Isn't that the setup behind a metric fuckton of slash pairings, though? Hey, they're besties, they can't just be besties though, they need to be romantically involved too! I only see the friend defense used for het ships.

[intrigueing.livejournal.com]

Well, the difference is that in media, it's damn hard to find a close relationship between a male and female character that doesn't turn romantic. On the flip side, it's damn hard to find a close relationship between two characters of the same sex that does. The prevailing assumption is that if a male and female have any affection towards each other, they need to be romantically involved. Male/male or female/female relationships not only don't have that kind of assumption, the very idea that such a friendship could turn romantic is fanatically suppressed and erased. Slash fanfic is one of the few places where the idea isn't suppressed.

Yeah if your slash pairing is based on nothing but "hey they're bffs" it's probably not a very compelling one, but that's just not comparable in any way to the same thing happening in het pairings.
