    To quote the sitcom Scrubs " It's guy love, that's all it is. You're mine im yours, he's mine im his. Theres nothing gay about it in our eyes"

    And also I wanted to say thank you for your channel. Your voice goes well with the pulp fiction books, which are full of masculine men doing what they do.
    I especially love the conan series, and hate that they turned an intelligent, cunning, uncorrupted and pure man into the hulking imbecile in the movies with Arnold shwarzhisface. They even had to change the choreography of the swordfights because the guy's muscles kept getting in the way of the sword moves and he couldn't fence properly. And yet in the stories, it was a point when Conan was wrestling that executioner/bodybuilder guy
    Recently started the solomon kane and I really like how despite one being puritan and the other barbarian, there is this strange kinship between the two

    I think the title is misapplied. It should be "eroticising male friendships". Romanticising means something else.

      I hate the way the term romanticism has been twisted and its meaning changed but that's another rant

    Also, that happens with female characters too. One could say it's become even more common.

    I came back just to say that you are not alone. I really thing the gay agenda ruined the friendship between two men. I really love my buddies and I tell them I love you. And that whatsoever doesn't mean I have any sexual interest on them. It's just true raw profound friendship. And the last idea you were talking about is absolutely right. The best moments of masculinity between me and my buddies happened in the midst of difficult situations one of us was living at that time. I could give a lot of examples on why male-male friendships and at jeopardy. And that makes me mad!

    At the end of the day, whether we're talking about man/man, man/woman, or woman/woman, it's just a little weird to contemplate the SEX lives of FICTIONAL characters, beyond what might be written about by said characters' creators or stewards of respective ongoing canons...

      Sex is part of most people's lives like anything else.

    The shippers should have stayed in the realm of fanfiction.

    They romanticize all types of friendship.

    it's because the alphabet people dominate the creative industry, and tumblr crowd who ran to twitter, it creates a feedback loop where they think they've got the finger on the pulse of society, when it's really a small bubble.

    Wertham was convinced Batman and Robin were a couple--then they recently made Tim Drake bisexual, despite the character. never going that direction.

    TL;DR: People find it hot and there's a market for it.
    Just like you basically cannot find a story with a male and a female character that doesn't at some point involve a romance between the two. The people who like it outweigh the ones who don't.

      Not true.

      No, they don't. I can't begin to list the amount of show's, films, comic books, and video games that have been ruined by shippers.

    Here's another to add to the list: David and Jonathan from the Bible.
    I would say that male fraternity has been sexualized in an increasing manner. That any sort of fraternal friendship seen as sexual, whether done purposefully I don't know.

      This is a byproduct of homosexuality, etc, becoming something acceptable rather than contemptible and frightening and worthy of persecution.
      People like to imagine further fictional possibilities for fiction. And since gays aren't being sent to labour camps anymore (in the west at least) people will ship. Ship away! The only thing you could find wrong with it is that it diminishes your hero. But are people diminished for being shown to be gay? No. Let it go, imagine your own thing.

    You even got that with historical figures. Just look at Alexander the Great. No contemporary of his ever said Hephaestion was his lover, but apparently modern audiences see it that way.
