That would be interesting.

Unfortunately, that will never happen in TV Land because that would mean writers would have to think outside the box. (Pun not intended.) And when you have to write a script in a couple of days every week for thirteen to twenty-two episodes, originality often falls by the wayside to, "I need to finish this in two hours. Screw it. I am going with cliche. Looking for Mr. Right but sleeping with Mr. Wrong."

I don't think it's so much a product of laziness, as it is fear that the audience won't engage into a female character that doesn't have at least some fanservicey aspect, and ship teases / romance are fanservice in themselves.

Plus, it's pretty much expected because dem romancey gurls and their ovaries and their need for babies.
How else is a woman supposed to feel valid with her life choices, if she's not a sexpot or settling down with a family?
Ugh.

*looks around fandom*

Gee, I wonder where they might get an idea like that...

Man, IKR? I've been in fandom for years and people are always complaining they want something other than romance, but at the end of the day they go back to writing shipfic.

No shit. It's kind of hilarious to watch people scream "OMG WHY MUST WOMEN ALWAYS BE TIED TO ROMANCE", and in the next breath engage in a full-on ship-war over who the female lead should wind up with.

Fandom does play a big part in this, yes.

It's annoying in how much it persists, but the creator does know their audience.
