I'd really like to know how, exactly, FMA qualifies as shoujo. Seriously. Girls watch shounen (you have heard about the Gundam Wing fandom, right?), and women write shounen, and this does not stop it from being a genre that is targetet at male readers. And you know, I tend to think that the slashy pictures of Roy and Ed (the one where Roy has glasses and a hand on Ed's shoulder is much, much worse than the one in which they have Valentines gifts for the girls) counted about as much as the two tons of official artwork of the two of them with Winry and Hawkeye that would make anybody not familiar with the series believe it was a kooky romantic comedy.

Subtext is part of the text: it is intentional. That some readers read more into it than Rowling intended does not make Harry/Hermione any more canon, and the fact that shounen series usually has a lot of significant development between male characters? Does not make it romantic subtext.

I'd really like to know why the intended audience for a show matters in fandom and fanfic, which flaunts the canon anyway by being fan-made.

I was talking about shipping based on canon arguments, not fanfic, but if you really need it spelled out: because of the difference between a Fai/Kurogane fan claiming that the author meant for the tension to be interpret as sexual/romantic, and a Naruto/Sasuke fan doing the same. Clamp are infamous for the inclusion of m/m pairings and heavy homoerotic subtext - Kishimoto has made a nod to that fanbase, and then satirized it mildly.
