"Personally, I just don't know enough about any them as people (or as characters) to write about them or even necessarily to read about them, and that's not an issue of race. I don't think it's fair to assume that people aren't writing smut about Disashi because he's black."

But, see, you can of did say that it didn't exist.

The difference is that the most popular bands -- FOB, MCR, Panic -- all get written about extensively. The problem is that GCH is more popular than Panic, but they're not written about. Travis, who has PLENTY of slashy canon with several people and most recently, Pete -- Pete might be engaged, but most of MCR is married and they get slashed constantly and Pete still gets slashed, just usually with white guys -- and still Travis doesn't get written with any kind of frequency.

Also, in every single fandom I've ever been in -- seven over the last five and a half years -- even when people of color are the main characters, they're not written with even half the frequency of white characters. It isn't a coincidence, it's far too prevalent for that, and the argument that it isn't related to race is used in every. single. fandom. because people don't want to deal with the fact that there is racism in fandom, and that racism isn't limited to guys who like to walk around in their mama's sheets.
