See, I like subtext when it's NOT accompanied by the text screaming THEY'RE NOT GAY!!!! at the audience. XD Basically I can deal with it when it's just trying to obscure a relationship, period instead of just gay ones. For example, Simon/Jeanette from Alvin and the Chipmunks. If I remember correctly the show never comes out and says they're boyfriend and girlfriend, but they're always paired up and have a lot of cute moments together. (...actually maybe I'm thinking more of shiptease than subtext. XD;)
But yeah. This is why in my stories, all couples get equal amount of blatant squishy sappy moments and sex scenes. Media needs to get over itself or conquer its fear of moral guardians' temper tantrums. Just...let people be gay and be together in a show with straight couples and let them have equal amounts of screen time and affection. If the show runs on YAAAAAY WE LOVE EACH OTHER SOOOO MUUUUCH happy romantic fluffies, let the lesbians make loud proclamations of eternal foreverness, too! If the straight couple is shown having hot sexytimes, let the gay couple give each other blowjobs! And all that good stuff!
