The Top Ten Ways I'm an Attention Whore
One of the secrets on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fandomsecrets today mentioned a top ten list of the worst slash pairings. I was curious, forgive me that, and I actually googled and found it. It is so biased and horribly reasoned that I'm not sure whether I should laugh my ass off or be pissed that this person's anywhere near fandom. Not only does he use a classic pointless argument against incest by asking, "Would you sleep with your brother?" (lol, missing the point), but he is also apparently unable to recognize affection in canon unless it's blatantly spelled out:
"I think the only reason Axel wanted Roxas to come back was so Xemnas wouldn't skewer him for it."
THAT'S your argument against Axel/Roxas? That Axel didn't actually care about Roxas? Because he's a nobody so he can't feel? Oh, come on! If you're going to bash the fangirls for ignoring canon, you should probably do your best to not contradict it either.
Edit: Holy crap. I read the rest of the countdown, and it was just. So. Flawed! General arguments based on your personal preferences do not a rebuttal of a pairing make. Try again later. No, wait, don't. Spare us any further dreck.
