Okay, fandom, this should go without saying, but if you're writing same-sex relationships--be they monogamous or poly--then you should really not EVER be seen dismissing the IRL concerns and issues LGBTQ&c. folks face.

You should never fucking get caught pissing and moaning and fapping to the tune of "oh bawwwwwwwww they're all taking things toooo seeeeheeheeeeeeriously abloobloobloooo, guyyyyyyyys loooooook they're harshing my squeeeee waaaaahhh omgtehgaysaremeeeeean bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~"*

You should never be fucking seen crying about us 'shoving it down your throats' (my my my, how Freudian you are)when we hold hands or have big fabulous gatherings, because, OMG, no one wants to SEE that, we're only allowed to be gay if you don't have to think about it!**

Don't fucking do that shit if you write same-sex pairings.

Because that makes you look like a giant fucking choad.

It makes you look like a giant, wanky, immature, snotty, snitty, whiny, ignorant, objectifying, disgusting, putrid, entitled, loudmouthed, bratty fucking choad.

*yes, this is pretty fucking much what it sounds like.

**YES, that's really pretty much what you're fucking implying.

*nodnods* Chocolate will fix anything! (Except broken bones, but even then it can make you feel better about them.)

Seriously. I don't think one must always change/delete anything that someone objects to, because there are people out there who'll object to *anything*, but refusing to *consider* you might've written something skeevy even when someone lays it out for you clearly is as much as an admission...

Yeah. I didn't demand anything or get personal. (Too many profs drumming into my head How To Crit Properly!) I said stuff like 'X cliche basically comes out of Y issue, and as a result of that association it's seen as skeevy in most fandoms, you will probably want to avoid that. You don't HAVE TO change this, it can work as it's doing now, but, if you do decide to it this way, you will really want to change Q and Z so the inherent sketchiness in THIS trope here doesn't make your hero look creepy' and so on.

tl;dr I said society had issues and we absorb them as we go along so sometimes we produce stuff that looks REALLY BAD to others without meaning to do so. (I have done this myself. I was a heinous doofus when I first started writing slash. My old stuff stings to look at. XD) Apparently that was a dick move though.

I'd say you were classier than most people I've run into?

And yeah, before one decides to leave potentially skeevy things in a story, one really needs to think about who's doing it and what it says. Because it sends one message if it's a villain saying racist shit for example, and a very different one if the person doing it is someone we're supposed to ID with or see as admirable.
