It's not that I'm saying people shouldn't support het pairings. It's a completely different thing for you to support a non-slash pairing and for you to tell me that I *can't* like a character in a slash pairing because it's just somehow wrong.

I don't think anyone has a right to dictate what a given person can like or dislike. These people say it's okay to like slash, and then they turn around and say it's *not* okay to like slash when it comes to certain characters. That's completely different from someone who likes a het pairing and states their preference. As soon as you start telling people what they should and shouldn't like, you're crossing that boundary.

Everyone has a right to what they like. And if I were to decide that Ruki and Juri made a better couple that Ruki and Ryo, is it right if someone tells me that I'm brainless because I'm making "perfectly straight" characters gay? Maybe they think that the characters are perfectly straight, but that's their opinion, not mine. I'm not telling them that they're brainless for making "perfectly gay" characters straight, am I?

The same applies to question four. If I want to make all of the characters gay (or just single), I can. Why should someone have a right to tell me what I should and shouldn't do? There are people who somehow think that liking at least one het pairing puts them a few notches above the people who don't, so they can put on this superior attitude and blabber on about "brainless yaoi fangirls" who refuse to have their token het pairings.

It's incredibly stupid. Just because someone likes a different pairing than me, it does not make them better than me!

And see? :D I can babble for just as long.
