Because having an opinion means I'm oppressing someone's exploration of their sexuality, you see.
Hee! And often it's the context -- I can totally see why people react like that when there are so many encounters with "Ewwww, slash!" But it's also completely possible to explore your sexuality while inadvertently perpetuating another form of oppression, and I think it's important to look at that. And the conclusions may be very different from different people, but it's the looking that I find important.
