Actually, I think it's a pretty old fandom. My Chemical Romance has been around since 2002 and Fall Out Boy has been around for 4 or 5 years. I think it's just gotten BIGGER over the last two years because of all the baby bands springing up out of Fall Out Boys pants or something. But yeah. It's just kind of wank free.
I think that's partly because it's ALL RPS, so there's no holier than thou types running around telling people how they shouldn't write it. It's also mostly boys and they wear EYELINER so I mean... they kind of bring the slash on themselves. :P
It's also strangely pro female. Everyone likes the girlfriends and the women in the bands. I know of two wanks in that fandom, one having to do with whether or not Patrick Stump is drinking a beer in a picture (it was mostly considered ridiculous) and the other was started by an SPN person actually. :D It was about whether or not the "stage gay" the bands have going is insulting to people who are actually gay. Because this girl is actually gay and she took offense to them making out on stage and then going home to their wives and girlfriends.
