* This is part of the reason why a very vocal female ''[[Star Control]] II'' fan created the [http://zarla.livejournal.com/192372.html Secret Theater]. If you can have virtual sex with the gorgeous, humanoid, initially strictly platonic (or so she pretends) [[Hot Amazon|Commander]] [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|Talana]], why can't you do the same with [[Naughty Tentacles|Admiral]] [[Ho Yay|ZEX]], who's not attractive by most human standards but is smitten with you ''immediately''? Or, put another way: Talana [[Squick|Squicks]] almost no one, unless you consider the [[Unfortunate Implications]] that she may be sleeping with the captain because he is able to save her people; ZEX is a [[Squick]] factory to most fans but a [[Perverse Sexual Lust|trans-human lust object]] to others.
* ''[[Gravitation]]'''s fantastic soundtrack attracted a lot of fans who'd rather you didn't mention the [[Boys Love|gay]].
* The (90% female) Western fandom for ''[[XxxHolicxxxHolic]]'' is known to complain about the manga's focus on [[Girl of the Week|female characters]] and the relative lack of focus on the subtext between the male leads, though this becomes rather silly once you realize that in Japan the series is classified as [[Seinen]] -- as in, targeted at young men -- so of ''course'' the focus will be on girls and much less on the subtext between the males.
* Similarly, the wave of [[Periphery Demographic]] [[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi Fangirls]] who joined the ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' fandom in ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' have an [[Die for Our Ship|intense dislike for Relena and similar characters who "get in the way"]] of the [[Slash Fic|slash]].
* "[[Axis Powers Hetalia|Having people who are countries: okay. Having them be gay? TOO MUCH]]!"
