can imagine! It was bad enough seeing it with a friend, but with my mom? A movie about divorce where the mom leaves? Oh, the 70s!

that's about how old I was too!

First time I ever saw a naked person in a movie (I'm an old but was fairly young when I saw it with a friend). I was traumatized because I was raised VERY conservative.

I for-real thought that was a parody account.

I am making the BIGGEST "W" sign with my fingers at the cast of The Cosby Show right now.

I think all the Huxtable kids call him Mr. Cosby. I'm pretty sure Malcolm Jamal-Warner always does in interviews, too.

My whole life, this woman has done one "edgy" thing after another. She seems to me to want so desperately to be important and not just famous but I think she lacks an essential selflessness* to achieve the kind of importance she wants.

Only if he's a big ol' gorgeous Scot with impeccable manners.
