So I'm watching swimming last night, and after Phelps beats the living shit of the world record in the 200m, Mr. Foxx leans over and asks if I'm "writing gay slash porn" in my head for Phelps and Matt Grevers.

Not that several people on my flist haven't already made comments about this already, but really. Ur doing it wrong. And this isn't just a bandom thing, or a "teenie" thing. It's a fandom trend with people who don't seem to possess the circuitry in their brain that tells them shoving fandom into the faces of celebrities is a really bad idea. This isn't exclusive to teenagers or RPS-related fandoms; earlier this year, a woman took a leather bound copy of her epic fic to a con and presented it to the SGA cast. I don't think it was a slash fic, but STILL. GAH. I get physically ill when I so much as think about what those girls asked Ryan to do; it's not cute and it's not funny--it's embarrassing and completely disrespects the fourth wall (which is already having serious issues when it comes to RPS fandoms in general), not to mention the band/people involved. This is why I nearly had a nervous breakdown before my m&g; had this happened in front of me, I might've thrown up on Zack.
And I thought seeing "ryden and joncer 4 evar" on the big screen during HCT was atrocious. Baby Jesus weeps for you, Ryan Ross.
Yesterday was a crap day in terms of how I feel about fandom perceptions. This didn't help.
