These are a tendency for slash stories to displace (1) women and/or (2) non-romantic or -sexual relationships in order to make way for a m/m relationship.
Yeah, that's one of my biggest beefs with slash and yaoi as well, and I speak as someone who reads and writes slash and reads yaoi. I wish there were more femslash and yuri; I think I would feel better about the popularity of slash and yaoi in fandom and the mangaverse if there were equal numbers of f/f romances.
