The outright homophobia in some of these responses is incredibly frustrating. And also incredibly predictable.
Another clear example of the cognitive dissonance folks develop in sf/f circles. You can build a whole world around dragons and magic and whatever impossible aspect the writer wants to dream into existence, but no gays or bi folks, no lesbian or trans folks. That’s where the world building stops. That’s where “but it’s not realistic sweaty!” comes out to play.
You make your fan career on m/m fic, and you give the weakest, pass the buck, het is revolutionary response?
Nah.
