I'm just sick of how some fans always have to make everything sexual
This. A thousand times this. Personally, I believe romance to be way too overvalued. Nowadays you cannot literally have any meaningful relationship (and this counts for heterosexual and homosexual *both*) without people hijacking it to turn it into a love story. Every meaningful relationship HAS to be a romance, hasn't it? I mean, it's not human beings can form strong and lasting relationships even without these being romantic. It devalues friendship and loyalty way too much to my taste. Also, it's hypocritical as fuck, because people blab until they're blue in the face about the fact that if a woman is kind to a man it doesn't mean that she has romantic interest and that man should be more gentle and get rid of toxic masculinity amd that people can be happy alonewith their friends, but then the split moment two characters of the same gender (generally male) are close you better believe that they are a couple or you are an homophobe? Wtf. I don't ship or straightforward dislike many of *canon* heterosexual couple, I guess I am an heterophobe then, somehow. Jokes aside, the shipping mentality is fucked. This is why, as a base, I don't ship.
