Sheesh

There's so much bad feeling between slash and gen (and particularly between perceived slash and gen) in this fandom that I wonder if it isn't a good thing when those two "camps" are wholly separate, the way they are in other fandoms. Then at least one side doesn't get hit by the other's vitriol all the time.

I have trouble fathoming people's need to be "right" when it comes to something that is so clearly a matter of personal taste.

Sigh...

This is something I´ve often wondered about myself. I love slash but I wouldn´t even think of attacking others for liking gen. Who am I to tell people that they´re right or wrong? It always amuses me, though, when one of these debates turns into a religious war, which happens quite frequently.

But how would you manage to keep them apart? :-)

Has this happened to you lately?
