I was thinking about this a couple of weeks ago, and I was surprised that a couple of people on my flist agreed with the warnings. I think warning for het or slash is kind of creepy. Like it gives the impression that sexuality is something to be warned about, not right, and I just don't feel comfortable with that at all.
And I used to be limited to reading Jack/Ianto but lately I'm such a multishipper (but a strange one, there are still some pairings I will not touch with a barge pole) and I've started writing other pairings. I like to think I'm making it my mission to make people more open minded when it comes to ships. But yeah, can't change what other people think. I feel bad that it sometimes frustrates me that het is considered unnatural in this fandom. Like, why is het so bad? I don't get it. I don't care about the genders of the characters, it's the personalities I love.
And don't get me started on Gwen bashing fic. It's all massively OOC.
Anyway, yeah...doesn't matter to me if it's het/slash/femslash. And I'll give any pairing a try at least once.
