Oh silly. Why ship an actual canon gay character who is out, proud and accepted by his friends - when you can ship two random characters who barely interact and can't stand each other?

(I like lots of random ships, but the one-ship-mind of this fandom bothers me LOTS ...particularly when they start acting like Sterek happening is the great leap forward for the queer community LOLZ).

You raise plenty of good points, and I'm not arguing with most of them. I'm just responding to the "can't stand each other" thing here, even though it's been mentioned several times this thread and elsewhere.

Why do people act like this is a reasonable argument for saying the ship doesn't make sense, when it's possibly the most basic reason it exists in the first place? Have people never seen romcom movies? Watched TV? Read books? Heard stories that have existed for generations? "Based on misunderstanding or prejudice, two characters meet and form an instant dislike for each other. Due to circumstance, they are forced to spend a certain amount of time together, during which they begin to develop a rapport and perhaps even grudging respect or tolerance. Eventually (maybe after some crisis), they realize that...hey, they kind of like each other and want to see each other naked. Happily ever after." As an audience, we've been brainwashed into thinking this is the best, perhaps the only, way to tell a fictional romance, especially if there are comedic undertones (which there most certainly are with Sterek). And it's the kind of story that fanfic authors particularly are drawn to, because it provides a challenge - get the characters from point A to point B.

I'm saying this as someone who half-assedly enjoys the pairing: the question isn't "why ship two characters who can't stand each other?" It's "why wouldn't you?"
