You know, the slash person has a point. I find often slash to be homophobic, in that there's always such a focus on who's top and who's bottom, and what sort of characteristics people in those roles play. It's not hateful, it's just ignorant. And it's also not misogynistic, because it has nothing to do with women or femininity beyond the stereotypical reserved bottom. Which in a way is misandrystic, because it assumes that all men act one way or another, and that "another" is meant to be dominated.
But then again, the people who write like that just want to imagine hot boys fucking each other up the ass and don't know how to write anything actually engaging, so their opinions are pretty much worthless.
