yes, and gen and shipping can be the same if the shipping is gen. oh. look at that. darn. i can do it too.

gen doesn't mean eunuch. it means 'general', which technically can cover a variety of things. shipping and smut came along as categories afterward because of things like 'the random meme' being followed by 'the smutty random meme'. like, wtf do you think gen means? asexual? agender? genderless? it was the catch all which can and used to include shippy and smutty stuff until the need for nsfw boundaries came along..

which, btw, can apply to 'gen' stuff. h/c. torture. drugs. there's more to nsfw than boobies. and all that fits into gen.
