Many long rants cut short
Believe it or not, slash is not ruining the fandom, and things won't be instantly better if slash suddenly disappeared. Trust me, I've read enough Sora/Kairi fics that turn Riku into a terrible person to be sure the problem runs deeper than that. (And that's a rant for another day.)
Characters that were only friends in the games are not "out of character" if they're a couple in a fanfic.
Making a character hetero-/homo-/bi-/pan-/a-sexual doesn't make them out of character.
I would say more, but I think the above puts my opinion out there in the most succinct way I can manage. Agree or disagree, just let me enjoy my pairings (and friendships) in peace, please.
