I think I've had this discussion before *bg*

I think the issue is slash as mere descriptor of m/m fanfic vs slash as generic category...like, I wouldn't like reading that story as a McShepper, bc it ultimately negates my personal investment. Just like I don't like reading betrayal fic. So if slash is meant to denote actually emotional investment cum sex, then it kinda fails...just like I'd never call Cowboy Days het, even though there's explicit het sex, bc there's no emotional investment attached to the sex and it's not a central plot point.

Now this story sounds different, but I can totally get why someone for their own idiosyncratic shipper methodology would call is gen...or maybe we should call it SMARM?>?????
