X is straight, because blah, blah, sexuality works like blah, and your sexuality isn't real

I debated a little about posting this because I recently posted a similar rant under flock, but this time the "it's just friendship/he's really straight in canon" thing was extra annoying, so:

Very interesting post on bisexuality and SPN, and what it means to the author that the siren (apparently there's a SPN episode with a siren?) appears to Dean as a male in order to seduce him.

Of course, someone has to appear in the comments to talk about how sexuality is only about physical attraction, and defend platonic friendships against misaimed attempts to sexualize them. She then goes on to insist that one can only be bisexual if one feels physical desire/sexual attraction toward both sexes, and that intense emotional attraction cannot be an expression of bisexuality unless the desire for sex is there, despite the OP's attempts to point out that people can identify as both asexual and heterosexual or gay/lesbian/bi, because affective/emotional desire is a component of sexuality as well. The commentor then decides that the OP is a troll. As you do.

( I know we're talking about same sex relationships and desire here, but you know what I want to talk about? Platonic friendships and how fandom doesn't value them enough! And also how asexual people's relationships aren't real! )

Happily, there's a square for this on the anti-slash bingo card ("You just don't understand how friendship works").

Fic rec request

Flist. I am reading JR Ward's Lover Ahvhenged. Please save me from this book with fic recs where no one speaks in a lame, poser copy of gangsta rap slang (in a book where all the people using said "street" slang are several hundred year old white guys. I'm not sure if it's cultural appropriation, or just stupidity. Can you appropriate stereotypical speech patterns that I kind of doubt anyone actually uses quite that way in real life?).

Rec me Terribly Misjudged fics. The misjudged character getting Beat Up Real Good is optional, but appreciated. Long fics extra appreciated.

You know those fics -- the ones where character X screws up or does something that can reasonably be interpreted as bad (sometimes not very bad, like appear to be a shallow, slightly douche-y playboy a la Bruce Wayne's "Brucie" persona, and sometimes very bad, like blow up a star system or support the SHRA) and other characters are angry and betrayed and think the worst of him. Except they lack the vital information that would explain or mitigate character X's actions, like that he's undercover, or secretly Batman, or was actually trying to do X and not Y and it just backfired horribly, or has terrible angst and is secretly dying, OMG (but gets better). And then they find out the truth, usually after character X has suffered and gotten all beat up and possibly been raped by Norman Osborn or something.

Writing quality is appreciated, but not required by any means.
