I disagree... in all of my fandoms I've always seen "subtext" used to refer to stuff that was very clearly intentional on the part of the writers.

Like, in one of my fandoms there are some really intense shippy vibes between the MC and his male best friend but that's more a result of the author not knowing how to write romance so the canon romance was totally lacking in chemistry and as a result the friendship between the MC and his best friend had stronger chemistry than the actual canon romance. Is this subtext? No, because it wasn't intentional, and we all agreed on that front. The shippy vibes absolutely existed but they were clearly not what the author intended, so we didn't call them "subtext" because they weren't. They were just "this author sucks at writing ships."
