Maybe (and this is a *big* maybe, so anybody feel free to slap me down for
+
it) slash is becoming diluted, altered so radically from its origins that
+
it's hard to point to it anymore unless "you were *there*". Maybe in ten
+
or
+
twenty years, when women are reading male/male romance historicals that
+
they
+
bought in their local supermarkets, this will all be lost forever in the
+
ever-blending line between general erotica, gay erotica and pornography in
+
general. The slash subculture is getting bigger every day. The concept
+
of
+
homoeroticism and women getting off on men together is becoming more and
+
more
+
socially acceptable (or at least more in the social consciousness).
+
+
People are inserting their own opinions here on this list because there's no Slash Bible that says, "here's how it started, and here's where. <ref> from [[Virgule-L]], quoted anonymously (Nov 18, 1993) </ref>}}
