-There is some controversy over the definition of '''slash''', particularly concerning the requirement of non-[[canon]]icity in slash relationships. This is because the term '''slash''' emerged in a context where [[canon]]ical erotic and/or romantic same-sex relationships were rare to non-existent: products of (primarily) North American and British popular culture in the 1970s, especially on [[television]] and in the [[movies]]. Therefore, in the absence of overt homoerotic material, the distinction between canon and non-canon same-sex relationships became moot.

Therefore, in the absence of overt homoerotic material, the distinction between canon and non-canon same-sex relationships became  moot.
 Since the emergence of canonical same-sex relationships and their increasing overtness in Western popular culture, it has been suggested that the term [[homoerotic]] could usefully co-exist with '''slash''' to designate, respectively, canonical and non-canonical same-sex relationships. However, this suggestion is not standard usage.
 Earlier references to '''slash''' also tended to designate only, or primarily, ''male'' same-sex relationships. This is due at least in part to the prevalence of [[male characters]] over female characters onscreen, and the increased importance accorded to them by the producers of popular culture.
