Fandom is deeply, deeply homophobic. Idk why people still even bother trying. It's just that it's faux activism hiding fetishes is all. Just look at the way the Supernatural fandom is full of straight women that think Dean/Castiel is peak representation despite it being two straight men that constantly betray and blackmail each other, & then turn around and spend all day writing straight-to-gay corrective rape, pedophilia, and bestiality and telling everyone that getting the shit beaten out of you by a friend is evidence of subby gay love bc apparently gay men are literally porn tops and abusive or bottoms and loving abuse. Oh, and their campaigns to forcibly out actors they delusionally believe are gay are significant too.

I would love to live in a world where I was shocked by finding homophobic fetishism, chasing, etc in fanfiction.

I'm pretty new to reading fanfiction (apart from a couple classics like My Immortal, lol) so this is news to me, and I just wanted to vent about it. I think it is also worth observing because straight people have no idea how much same-sex relationships are fetishized...

The Supernatural fandom you described sounds super creepy.
