Line 46:
* ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' was famous for having a [[Lesbian Subtext]] involving romantic attraction between Xena, the protagonist, and Gabrielle, the sidekick. But that's why not why this is listed here. In ''Xena'' fandom circles, the word "subtext" was so strongly associated that it is used to refer to ''only'' that particular pairing.
*In ''[[Fresh off the Boat]]'', it's parodied. Jessica and her sister Connie are passive-aggressive towards each other, after spending a lifetime fighting for their mother's favoritism. While they may compliment each other, the subtitles translate each phrase as insults. The opposite happens when they trade insults at the end of the episode introducing this, and the subtitles reveal how much they love each other.
* The incest subtext of ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' is so prominent that it has [[Wizards of Waverly Place/Analysis|its own page here]]. In short, the relationship between brother and sister Justin and Alex Russo was fraught with cues and comments that were unusually flirty or even romantic at times, to the point that [[Portmanteau Couple Name|"Jalex"]] became the number-one [[Shipping]] pair among the show's fans. The show's production team denied this was intentional, and was entirely due to the fandom reading more into the characters than was actually there (no doubt because this was, after all, a [[Disney Channel]] show). Even so, incidents and exchanges reinforcing the perception that the siblings had somewhat more than sibling-like feelings for each other seemed to grow in number and blatancy as the series progressed.
