Hmmph. Just last week I make a thread in Cafe Society linking to a site which is chock full of ruined childhood, mainly in form of slash or erotic fan art. And how many replies does it get? Zero. It’s got more than Sonic porn! Sonic porn’s tame! It’s got The Little Prince porn, people! LITTLE PRINCE PORN! (Or rather, it links to it - the site’s work safe, though the links more often than not aren’t)
I believe you meant to say “anarchy”, and not libertarianism — the latter advocates strong government. If you will agree to keep that straight, then I will agree to keep hackers/crackers straight.
I do believe that a domain is still available for folks with a syphilis fetish.
I’m personally convinced that if you look hard enough, you could find a site devoted to fetishists who are into chopping their sexual organs off with modified cuisinarts while skydiving in Strawberry Shortcake costumes.
I’ve recently read (thank you, Dave Langford) that the term slash originates from Star Trek fan fiction, specifically Kirk/Spock pairings (see the slash there?), a.k.a. KirkSpocking. True or UL? I’m too frightened to Google on that particular subject…
Y’all should see the weird shit at alt.binaries.nospam.toons! I’ve been a lurker there for a long time but lately I’ve been wondering why I bother. Some of those artists are really good, Zimmerman in particular, but all too often I find myself skipping over pics. There are some things that I do not need to see. Tentacle porn, various orgies (Simpsons, Alvin & the Chipmunks, Disney girls, etc.), you get the idea. The other day, some pedophile scum even spammed Photoshopped pics of Emma Watson!
Um, yeah. This is a surprise to you after what you’ve read in this thread? Heh. Personally, I find that pairing a little weird. I mean, isn’t Spock an alien?! Doesn’t he have, like, green blood? I know bugger all about Star Trek, but I was pretty sure that was the case… I don’t see much Kirk/Spock slash being written these days though. No tears shed on my part. I’ve never heard the term “KirkSpocking,” though it cracks me up.
And now for your no-doubt delighted perusal, a short list of some of the most popular slashed shows:
X-Files (Mulder/Krycek, Mulder/Skinner)
Buffy and Angel (Angel/Spike/Xander/Wesley/Gunn/Giles/Lindsay/Oz) (umm, not all at once)
Smallville (Clark/Lex)
Highlander (Duncan/Methos)
There’s also a lot of Harry Potter slash… which I don’t really dig at all.
Now that I have corrupted your innocence forever…
My personal “not so much icky as just WTF pairing award”:
Alex Krycek from X-Files/Prince Caspian from Narnia (!!??)
What’s with you people who are shocked at the idea of Rescue Rangers slash/porn? Am I the only one who had a major crush on Gadget when I was like 6 or so?
