Thank you for that and your clarifications. I was responding to one element of what someone said, but I didn't want it to be taken as referring to all slash fic, and especially to not also apply to het fic. My standards for both genres are the same, but I was just talking about slash (and one tiny element of one subset of slash) at the time so I didn't clarify when I should have.
IDK... I sort of feel like fandom wants everyone to process and work through their privilege in public for everyone else to commentate on in real time, but I'm not sure how appropriate that is, or whether it should be a requirement in order to participate in fandom. It can sort of feel like a self-criticism meeting at times, with people who don't even e-know me let alone real-life know me.
Edited because: Oh god I'm wording things just terribly today. This is what happens when I get all flustered. That second paragraph has nothing to do with you, or what you said, just a general observation. Sigh. I am just going to get off the internets... like... forever.
