Slash tolerance reality check

Anyway. As I don't usually read fbr_trash (because of its snake pit tendencies), I scrolled back to see what was in there. A good thing in a way, since I got a wake up call on the "outside" people's attitude against slash. I seem to forget that the slash-tolerance is not a generation thing. Being a fan (?) of mildly queer-themed bands doesn't actually make anyone tolerable. There are actually very internet-savvy, young, fandom-oriented people who think that people who write slash are disgusting/hurtful on their actions/sick. As I live in a freedom-of-speech-happy-land Finland and freely discuss slash in restaurants with my friends, I tend to forget this. So, thanks for the reality check.
