I think a lot of the talk maybe was kept within m/m slasher circles, then, because I haven't heard about it from that direction until the past maybe five years. I'm glad that it's expanding! Because, like I said, I've been having this conversation for years myself, but until five years ago I was always told I was wrong and I didn't get it. And again, I've never thought that all m/m slashers are like that!

I would like to see a permanent level of improvement, though, and seeing the discussions become more visible always helps - or helps me feel better, at least.
