Disregarding that 'comment', I see slash as just another genre of fiction/anime. Some like it, some don't. If I had the delusion that everyone liked it, would I be putting a warning on my info page about it?

If you really "saw slash as just another genre of fiction", you would not be warning people about it. People do not put advisories in their discussions about, say, epic poetry, spy fiction, or romance; they only do so when they know that the material they are handling is objectionable. Please try to see the logic of what you say.

No but they do put warnings when the content borders on pornography and erotica, which is what most of slash is.

And when they know many people don't have a preference for it.

You are being evasive; I wonder whether it is conscious or just a habit of mind you absorbed from contemporary culture. People do not like various genres - I myself, for instance, dislike spy fiction and INDIANA JONES-type adventure intensely. A former friend of mine could not bear anything that even felt like romance (for this, I think, there were personal reasons). But one does not put advisories on these things, nor recommend that minors do not read them. Only pornography has that honour. And for that there is a reason. If you do not see that, it is because you do not want to see it, not because you honestly do not understand the difference; the difference is obvious. And for the record, I have written both homosexual and straight porn (this before we get another red herring).

Have I just not admitted that slash is pornography and erotica? Or am I talking in riddles?

Re: One Question

What you have not admitted is that pornography is qualitatively different from other genres. That is the issue.

Re: One Question

[ariss-tenoh.livejournal.com]

That is probably because I don't see it as being different from other genres. It just requires ana dult to read them.

And if you can't resist insulting me and my character? Let's stop the 'conversation' right here. For both our sakes.

Now this really is bizarre. In this entry, I have not even said anything about you at all except for the statement that you would not admit a certain matter. How on Earth is that an insult? If pointing out what one regards as problems with another's argument was an insult, debate on any issue whatever would be impossible.
