Calling them "homophobic or completely delusional" is going a step too far. I think you are reading too much into what they are trying to say. The existence of a crapton of heteronormative TV doesn't suddenly make it not true that people slash characters that aren't seen by their creators as couples.

If you'd like to attack the sentiment, a better tack would be to point out that 'no they are just friends' is most often said by someone defending a canon friendship from someone who IS homophobic and has mistaken the characters for a couple, and you can go into all the implications and repercussions of that.

...No It isn't. Most of the time it's used by people that think that gay relationships are a taint in the special deep manly friendships. If you need an example you can simply take a look at the moronic answers below.

Except no one is saying they're couples. That's the point! The creators evidently are using homoeroticism as a way to grab attention but then avoiding following suit with it because they don't wanna show icky gay men on TV. That is homophobic behavior and it does generate a casual homophobic attitude among the viewers, to the point where it's common to think that a show is only okay if it's gay up to a point, if it goes past that it spoils.
