I'm sorry, but it's hard for me to imagine that anyone who's been around fandoms for any length of time hasn't already have been exposed to every "reason" imaginable for slash. Especially if she has "friends she dearly loves" who are slashers. Didn't she ask them already? After all these years did she truly believe someone could magically give her a reason for slash she could accept? Give me a break. I don't care what terms they couch it in, I find it hard to think it's not just another attempt to ridicule slash and indirectly, or maybe not so indirectly, slashers.

But, hey, I'm just unfriendly. *g*
