My hot take on the prevalence of slash ships in TV show fandoms (really my only type of fandom) is that the (platonic) relationship on the show between the two men will be better developed and written than any relationship on the show that any man has with any woman. Because since the show writers aren't adding sex and attraction and tired romantic tropes into the relationship that are practically paint by numbers with most het TV romantic relationships, *they actually have to develop the relationship between these two male characters and show us why they're good together (as friends)*. And once all that is built up and meticulously developed, and the audience sees how they're closer than anyone else on the show, well, it's pretty easy to take that extra step and ship them.

I was just thinking, the biggest ship for X-Files is Mulder/Scully. Even though Krycek is right there. Even on AO3. Because they actually developed the relationship on screen instead of just assuming "A man and a woman were near each other, so they must get together!"

Yup. They’re one of the rare het ships that gets that much solid interplay and their relationship is built on things besides lazy writing tropes.

The same is true for Ted Lasso. Ted/Rebecca is by far the juggernaut, and that's because they did take time in s1 to show their growth and have a lot of meaningful moments that fans latched on to. Of course parts of fandom does enjoy pairing together characters (of any gender combo really) that have little to no screen time together (and nothing wrong with that either), but if they take time to develop the relationship, people often do notice.
