This. Just this whole post. I've dodged most of this hullabaloo, so I hadn't heard about someone comparing slash to drag (which, surprise, isn't solely the property of a single gender or sexuality! do some fucking research, writer!) and the self-importance of it all just boggles. With the added fail that apparently writing men in a romantic relationship is somehow making them female and following an inherently female story because...men don't fall in love or experience affection in all its various forms, I guess?

But my favorite sentence in the whole thing is this: and guess what? good stories are usually about people, not fetishised objects.

YES.

Have fun with the family, and keep safe while traveling.
