A good deal of it is the fact that I am really just pissed off at white people in general right now (even to some extent myself). There's been appalling shit going on and I just want to bash...slash fic simply makes a good target without calling the Libertarian SF Asshole Squad down on my head.

The underlying issue has less to do with what people are writing than with what:
- characters are presented in the media, full stop
- the racism (and other marginalizations) of normativity in the cultures dominating fandom, both in fiction and outside it.
