Abolish Horny Jail!
I recently saw a video posted on Tumblr by Dimension20 to promote their tabletop streams. In that video, Brendan Lee Mulligan and (I believe) Ally Beardsley joke about not having any inter-character romance, because that would take away opportunities for Tumblr posters to come up with thirsty queer fanart.
