I totally agree with your second paragraph. But I don't think I've ever had a queer pairing that I was 99% sure was being blocked from becoming explicit canon despite the creator's wishes.

I do believe that there are legitimate instances of this, I just haven't happened to be into any of those fandoms personally. And NGL, my slash goggles are frequently on too tight, so my default mode is basically to assume a ship isn't in the canonical cards until basically everybody else and their grandfather is going, "So these two are down bad for each other and no mistaking it."

I have, but not recently. I would not be surprised if it still happens, especially with fucking Disney owning everything.

Actually happened a lot in children's cartoon shows! In Gravity falls the creator wanted to introduce a gay couple and Disney was very much against it and blocked as much as they could. Cartoon network made queer representation for Steven Universe and Adventure Time about it as easy as pulling teeth, while both shows got criticized for not doing enough for not trying harder with said representation.

Was just about to say this. I remember in Adventure Time that the creator flat-out said that they weren't able to show more about Bubblegum and Marceline's past relationship because they weren't allowed to.
