YES. I loved that they're a supportive and established relationship, but they have realistic problems to deal with like any couple. So when it's all Kirk/Spock slash and Uhura's just there to "enable" it somehow, not cool. I'm not against slash but it's frustrating when it feels like the women of a fandom don't matter because the fic is all about getting the boys together. (In Avengers I see the prevalence of Tony/Steve, totally ignoring Pepper...) I also wish people wouldn't ignore or quickly dismiss important established canon relationships, het or slash or femme, just to make their own pairing happen. If the char's in a ship, you either have to deal with that or make your AU hinge on more than "X and Y aren't together."
