Random question time
I'm just gonna say this, going in... I am not going to express my personal opinions on any of the things I'm about to mention, one way or the other, so don't anyone go giving me any "motives" in asking this question

LOL! Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it, right? ;)
>Claiming that in character pics are okay but not in character pics isn't is just drawing an imaginary line in the moral sand.<
This is a very good point. And if applied literally, it would mean that all fan art that's created using pics is fuzzy. Including mine, because MS and CB probably didn't intend for me to take random shots of them out of context and put them together to imply anything romantic either.
So... here's the Big Question (tm). Is it just the genders involved in the manips that make them either acceptable or unacceptable in the minds of the people who might see them? (And yes, I am aware how bigted that sounds... even though I've no problem at all with homosexuals.)
Is it a sign of bigotry if slash manips bother someone, but het manips don't? Or is it simply a matter of sexual turn-ons... is gay really seen as "aberrant" or "deviant," or is it simply seen as a "kink" or "fetish" that, while it might turn some people on, turns others off?
