You don't like slash? Especially not in your historical fandom, and especially not between two of the main characters, because one is the manly man of your dreams? (Despite the fact that he's really something of a narcissistic coward who's in rather poor health and has a giant, fragile ego that can be shattered by a few words-- not saying he isn't adorable, of course, I love the poor guy, but he's not made out of badass manliness.)

Well, that's fine! You don't have to like it. In fact, I can totally get why you might not-- homosexuality is very, very bad for your favorite character's health, and I doubt bisexuality would be greeted much better, and there is a trend of the other main character treating his romances like Bond girls, loving and leaving them-- and who want that for their favorite character?

I knew this, and so I didn't talk about slash around you-- or much at all, since it's a tiny, old fandom, for a show that's awesome and old (my mom watched it as a kid!). I joined the LJ community, and chattered with the friend who got me hooked on it, and squeed over episodes with my mom and talked about plots with my brother, and I was pretty happy not talking slashiness at you!

So when the fandom got a new comm, just for slash, and I joined, and I posted to the "WHAT SHIPS DO YOU SHIP" thread with "this guy*that guy, because omg do want!"-- you had to have been looking to get offended at me. You don't even like slash, why would you look at the slash comm? And why would you message me to ask me to defriend you because I made a post somewhere you shouldn't even have been at?!

I am very baffled.

In summary: Anti-slasher goes out of her way to find out what I slash, gets into a tizzy and defriends me because she is "completely not okay" with my ship (that I have never knowingly mentioned in her presence). What.
