Right. You. The stupid person.

It is your Furman-right to dislike Transformers slash and I'm totally cool with it. Most of the fandom feels this way. However, that doesn't mean you can be a jerk about it.

It's both rude and immature to come into someone's private DevArt gallery or fanfiction post and yell at them for putting up slash. Speaking out against it doesn't make you some sort of fandom martyr and you are not speaking for the passive majority. The passive majority doesn't even know who you are, nor do they care. They're over at the Allspark forums trying to figure out if Rumble is red or blue.

Let us get to the heart of your complaints, bearing in mind that you are both a writer and artist of Sues. You say that portraying Galvatron and Cyclonus in a relationship is tarnishing Galvatron's reputation and making Cyclonus look like, and I quote, a "simpering pussy". In a direct contradiction of that, you also mention that it is insulting to those in a homosexual lifestyle. WTF mate.

If you think being "gay" damages their reputations, you're far more offensive than most slashfic could ever be. The fact that they happen to be snogging does not mean they're weak or undignified or anything else. There are strong gay guys and there are wimpy straight guys, and anyone writing those two properly would know how powerful they both are. Sexual preference does not determine personality. Cyclonus would NEED to be strong in order to deal with Galvatron on a personal and intimate basis, as Galvatron is neither safe nor sane (although I'm assuming there's consensual somewhere in there). People might want Galvatron's job, but they certainly don't want his.

On a broader basis, Transformer romantic relationships are not a fan-made concept. Watch Beast Wars (which had a good bit of Silverbolt and Blackarachnia getting cuddly). Or "The Search for Alpha Trion" and "War Dawn", featuring quite a bit of romance. And if you have a problem with The Gay, watch some of Transformers: Energon. You may learn something.

On the other hand, the Decepticon females you keep drawing and writing? Definitely NOT around in the original cartoon. Nightbird doesn't count. Creating Decepticon females is perfectly cool, but you can't go around yelling about strict canon and then have your 'con femmes kicking male ass and complaining that people just ogle them and don't take them seriously because they're girls. *is going to save THAT rant for another day* You left the original intent of the writers behind a long time ago.

There's a handy little tool called the back button. Learn to use it.

Oh, and this?

And in a sense spirit Galvatron is fuming seeing stupid homo jokes of him and Cyclonus. He's raging, screaming and all out furious about it. He's sick and tired of seeing it and wants to destroy all that fanart that depicts it.

This does not help your credibility.
