~ There will be NO discussion that couple A or character A cannot be gay since again, everybody has a right to ship who they want. You can say you don't see them as gay and debate why that is, but you cannot flat out say they are not gay.

This is my question. How can there not be a discussion if they're gay or not? I got in trouble because I said the characters on CSI are not gay.
This is an established fact. I didn't establish it, tptb did. By saying that I'm not saying you can't slash whoever you want. Go ahead. I don't slash or ship anyone, but I do read slash and have written a slash fanfic and a ship one too. I'm all for it and it's interesting to see some of the pairings, whether het, gay or lesbian. :wtf: :shifty:
I'm all for people shipping and slashing who they want, but if the slashers can say the characters are gay then people should be able to say they're not gay.
I read the rules and will abide by them, but if I say I don't see the Nick/Greg pairing or Catherine/Sara pairing because they're not gay or lesbian, I'm stating something that is established on the show. If I say it's because I don't think they're gay, it's because they aren't gay or lesbian on the show.
I guess what I'm trying to say if someone says the couple isn't gay how can that mean that no one can slash or ship a couple? Or that I'm saying that no one can slash a couple?
I'm not trying to cause trouble here, I just think shippers and slashers can say what they want (not about bashing, flaming, whatnot about a poster) but non-shipper/slashers can't.
We're told to keep all ship and slash talk in shipper central and I agree, but if there is a thread for, say, GSR shouldn't there be a thread that's non-GSR? A thread for Smacked and a thread for non-Smacked?
I've read in a slash thread, how everyone who doesn't see that the two guys are gay should get their heads examined. Really? Cause I could say the same thing about them.
We have one thread to debate ships and slashes, but we can't really say how we feel for fear of retribution and getting in trouble. I'd really like threads were you could 'bash' (for lack of a better word) a ship or slash, because sometimes you just have too. I mean I've had a slash shoved down my throat and I can't begin to tell you who much I dread those two characters being on screen together and a ship for that matter.
I do see what you're saying too,
Kinkapoodles. You're just trying to keep the peace and like I said I'll follow the rules, to make your life easier, but I just had to get this off my chest.
