I love the icon (I especially love "Hawkeye is God"), and now I really want to know what should never happen again.
With slash I've gotten to the point where I'm really getting sick of the percentages. My fandoms went Supernatural (about fifty-fifty), FMA (60-40%) and now I'm getting into Saiyuki and Death Note, which are fandoms with NO HET.
I never had a problem with slash when I had plenty of well-written gen and het to read, and the {random fandom} het communites on lj were active, but now that there's such a disparity between het and slash I'm getting slightly irritated. I like femmeslash, because it's focused on the women, which I really, really like, so while I won't seek it out, I'll really enjoy it when I come across authors I know writing it.
I like your chiken-fried steak metaphor. For me, it's like coconut. I hate coconut, can't bear to eat anything with coconut in it, and recently, it seems like everyone is putting coconut is everything.
With smut, I think the fact that I don't have the parts they're describing, and don't have a POV character to act as a window into the action, nor do I have the "pretty boys kissing squee!" gene.
