Read this entry in isagel's journal now. Read the discussion that follows and tell me if they aren't talking about our fandom with all it's love for happy!fluffy! stories.
The general slasher dissing of the het relationships, of course, is also an assault on the notion that a man can truly love a woman - which is so very sad and irritating as well.
Not all slashers are anti-het (How is it possible for any person to be so resolutely anti-het? Doesn't that mean you're consciously dissing all real life heterosexual relationships as well? If that isn't silly and juvenile, then what is? Or maybe it's another case of it's just fan fiction syndrome). But sadly, the anti-het section of the slashers is the most vocal one.
