I mean, plenty of male/male deep platonic relationships still exist in fiction, it just usually includes some sort of variation of thinking of each other as brothers. On the other hand I’m trying to think of an emotionally close, deep, and completely platonic m/f relationship in media and nothing is coming to mind. So I think it’s worse with m/f than m/m (though I agree when media doesn’t throw the brother word out there people are way more likely to see m/m as sexual, and on the other other hand people tend to see f/f as only platonic waaaay more often)

It's more of an adoptive father/daughter thing but Gerald and Cirilla in The Witcher games are completely platonic unrelated.

Adoptive Father/Daughter relationships are common in media. It's not the same as friendships.

ichigo+rukia from bleach maybe? they def had a very close bond in any case. otherwise yeah, deep, close, or even profound m/f bonds in media simply don't exist or always, always become romantic and even when the showrunners stare that it will never happen: 9/10 it does.

m/m and f/f just have the opposite problem where they will never be considered for a romantic relationship bc 'they're just friends you silly!'.

but i will say there are more canon m/m and f/f ships being put into media these days, more in TV or games than movies i'll grant, movies still have a way to go imo. but whether those ships will have the 'deep and profound connection' that some fans want is another matter entirely.

Re: Ichigo/rukia uuuhhhhh you never saw the musicals did you? Cause they went hard for that ship. Even wrote Orihime out after the first one. Multiple pining ballads. Definitely wasn’t written as platonic there even if it never became explicitly romantic, and IIRC kubo was strongly involved so he approved.

i've never seen the musicals, only read the manga and in that they were close friends and stayed close friends after everything without a lick of romance between them.

huh, i was always under the impression that kubo hated i/r or at least hated the shippers because from what i read he never had any intention of putting them together and orihime was always meant to be his love-interest?

i don't actually know i'm just going by translations of stuff from years back, and i don't have a horse in the race, i was just citing a m/f friendship couple that never became romantic in it's canon but was emotionally deep and close.

Yuri and Estelle from Tales of Vesperia. The voice actors themselves have gone on record saying they played it as a sibling-esque relationship with nothing romantic there.
