You know, Katie keeps telling me my brain is completely permeated by slash, and I always kinda thought I wasn't that bad, but now ...

I had a Pinky and the Brain SLASH DREAM!

Somebody kill me?

They're adorable. I still love the whole thing about their kid. You can't tell me that the makers of the show didn't know what they were doing.

Oh, I'm completely convinced that slash is common knowledge in most of showbizz, and that quite a number of people deliberately play up to it. Because yeah, hi, the kid? It's so not our imagination. (That's my story and i'm sticking to it.)

Heh. Don't you get upset with people who say the same thing about slashable real people?

I don't think they're aware of slash; I think they're aware of the homoeroticism of the situation and slyly acknowledge it.

Not in and of itself, no. I hate it when people use it as a "justification" (to themselves or others) for writing RPS. Because RPS is not only okay if the subjects are "asking for it". :)

And yes, good point. ^_^

Ah, well, I guess I'm just the only one who gets irritated by it in any context. For all that we think we're so influential, slashers are a very small part of the world. What people like the Pinky and the Brain creators are playing up to is the gay and lesbian market which has, or so recent research shows, a great deal of disposable income and brand loyalty.

Hm, true.

(I have to say, I have the (annoying) habit of using "slash(y)" as a shortcut to mean "homoerotic" a lot. Should stop that.)

[rsadelle]

"Slashy" and "homerotic" are synonyms, as are "slashiness" and "homeroticism," but "slash" and "homoeroticism" are not.
