Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

It's a tad absolute to say that every non-homophobic person presented with the finest the slash world has to offer will become a convert and immediately not uncomfortable.

even like I need to preemptively defend myself against charges of homophobia

I don't think that not liking slash is a terrible thing or means that you're homophobic. I'm a slashoholic so I can't really relate but I get that, for some people, it doesn't do it for them. It's just a different preference.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Very few slash pairings give me much of a zetz, though I can certainly enjoy them on a "oh my that's nice writing" basis... except for Due South fiction. I have no truly self-satisfying explanation for this, so wouldn't presume to dictate what other people are supposed to like or not like. Though I will happily discuss DS with you until your eyes glaze over, or after that point because it's possible that I will not notice your expression.

It's like the exact opposite of a squick, Steph.

Quiet, you! Or I'll organize a group hug!

I like to talk about politics with people that agree with me, and I like high class places.

categories, lightning round: Most Disturbing Slash Pairing, any fandom?

For me, it's a tie between Transformers slash fic and KnightRider slash fic.
