There is no problem with people having their fantasy's, there is however an enormous problem when people reported their fantasy as fact, when people will be aggressive towards the friends and partners of their fantasy. Both Angel and Georgia King have been vilified in fandom for "being in the way" of the preferred ship in a very ugly and demeaning way. There is also a problem when some people cannot distinguish between fantasy and reality. Both Colin and Bradley HAVE addressed it, they have said they're mates, that any homoerotic tensions on screen are perceived, they haven't played it that way at all (yes, that's all very debatable, and yes, some of it is the intentions of the show-runners for sure) but still this is their reactions. They have worked together, gone to functions together (Bradley went to Colin's play), but that's been about it. If they speak up about it, Fans will surely rubbish them for doing so.
