I suspect the last.

Slash and fans are like "Cute-kid-and-pet" story that can be used to fill a slow news day. It's something just racy enough to get a read, something everyone can feel superior to, and it lets the writer be witty (or think he is).

I also suspect some base-line nervousness, like when I told a room full of men that gay guys are better dates. They laughed then got hostile:

"Why would you date someone who isn't even sexually atttracted to you?"

"Gee, I dunno. They only dance well, know the best places to go and don't expect me to pay for the evening out on my back. Why on earth would I date someone who treats me like a fun human being instead of a whore?"

And for the record, I have seen Spongebob Squarepants slash.
I must go scrub my brain of the memory.
