Yes, really.
Because while I may not be into m/m much most of the time, and have my own Issues With Slash Fandom, I've seen a few posts pop up on tumblr recently (here's the most recent) which have been taking the very simplistic line that slash's popularity is purely a result of misogyny, and that writing m/m is equivalent to only writing about white people. These posts also act like het is this POOR OPPRESSED MINORITY which, no.
It's nearly 2013, fandom, have we still not moved beyond this? Can't we argue about something else now?
( Cut for those as sick of it as me )
