Someone else (runpunkrun, I think) brought up the slash thing the other day, in that it was mentioned on Tumblr as something the old people say. Which was a surprise to me. I see that it's part of the other thing you mention, where we generally no longer have to explain why a character might be interested in a same-sex relationship.
I mean, it's great that the artificial divide between het and same-sex fiction is disappearing, but I still like knowing whether something is slash or het or gen just for categorization purposes. I guess it's a tagging thing now rather than a content thing.
