I threw out the lesbian couple because I usually see some very vocal slashers claim they're doing it for "representation" reasons, which...literally every time I see this it's literally about two pretty white dudes touching one another. Also, "dynamics" mean literally zero in a canon like this. We would have no idea these characters were even lesbians if RGB hadn't been written as saying "and her wife", the characters are literally a pair of ballet slippers with a knife head and some cobbled together instruments. These are about as de-sexed as you can get, as are many of this universe's characters. (RGB himself is only vaguely man shaped, he's got an invisible body and has a TV for a head and the only reason we can tell he's man shaped is because of his clothes. It's pretty much shown that he's not really truly human in any sense of the word though.)

I wanted to make clear that despite not being about romance this series already has diverse, interesting characters (recently there has been a genderfluid character introduced that has quite an interesting dynamic with RGB as well), there's no need to make up Random Whitecock Prismhead Man.

Most fandoms with shipping at least don't need to literally make up a fan character to get their slash kicks. I feel like that's being deliberately obtuse, because you know there's a big difference between bromantic buddies and something like this. Shipping doesn't come out of thin air--usually. Shows have two male characters who are close, buddies, or have something intense about their relationship that draws shippers in.

This series? No. Not at all. It's not the kind of series one gets into if they're in the need for some dick on dick, it's very much a gen story that deals with complex themes and symbolism set to a backdrop of some almost Dahli-esque dreamscapes.

After the Onceler fandom, nothing surprises me
lb_lee: The Blue Beetle, Ted Kord, doubled over laughing. (bwa-hah-ha)

So glad someone mentioned Onceler, because that's what I was thinking of.
