anti-slash bingo cards?
Does anyone know of the existence of an "anti-slash bingo card"? Something similar to the This is Gay bingo card or the No Racism in Fiction F/SF Edition bingo card or the Anti-Fanfic bingo card? (And here, have an entire Flickr group of these cards, which has an Anti-Gay bingo card but it's not quite specific enough for what I want.)

There's got to be an anti-slash bingo card out there, but if not...would anyone like to help me make one? :D?

EDIT: Okay, so here's what I got so far. Still open to rewordings and suggestions. There's some that I'm waffling over because I think there is a valid grain of truth in them, but as I said to [info]lady_ganesh, it might only end up being a problem if those particular arguments along with others were hit up on the card.

Anyway.

-"They never said he was gay; ergo, he must be straight!"
-"He had a girlfriend once/said he liked girls! Ergo, he's straight."
-"Slash is sexist because it's all about men."
-"Slash is icky and/or OOC."
-"Slash is icky and/or OOC (and yet I ship the members of the pairing with underage characters/mortal enemies/their moms)."
-"Slash is icky and/or OOC (and yet I have a multi-chapter "epic" fanfic in the works in which the canon characters are wildly OOC, and may even feature a Mary Sue or Gary Stu)."
-"I just prefer canon relationships."
-"The canon gay ships are boring."
-"The writer supported my ship in an interview/commentary."
-"I don't care what the writer said - all that counts is what's in the canon."
-"He can't be gay - he's too masculine!"
-"Why do you have to ruin their friendship with sex?"
-"Sex is a way for couples to get to know each other! They're so close already that it would be pointless for them to sleep together!"
-"I'm straight, so I only like het porn."
-"But she's obviously way too important to him/the story!"
-"You're exploiting real gay men!"
-"Exploitative, unrealistic porn is only okay when it's my kink."
-"All slash is porn."
-"Real gay people don't talk/act/fuck like that."
-"Why won't you give het a chance?"
-"All slash fans are mindless rabid yaoi fangirls."
-"The fangirls ruined the genre for me."
-"You're just writing them together because they're hot!"
-"You're clearly heterophobic."
-"You just don't understand how friendship works."
-"But he doesn't ACT gay!"
-"You've ruined the source material/insulted the creator by turning their characters gay!"
-"Works aimed at guys/kids/action fans couldn't possibly have any gay subtext!"
-"Sturgeon's Law? What's that?"
-"You just hate your own gender."
-"You just hate the girls because they're in the way of your ship!"

DAUGHTER OF EDIT: OMG, you guys are amazing. With all the suggestions I've gotten I could potentially fill up two bingo cards, even considering that I might be merging some suggestions into others. So much fail. D: But so much win on your parts! :D I'll definitely share the card once it's made. I've updated the list above with edited/merged/added items, but it's still in the works!
