Maybe I'm beating a dead horse here, but I feel like having a discussion about it, so oh well.

I really don't like the whole idea that people who ship best friends don't have one/don't understand friendships/etc. I know you've acknowledged that you worded it poorly, but I see this concept come up pretty regularly, and it bugs me. Like, I have friends of both genders that I adore, I have a wonderful relationship with my older brother, and I have a best friend who I love with all my heart and would do anything for, but I don't feel romantically towards any of them. So I get the concept of close, non-romantic relationships. But I also frequently ship the hell out of best friends, probably because I love the trust and camaraderie inherent in those relationships. Of course, I've also been in love with and had crushes on friends, so I get how that works, too. I just don't understand how adding romance to a relationship cheapens the friendship there. It could also break them up or cause tension, I suppose, but I would think that if anything it would just make for a stronger bond a lot of the time.

tl;dr, not everyone who sees romance between friends is a loner who has no meaningful relationships, I guess. :P
