Attention "Death Note" Fandom

[redwoodalchan]

 I would treat the slash ships in your fandom with more gravity if you didn't treat them like they were the end-all be-all of shipping and the "Death Note" fandom in general.

Seriously--the mind boggles at how SO MANY PEOPLE could watch a psychological murder mystery about a notebook that kills people, and come out of it with nothing but gay bishounen porn to show for it!

(Before anyone asks, I'm not trying to come across as homophobic. I actually buy that Light and L might have a thing for each other. I'm complaining about how very, very overgrown this fandom is with shipping in general and slash shipping in particular)

As a person who participates in anime fandom: ...aren't all anime fandoms like that, though?

Yeah, they really are. I mention "Death Note" specifically partly because I think it's unusually bad even for large fandoms and partly because it's that time of year in which I visit the "Death Note" fandom (I used to be super-into "Death Note" so I occasionally venture back).
