YOI is so full of fanservice that there's no room for doubting its audience, and the "romantic" parts of Victor and Yuuri's relationship has A LOT of moments that are directly afterwards treated with some sort of "lol jk not in a GAY WAY"

Not ayrt but... what? Seriously, what? Every single intimate moment between Yuri and Victor is treated seriously. The only sort-of exceptions I can think of is once before Yuri's Eros dance he grabs Victor to make a show of seducing him to "intimidate the crowds" before they intimidate him.. but that's not really a joke, more an implication that he's firing himself up. Otherwise, Phichit saying congratulations for getting married... which IS a misunderstanding, because they didn't get married. Victor spins it into an engagement line, which might not be serious so much as a challenge but it also is not comedic at all.

There was nothing "lol not gay!" about the kiss, or Yuri dedicating all of his Eros skates to seducing Victor, or the exchanging of rings, or Victor and Yuri running to embrace in the airport, or the "break up", or the pair exhibition skate. The pair were very seriously written as romantic, if "between the lines" to some extent - the whole show centered around this. It doesn't really matter who it was written for, when it's not just random hot homoeroticism here and there between the het for the sake of selling merch to fangirls. The relationship is done seriously, period.
