Re: What are your biggest examples of, "If one of you had been a woman, you would have been canon."

[(Anonymous)]

I always figured that was because the creator probably wasn't allowed to come right out and say that it was canon even though it obviously was. That sort of thing isn't at all uncommon with JP media - there's a M/M ship in one of my own fandoms that is very clearly meant to be canon, but canon stops just short of explicitly saying it's a ship because as long as they don't confirm it as such, there's plausible deniability that the characters in question are just very close friends.

I never thought she wasn't allowed to say it, I thought she didn't because she didn't think it was necessary. It's a product of not babying your audience plus the Japanese culture of indirectness. Talking about the characters and saying they xyz "because they're a couple" would sound both condescending and confusing, especially to Japanese audiences, as in "why are you stating the obvious?" Because of course they're a couple. Kubo Mitsurou did say Yuri on Ice was a "love story" among other things when asked to directly describe it.

I'm not sure if she wasn't allowed per se, I think it was a tactic to avoid the show getting labled as a BL anime instead of a sports anime. While Japan has plenty of BL media, it's almost always explicitely categorised as BL and some audiences aren't too thrilled to encounter m/m relationships outside of containment.
