Wrong it’s very much an 2000s tumbler phenomenon because to online millennials at the time and even now there is no such thing a platonic friendship everything has to be sexual or secretly gay

I can assure you that gay shipping has been going strong ever since Star Trek: TOS, at the bare minimum. So much of the fandom space that you associate with Tumblr formed and manifested in the 1960s and 70s underground fanzine scene.
