Here's the thing about ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
pegasus_b for me.
1. I am hard pressed to believe that slash and ship/het can exist in the same place at the same time without someone's head exploding, but maybe I need my horizons broadened. I'd like to see it happen. I'd like to see someone try.
2. As far as I can tell PegB has an established audience at this point, and that audience tends to like, read and write slash. That's not an accusation that someone set up the community so that it would inherently excluded het/ship writers, it's just the fact of the matter. What I see that as meaning is that there's just not a huge audience for ship/het/femslash there because people aren't interested, except for the teeny tiny group willing to read both, and the slightly larger group willing to read anything well written.
3. I don't think I need PegB to be inclusive. I don't think it should have to be inclusive.
3.b. PegB has a policy if being inclusive, and I think that's fabulous and openminded and brave. However, I do think it's okay to have a space where het/ship/slash/femslash/beastiality is not welcome, or is not widely read by the established audience.
4. I was a lurker for too many years to count, so the idea that there's a silent fan majority? I think that's probably a pretty accurate assesment of readership and fandom.
5. Fandom. Oy.
Some of this showed up elsewhere as comments to f-locked posted within the last few days.
