so, to sum it up, as the ayrt's already pointed out (and i quote):

"But for the most part there's very little to go on."

Oh, not gonna argue with that. Of course, one of the primary pairings in Avengers fandom (at least on AO3) is Clint/Coulson, which, dude, they have one interaction in Thor that lasts less than two minutes and that isn't actually about them, it's about Thor not getting the hammer to work. That's it. So, say, Pepper and Natasha's interaction is actually way more...covered.

[brooms]

yes, but Any Two White Guys - http://fanlore.org/wiki/Two_White_Guys - is so common in fandom it's become pretty much accepted without much blinking at this point.

the discussion we're in now started as an analysis of the very, very tiny pocket of femslashers trying to go the same route and being branded as "boring as fuck and think[ing] they're the greatest thing to ever happen to feminism."

In fairness the problem with this is that slashers are a pretty big group and the people who will ship any male characters together aren't necessarily the same people who are criticizing the lack of raw material for femslash pairings.

I know that I've NEVER understood the basis for Coulson/Anyone (haven't watched Agents of Shield) given that he's such a minor character. Nor things like Stony (talking about MCU only though -- I'm aware the comics are different) since they only have one film together and they really, really don't like each other for a large part of that film. Nor do they seem particularly close afterwards.

I will say, though, that I dislike it when people ship things trying to be "progressive." Shipping isn't progressive. You're not racially tolerant because you ship an interracial ship and you're not an LGBT ally or a super-feminist for shipping slash or femslash. Though people really shouldn't single out femslashers for that since it seems like lots of different fans of pairings will do this.
