Yeah, and we rarely see a man and a woman having a close non-sexual/romantic bond on screen because of the idea that friendship between women and men is ultimately romantic, so that accusation doesn't get levelled at het ships anywhere near as much. Whereas slashers have to settle for close platonic canon relationships most of the time, and are gonna make hay with it - cue accusations that it's "not true to canon"!

Well, maybe if Disney would fucking show lesbians as main characters (or HELL, two non-related, non-strictly-platonic women) in the way they show het main characters getting it on, there'd be less of a need to level accusations at femslashers making hay while the sun shines with what crumbs they've got.

Also, shipping, it does tend to involve two interesting attractive people in close proximity, no matter what the context.

A THOUSAND TIMES THIS.

To encourage shipping, there has to be sexual tension, taboo, anything that could intrigue the audience. With most F/M ships the audience already knows that as soon as the main female character shows up, she'll be handed over to the hero like a prize.

There's no mystery there, no place for creativity. Naturally, slash beats het because the characters we slash are usually not even part of a romantic narrative. Their relationships leave room for questions and speculation.
