LOL at all the defensive shippers in this thread. I agree with you, OP. It didn't seem any more gay than a lot of popular old school slash ships. You could read just as much gay subtext in, say, Smallville's Clark and Lex, and that wasn't actually intended to be a gay relationship, despite how much it seemed that way.

And +1 to your other point. I enjoyed the show a lot, but it wasn't that good either.

LOL at you using the "defensive shippers" excuse when a good number of people in this thread have made sure to clarify that they didn't ship it and could still see how gay it was.

It isn't those people who are getting all het up at the secret, so I'm not laughing at them.

Who... Who is getting mad at this secret?

I am genuinely confused as of who you might referring to. All the comments I see in this thread read like a perfectly calm sharing of opinions?

Lol right?

‘What are they meant to do? Kiss/hug/hold hands/actually say they love one another/touch each other at all without it being part of a ploy?? hOw hIgH aRe yOuR sTaNdArDs???’

As if any of that is expecting ANYTHING unusual or lofty for an actual romance.

Whether or not there's subtext is not related to whether or not you should like the subtext

Nothing you said in this post has any evidence against there being subtext

I don't know, a story explicitly spoofing Christian fundamentalism by having two supernatural beings save the world through a forbidden love (philia explicitly in text) strikes me as significantly closer to queer than The Premise. That's not even touching how every episode involves genderfuck casting and costuming.

SA: The TV production makes it absolutely clear that the Crowley/Aziraphale ship is definitely a thing, and at the conclusion that ship is more important than their prior relationships to Heaven or Hell.

Whether that ship is "gay" or not is open to interpretation and a fuckton of definition wank about whether genderless beings who just happen to be played on the screen by middle-aged men can be gay.

I don't ship A/C and I did ship Clark/Lex, and I still think you're either incredibly oblivious or being deliberately obtuse.

Yeah you clearly haven't been looking through the threads here lately, if you think /these guys/ are being defensive about their paring... Go back a day, maybe two, it you want to see delusional at its best. These guys can actually be call rational, the lack of foaming the their mouths should have been your first clue, believe it or not!
