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)

I didn't really get into the fandom. I just kept seeing it around when my friends talked about it, and since just about all they talked about was L/Light (or Raito in those days) I just figured it was a yaoi manga with more of an interesting plot than some of the others.

I'm never surprised to see yaoi in a fandom these days. I'm surprised to see yuri, but not yaoi.
