Merlin too gay for US TV?

[euraylie]

So it turns out that the slash fangirls aren't the only ones to discover the treasure trove of Hoyay! (homoeroticsicm,yay!) that is kinda sitting in plain sight on the BBC show Merlin, TV execs have as well

LOL
Really not gay enough yet, but pretty funny that they might think so ;-)
But there really seems to be a lot of awesome subtext! *squee*

Wish the Wincest Fandom had that much subtext....

Hey, we may soon have ;)

I think what TV execs are afraid is not the actual slashiness, but the level of attention the slash gets in the fandom.

I think they get nervous when their new shiny expensive show is known as the "gay show" everywhere.

And what is wrong with that?!? :-D

But I get why they react that way....

"And what is wrong with that?!? :-D"

See that's what I'm saying. And they don't realise that slash fangirls are the best fans a show can have.

We are insanely loyal and spend a fortune on every bit of merchandise we can get our hands on :D
