I find it nearly incredible in this day and age that the producers actually seem to hold *contempt* for those who would consider a romantic relationship between A and M a possibility and want to explore that, - and moreover that he feels the need to air that contempt in public. It's like a throwback to the homophobia of the Dark Ages, with the added flavour of hypocricy: However much he protests otherwise, there is no way the B/C quests and certain elements of the show are not in fact in there deliberately to please or placate slashers.
Mr Murphy is medieval period appropriate in his outlook if nothing much else on his show is. And don't get me started on the way he speaks of the show's women. Ugh.
