"... because duh, it's shounen anime. It wouldn't happen anyway!"
... or something of that manner. The site is down, and blogger ate my archives so that I can't find the entry where I whined about it. Okay, so I can understand part of it as she seemed to be harping about canon couplings anyway, but Jesus, that's just... a really, really pathetic excuse as to why she didn't consider slash pairings. Particularly when she was pairing Jun up with just about half the male cast if I remember it correctly.
But you are so right about this. People who simply doesn't like same sex couples for whatever reason are really fine by me. But I get seriously annoyed when they start making excuses for it. As for #4... well, there only thing more stupid looking than fanfics where all the characters are gay except for ONE couple would have to be the fanfics where all the boys are paired up with each other, but all the girls are straight and paired up with various OCs nobody could have cared less about.
