Er, because I pressed enter too early, what I mean is, I always thought 'queer platonic' was for asexuals in a committed relationship that read as queer to everyone around them, but didn't involve sex or romance. Just intense commitment in a way that most people would view as a marriage equivalent, rather than a "best friends forever" thing.

See, that would actually make sense.

Yeah, I didn't realize there was so much WANK about the damn word.

That's how I'd heard it used before, which makes perfect sense.

But it doesn't surprise me that someone on Tumblr heard it and decided it would be perfect to apply to their two favorite White Dudes Who Are Totally Not Fucking.* (Though I wonder if, rather than being SJWs applying the label, it's someone trying to avoid getting dogpiled by them for homophobia because they like two guys as friends and not lovers?)

*A fannish generation ago, this would have been called "smarm" and it would have been Jim and Blair doing the Totally Not Fucking.

Yeah, I'm pretty much totally unfamiliar with the fandom version. Like I said, the one story series I saw with it involved Frankenstein and Igor being ace-married and having/raising a kid together. Obviously, it still read as gay to everyone around them, and could get complicated; a lot of the serial involved them figuring out just what the relationship and the other person meant to them, and how.

And I admit, I find that WAY more interesting and less annoying than 'bromance.' I kinda hate bromance because far as I can tell, a lot of it is, "Trololol, we're totally not gay, but we're going to make jokes about how gay we are/n't because we're having emotions around each other! Aren't we EDGY?"

Like, I'm totally fine with people having very close relationships, but the nudge-nudge-wink-wink smirk of it just puts a bad taste in my mouth. If I want a close male friendship, I want it to be earnest.
