why it would be easier to handle him being with Viggo in that case is another matter
My thought as well... well put! I think it was a well written post. But it would have come through as stronger to me if she hadn't put that strange pseudo psychoanalyses in the end. Is it only the belief that a person is gay in real life that would render such an analyses? She seems unaware (?) that people who write slash are looked upon in the very same way, if they believe the current slashed actor is gay in real life or not. A selection of what I have read:
-- Slash is written because the woman feels inferior to other women, -- because she can't handle the thought of the favorite actor with another woman, -- because the writer fears/hates her mother (can't stand another woman in a sex scene) -- because the writer fears/hates the father (can't stand the thought of a man doing something to a woman in a sex scene) -- because the writer is homosexual herself
et cetera.
Summary: if she writes slash herself she is pretty much in the same boat as other slash writing women, even if these women believe an actor is gay in real life or not. perhaps a little thought to consider when the need to rock the boat becomes too strong.
