Stop, plz!
Yes, this is going to be a What-Were-You-Thinking-When-You-Wrote-This post.
Dear old RAS, with his innocent American family, may write things like "Entreri wanted Drizzt Do'Urden." Without clarifying that he actually means, hem-hem, battle. Or Artemis' flirtatious: "Must I be punished?", or the constant use of the word "desire".
Cute, pure-minded Salvatore. *snickers*
But srsly. Anime? Manga? The original author may even place hints on purpose, to attract rabid yaoi-fangirls who'll buy the comics and the DVDs and the merchandise.After all, a centimeter of paper less not-separating, for instance, Byakuya and Renji, is going to inspire Ficcage - and fanfics are free advertising.
But scanlators do their job for free. I can understand that a fansubber/scanlator may also be a yaoi fangirl or fanboy. And English is practically inviting double-meanings.

Death Note. Light, aka Kira, thinking:
THAT'S FINE, NEAR; IF YOU WANT TO COME OUT, I'LL COME OUT TOO.
AND WHEN WE SETTLE THIS MATTER, WE WILL SEE WHO'S MORE PREPARED AND WHO'S ON TOP...
Now, L I could understand. But... Near? That cheap replacement, that little piece of *GRAH*...
And on this page, the pairing Light/Near was spawned. -_- Thanks, Scanlator-Translator. You should have known better dammit.
Yuck.
