To my knowledge only Paul Darrow and Gareth Thomas have said this.
Which is interesting, because they continue to be featured in such artwork-- it's not a case of simply depicting only the actors who have not spoken out publicly against it. The fact is, the wishes of these two actors are still not being respected.
If you know of other B7 actors that have made similar declarations, I
would be interested toknow.
As Avon and Blake are apparently the characters featuring most often in slash stories and slash art, that may be the reason why we have heard from these two particular actors. That and the fact that Judith Proctor knows Gareth very well and has had the courage to ask him for his opinion.
I have been told that Janet Darrow also finds it very offensive; as for the other actors, I do not personally know what their opinions are one way or another. There are however, a number of reasons why they may not have expressed their feelings.
1/ They don't know about it.
2/ No one has asked them for their opinion.
3/ They don't want to get involved in a fan war, in view of what happened ten years back.
4/ They think it's great to be depicted in pornographic poses with their fellow actors.
Some of these reasons are of course more plausible than others. I do wonder, myself, if nobody _has_ asked their opinion, what the reason for this might be....
