It is not so often anymore that I fall on the 'youngun' end of a divide

I got sidetracked into a 'discussion' of slash definition (NOTE TO SELF: you already know better than to go commenting on other ppls journals besides feedback. Really. DONT.), and 4realz, you guys. I understand the historical what-the-fuck-ever, and I get that both authorial intent and mainstream culture render 99% of all public characters (Fictional or Real) heterosexual, but I still completely FAIL to wrap my head around maintaining that the 'heterosexual' has any place in a definition of slash (which I obviously use to denote the genders of the persons involved, though a different digression would be about how the lines between slash and het fail to have much real meaning for me at this point except to denote where I tend to find the more compelling fiction). And obviously, this is me being Wrong on the Internet to gobs of people, but srsly. My brain cannot even.
