On the flip side, you get people who'll argue that making a couple romantic/sexual will "ruin" or degrade" the friendship. This is especially troubling when the friends/potential couple are same-sex--the idea that a same sex pairing is "degrading" is... problematic.

This, totally. But as soon as you say it, you're accused of NOT UNDERSTANDING FRIENDSHIP and GETTING YOUR ICKY ICKY SEX AND LUST ALL OVER EVERYTHING, YOU IMPURE THING. Drives me nuts. If someone wants friendship to "become a thing" -- write it. Find friends who write it. It may or may not take off, but it just might. Then everyone could be happy, and people wouldn't be insinuating that gayness is somehow less beautiful than ~*~***~*perfect friendship~*~***~**~*~*~

....Yeah, I might have some feelings about this.

I'm the anon who made the point above about friendship, and I don't think that you can't have a relationship that isn't also a good friendship. I was talking about canon. The fans can ship what they like and write what they like. I just feel it undermines the friendship in canon when fans insist that every hug or touch means they must be shagging.

I'm totally with you on this one. I'm in gaming fandom, which is full of dudebros. Some of the characters have even been stated as gay in one game series, but they're still like, "THEY'RE NOT GAAAAAAAAAY. STOP READING GAYNESS INTO THIS!!!!"
