I metaquoted janecarnall here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/metaquotes/3440592.html?#cutid1 and a bunch of dweebs have been saying how wrong mash slash is. Beazies.

It boggles my mind to think that anyone, anywhere, could watch M*A*S*H and NOT see slash. Come on! It's gayer than Christmas! :D

[lisaofdoom.livejournal.com]

Well, nobody really likes to look at their childhood memories in that light...

[katiemariie.livejournal.com]

Hey, I do! But, I'm a pervert.

[lisaofdoom.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're just silly. You don't count. ;)

*snickers* I mentally slashed Babysitters' Club when I was in second or third grade.

What a precocious little slasher I was.

[lisaofdoom.livejournal.com]

My goodness! I was raised Catholic, so I wasn't exactly trained to see slash early on, but now that you mention it, there are all sorts of possibilities with the BSC. I, however, refuse to try writing ANY of them.

[subluxate]

I've never actually written it. I just thought of all kinds of things.

My mother is Catholic, and my parents are two of the most conservative people I've ever met. If they knew what I was reading and writing all the time, they'd keel over. There's a lot they don't know, for fear of causing parental death.

Oh my god, so did I! o.O

[that_mireille]

We don't? *g* I grew up watching M*A*S*H, literally (I'm a year older than it is) and I don't have a problem with slashing it.

[lisaofdoom.livejournal.com]

Well, okay, so there are some exceptions. But most people, when faced with something like, say, Ernie/Bert from Sesame Street, will shudder a bit and feel like they need to go take a shower. Never mind that it's blatantly obvious or anything, but there's something about keeping their childhood memories unspoiled that lots of people seem to like. :p

[janecarnall.livejournal.com]

Huh? I love looking at my childhood memories in that light.

See me sitting on the edge of the couch as Jack and the Doctor flirt with each other. ;-)

[lisaofdoom.livejournal.com]

Okay, so maybe "nobody" was the wrong word. Most people don't like it. There's something about their innocent childhood that a lot of people consider "sacred" or something. :p

[that_mireille]

Does it count if the series perverts your childhood memories for you? *g*

[subluxate]

Phooey to them. If they couldn't see the slash, and the respondents were slashers (it looked like they were), then they're blind =P

[lucythedragon.livejournal.com]

If anybody misses the homoerotic (sub)text on this show, they are blind. BLIND, I TELL YOU. I mean come on. COME ON!

(OMG, RAM!)

[lucythedragon.livejournal.com]

Oh, in addition: why do people think their childhood memories are sacred somehow? It's the same reason everybody in the Doctor Who old school fandom refuses to believe the Doctor has even an inkling of sexuality and has a visceral reaction to any form of sexuality. "I watched it as a kid, so I can't sexualize it"? Hell, if there's Space Cases slash then MASH is free-range. /rant

I'm sure that just made no sense.

*waves hand*

I am Doctor Who old school fandom. And I thought I was one of those people... until Captain Jack popped up and the Doctor started flirting with him. Then I realised I was just waiting for the right... chemistry. (Also, I'm shallow, shallow, shallow.)

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

Why not, John Barrowman's eyes could melt anybody ;)

[bekkypk.livejournal.com]

NO. I'm old-school who and I can see it where it is :D
I mean, hello? Nyssa/5th Doctor is TEH SEX!
And Jack/9. Ohhhhh baby jack could do it for him XD
xx

[lucythedragon.livejournal.com]

I know, I shouldn't speak for all DW old-school; but damn, a lot of people wanked about it.

[sharselune.livejournal.com]

Space Cases slash, ha ha. I was so slashing Space Cases when I was little. Well, I didn't write anything, but you know.

[sarcasticsra]

I will admit, that sometimes I stretch it to get pairings, but with M*A*S*H?

BJ: *to Hawkeye* When I wake up, remind me to kiss you.

Hawkeye: Let me look at it.
BJ: Will you still respect me in the morning?

BJ: Our doctor said we couldn't have kids on our own.

Hawkeye: *to Trapper, who's carrying flowers* For me?
Trapper: *fingering stockings* Only if you put those on.

Hawkeye: *links arm with Trapper* Hey kids, want to make it a double date?

Hawkeye: *to Trapper* You've got a cute body!

Charles: *to Klinger* If these sheets are as silky as your tongue, I shall sleep like a baby.

...and the list is endless. I just don't understand how you could watch M*A*S*H and be comepletely oblivious to the innuendo. Gah.

[subluxate]

I love your quote list. We should make a much more extensive one.

[katiemariie.livejournal.com]

kmanderson made an archive of slashy quotes, episode by episode.

Oooh, thanks for the tip =)
