At a guess, I'm thinking she's talking about a denial of "subtext." Of course even disliking the word I know two people can see it and interpret it differently. ;)
Heh, I hadn't heard the term either, but I like it. While I've gone to the slash side some, I still like the idea of there being relationships like they're talking about. It's just having gone to the slash side some I did snicker at they're mentioning Starsky and Hutch as a straight pair. I've got a friend who loves slashing those two.
I have a friend who's a huge S/H fan. I barely remember the show from when I was a kid. I preferred MacMillan and Wife and McCloud. I thought Dennis Weaver was cute even when I was seven [g]
As for friendships, I'm a big fan. I don't think friendship gets enough respect in our culture anymore. It's nice to see I'm not the only one out there.

With apologies for potentially making you feel old, I was four the last year Starsky and Hutch ran. My knowledge of it is almost entirely secondhand from contact with the fandom on the web. x_x

Amen sister! While I've spent time on the slash side some slash still really bothers me because I think making the characters in the relationship gay or bi is bad characterization of the characters individually, and bad characterization of the relationship.
From the article: On House, Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard play longtime friends who know just which buttons to push to get a rise out of each other.

Well, yes, that's what I'm saying. *snerk*
