Oh! Outrage!

If you tagged your fic 'Steve/Darcy' AND 'pre-slash' I can fucking guarantee, you are DOING SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG.

(Do not even get me started on my hatred of the tag 'pre-slash.')

But I would also point out that the proportion of queer slashers is big. Like, a few years ago there was an attempt at polling this stuff - and obviously those are inherently going to be skewed and messy, but this particular poll of thousands of self-identified slashers had the "queer women" proportion at around 60%. Straight women were in the minority. I mean, obvs that's just one poll, but it was pretty massive and is less anecdotal than my personal experience, so.

Huh, that is really interesting, because that is completely different than the other percentages that I've seen quoted before.

Idk. I don't massively disagree but I just think "undeniable" is way too certain of a term when there are so many people for whom slash is not about that at all

Yeah, probably a bad word choice.
