As a victim of Old Fart Syndrome I had to look up slash.
After learning things I never wanted to know about bad music, I was a little startled to learn that written slash was just something involving two people with the same kind of connection port.
From the reaction you described, I was expecting the text version of Goatse or something. I could understand it then. I'm pretty sure running into that unexpectedly has sent people out there wearing dynamite belts. Slash, on the other hand, is something I've apparently been reading now and then for much of my life, and the only time there's been anything wrong with it as a story is when it's clearly Mary Sue material. (Gary/Stu?)
When I'm dictator, _that_ will be restricted to phone sex hotlines.
Also, men will not be allowed to wear Spandex unless they can provide an affidavit from a male sex partner.
