Hey there, Anon from above. Agreement on all fronts of your post, the last paragraph in particular. It's like a relationship, for whatever a person wants to call or consider themselves, isn't valid unless it's deemed romantic? Though what sucks at times is when the friendship between two characters isn't taken all that seriously either, the whole, "They're not that close. The character is only doing it for this reason."

Which I say, bullshit.

Oh man, yeah, that bugs me too. And also, when two people have a very new friendship or have just barely met, and one of them shows the other one kindness and does something nice for them. And then the shippers say they were nice because they were attracted to or fell in loooooove with the other person at first sight. Because apparently being a decent human being or liking someone isn't a good enough reason.

*cough* points to icon *cough*

AYRT yes exactly. Sometimes I think that some fans forget how much they love close friends or siblings IRL. It might be possible that they don't love any friends, but more likely that they just blank it out when they watch their favourite shows. It's also cultural, British and European men are much more huggy and touchy with each other than American men or men from Australia and New Zealand say (I've lived in some of those places, mostly Australia and Britain, but enough time in the others to have an opinion...) but they can be homophobic, it's very much just a friendship thing. In a lot of Western Europe and parts of Britain both men and women greet each other with kisses and I've talked to Australians and New Zealanders who when they first came to Britain kept thinking people were in love with them!

I don't mind people shipping these characters, but to believe it's actually there in canon when it simply isn't, can be very undermining of the actual canon relationship.
