Line 6:
This is a subculture-within-a-subculture; these people are usually both a [[Yaoi Fangirl]] and a [[Yuri Fan]] and while they may favor one of these over the other they engage in both. This can range from people who merely prefer to pair off every character they like with another of the same sex to the more extreme people who appear to argue that writing slash is a politically liberating act. Occasionally it can be an unexpected by-product of backlash against the addition of [[Mary Sue]] [[Original Character|Original Characters]] just to pair off canonical characters.
 
The extreme versions are the kind who write [[JKJ. K. Rowling]] hate mail for daring to give [[Harry Potter|Remus Lupin]] a wife and impose [[Die for Our Ship]] on any female character who so much as has sexual tension with one of "their" guys, often in the most sadistic and humiliating ways. They also don't seem to want to listen when many real gay people point out the fanfiction they're writing is highly stereotypical and doesn't really reflect reality (not that all Het Fic does this either, but there you go). Mind you, more extreme typical [[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi Fangirls]] might engage in this sort of flaming as well. There are also those who are just tired of the ubiquity of het romance plots in all variety of fiction and the tropes that go with them, particularly the stereotyping of everyone involved. This has been known to scare artists away or outright refuse to draw yaoi or yuri.
 
Counterintuitively, there may be a homophobic element to [[Het Is Ew]] in some cases; straight women (and straight men) who subscribe to the notion may feel that their own sexuality is threatened if they find a work that includes a member of their own sex arousing. This is one of the reasons for the [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|prevalence of lesbian porn aimed at straight men]]; viewers don't need to [[Stupid Sexy Flanders|worry about being turned on by another guy]].
Line 31:
** Hatsuki is a straighter example (no pun intended), having a large collection of gay male porn and a strictly lesbian love life.
*** She doesn't seem particularly grossed out by het sex, it just isn't her thing. At one point we see her working a phone sex line for some extra cash and not being unduly put off by a male customer.
* Almost the entire cast of [[Amazoness (Webcomic)|Amazoness]]

* Marik in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series]]'' is shocked to discover that there's fanfiction pairing Yugi with Téa rather than with Joey.

Line 43:
* ''[[Rick and Steve]]'' have had plenty of this, playing it for laugh, especially from resident [[Fag Hag]] Condie Ling (who uses the term "breeder").
* ''[[Drawn Together]]'' shows an alternate future where Wooldoor's show has turned most of the world gay, and the "breeders" have been driven underground.
* On ''[[South Park]]'', the men in town decide to destroy the future immigrant population by having a massive gay orgy, hoping to make the entire world gay to wipe out the species. [[It Makes Sense in Context]]. [[Makes Just Asas Much Sense in Context|Kind of]].
* Played with in an episode of ''[[King of the Hill]]''. Luanne and Bill begin working at a trendy new hair salon, but none of the female clientele want Bill near them until he starts pretending to be like the only other male hair dresser on staff, who is [[Camp Gay]]. Bill's clients even mention how "unfortunate" it is he's gay and how they'd love to have a boyfriend like him. The minute Bill admits he's not gay everyone becomes immediately disgusted. To them he was "interesting and unique" when he was gay, but straight he's just a "sleazy barber".
