Why doesn't the Downs allow slash? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The better question is, why would anyone want to see slash on a Middle-earth site like the Downs? Slash is an intentional, gross misrepresentation of popular literary characters with the main purpose of shocking an unexpecting audience and/or actualizing a personal, prurient fantasy. With the Downs' focus on canon, which was free of both sexuality and sensuality, there is no place for slash.
