The Most Flamed Genre On Mibba - Comments

I don't see this on mibba much, but then, I don't read as much.

This made me lmfao though.
'If the story is like that, it's not because the main character doesn't have a penis.'

Again, never seen this happening on Mibba.

I read both slash and het. I think it's annoying when someone bashes either.
Thanks for writing this.

hahaha i didnt even know people bashed het stories in such a manner. i mean im s lash reader, but i didnt even know this HAPPENED. lol, sorry for being ignorant...

Political Correctness Gone Mad. It kind of seems to me like the straight people bashing het are doing a sort of "I kissed a girl" (the song by Katie Perry) thing -- "I read slash (although I'm straight) and thus I'm open minded and modern and mature and also a bit of a rebel; you're narrow-minded, etc" -- I don't read slash personally, but I get annoyed when people say "straight sex is disgusting" -- then it's a, hello, how do you think babies are born? People have been doing it forever; clearly it has something going for it. And if you don't like het, don't read it. Simple as. And it doesn't make sense for female characters to be annoying, generically. Some will be - that's called deliberate. Others won't. Same goes for male characters - a penis doesn't disqualify them from that.
Other than that (sorry for the rant), great article, very well written, completely true, well done:)

fssssh!
you amaze mee.
i like both het and slash,
bashers of either annoy me.
:D

Thanks for posting this; it's really well written and it's totally right. I like het, but I really like slash too... I just write het 'cause I can't write slash at ALL. XD But you're totally right. ;] Again, thanks.

"Reading/writing about myself with a rock star is disrespectful.

Yet reading and writing about these same rock stars having sex with their band mates and/or family members isn't? Lust is lust; "

FTW!

oh, god, I love you.
PLZ HAVE MY CHILDREN!!!!1

Well written. Really, mate.

I think it's incredibly short sighted to say that heterosexual sex is 'disgusting'. I mean...it is what it is, female and male. That doesn't make it disgusting. That doesn't make it beautiful either.

I fail to see how the sexuality of the characters has any real influence on the supposed quality of the story.

[I]Het is gross.[/I]

xD

wow. i was totally unaware of this. tee-aitch-ex for informing me. :]

I think that was a brilliant article, but I honestly didn't know het was being bashed. I know some slash stories have been bashed but not het.
I don't read much slash because I feel uncomfortable reading it. I have one slash story and I remember feeling so uncomfortable writing it but I only did it 'cause I wanted people to like my story. But since then I've stopped and kinda said 'fuck it' to writing for people who only wanna see slash. At the moment I think I'm reading one slash because it has a good story line.
And the funny thing is the people bashing het are probably straight.
Once again, great article.

I don't read much het or slash on mibba, but by the time i want to i've usually found something on pimping and recking.
It's all good - if it's well written - really.

Heterosexual couples/sex disgust me. That's my opinion and I have as much right to it as people who are grossed out by homosexual sex/couples. As long as no violence comes out of it, and as long as people respect that others will do what they like in their bedrooms, what's the problem with having an opinion on that?

Well that's stupid.
I love slash... And het, and femmeslash.
I just think sex in general is good writing. Pople shouldn't spaz out about it.
How do you think you were made, boysex?

[b]The girl below me:[/b] Slash means, guy on guy action.

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly does 'slash' mean?

personally?
i like both kinds of stories..
i woudnt ever write a slash however, because i would probly destroy the entire genre x)
anywho, it all depends on the author, like u said.
i've read awful hets and awful slashes.
i only read certain kinds of fanfic.
does that make me bad?
no because i read almost anything.
if i dont like it, i simply dont comment.
i think its positively chidish to leve a comment saying how much u hated it.
w/e. people! ur all entitled to ur opinions, but sometimes its just better to keep ur mouths shut!!
