Ah, I've only ever seen the one Chiaki get bashed.

Except for comic books(where pretty much every female reader I've encountered WANTS female characters and if they slash, they slash everything...comics are a case where most of the wank and bashing seems to come from the companies and creators themselves) most things I've dipped my feet into have been female dominated. I've never exactly polled guys about slash, but the ones I HAVE talked to it about have negative feelings about it.

And don't worry. I understand the need to be able to unload to someone from "the other side of the fence" as it were without fear of being torn into.
