The Pokémon fandom certainly had people insisting there was a real possibility of Ash/Gay happening because "well Sailor Moon did it". I really don't want to be insistent on anime shipping since, because I've mostly been in smaller fandoms where ship wars weren't really a thing.

Today I have learned that people shipped Ash/Gary, and I can understand people getting their hopes up if one series does it, and at least with modern media(mostly books and TV shows) there are more canon gay-couples so I see where people are getting their ideas from. But to me at least that still doesn't indicate that it'll happen on your Thing because it was in another.

And in all honesty when it comes to non-canon LGBT ships being made canon that's still pretty rare, most of the time canon LGBT is constructed in a way that makes it 100% obvious it's going to happen, like pretty much every canon het ship.

Cast and writer queerbaiting on the publicity circuit doesn't help here. I'll buy that were getting openly lgbtq rep from Disney when it's on the screen in my city.

I've seen that happen I'll give you that, but I've also seen shipper-bases work themselves up into a 'it's gonna happen' tizzy all on their own based on nothing but 'media has more LGBT couples these days' and then acting betrayed when it doesn't happen despite never being promised anything.

Like I said: I understand why shipper-bases get hopeful, and if they're egged on by the showrunners/cast with no intent of follow-through then that is shitty and wrong.

Agreed.
