I like this rant. I think you hit on a number of things that have been somewhat bothering me that I couldn't really pin down. The biggest one I just realized the other day in that I don't identify as a slasher despite reading and writing slash fic (in addition to everything else and a ton of gen). And I think it's because at some point slasher came to mean 'person who's only really in it for the hot boysex' and that does not include me.
The thing is I know that's not accurate, but it's what I think of when someone talks about slashers.
