I'm a sucker for the innuendo and the coyness, but deep down I'm bitter that it's all it will amount to. And this isn't just Sherlock either. I love platonic friendships, but every time there's a "hee hee it's just like they're married, but they're not. it's just guy love between two guys ;)", I feel it just turns homosexuality into a joke. As if the idea of romance somehow cheapens the relationship. Yet if that were the case, why is it so hard to find strong platonic friendships between two characters of different gender.

Oh, I really do hate pulling the "well if one party was female..." card, because I hate the idea of shoehorning romance/flirtation on every female character ever (with or without chemistry), so it's unfair to deny the idea of two males just being close friends. But the chemistry is there, and it's so believable (imo anyways). I'm just tired of it being toyed with, but it never being deliberately okay in canon. It's like this show wants to appear progressive, but never commit to it. It's only ever for kicks and fanservice.

And hell, if Moffat/Gatiss honestly aren't that committed to preserving the canon relationships. Just look at Irene. I don't intend that as if she's a "threat" to a ship, or anything like that, just that if they're willing to be so flexible with character interpretations—

I think I'm just ranting now. I will stop, but man am I THIS'ing your comment quite hard.
