Blehhhh.

I think there's a broader point to be made here about coding, intentionality, and textual interpretation but I'm not sure I have enough energy to go into the whole thing. But I'm definitely really, really deeply skeptical about the idea that there's "an unconscious prejudice about the impossibility of deep platonic male bonds without romance/sex being involved". Honestly seems like kind of a shitty thing to say. And I don't think - regardless of the intentions of the authors - people who interpret it as romantic/sexual are reading the book incorrectly. It's a valid interpretation.

I agree, Anon. We have platonic m/m relationships out the wazoo in tv, movies, and literature - maybe some of us are just tired of that.
