Unintentional Sexual Tension in Fiction

Intentional. David was pretty much want to finger Walter.
Nathan and Peter Petrelli in Heroes. And their actors in real life.

Guts and Griffith
Not sure if unintentional. It always felt to me like Guts was the only thing that Griffith actually loved.
You always know the holidays have arrived when Folgers starts airing A Very Lannister Christmas.
Your not the only one my friend.

The Golden Age Arc is basically a story of how Griffith goes all Nice Guy because Guts spurned his interests, so Griffith goes on a tirade and gets all the Hawks slaughtered because they're all a bunch bitches who led him on.

... Goddamnit, you're not wrong at all.
OMG!
Another Suernatural one that raised a lot of eyebrows even here.

Like, there's no way that's not intentional right? They didn't write that and be like "Yeah, they are such good friends."

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
This is what I was gonna post. It definitely wasn't just you. In fact, it was a common misconception in the show's early days. I believe even the writers quickly became aware of that lingering sentiment. Fortunately it seemed like they were able to course correct a bit as the show went on, and the characters started having more clearly defined parent-child interactions.
Suburgatory.
I remember this one talk show interview with Jane Levy that got awkward real quick when the host assumed her and Jeremy Sisto were playing a couple on the show lol
I mean, you can disagree with the actual author if you want, but I thought she was talking about even the books when she said Harry and Hermione would work better.
I also dislike Ron's character even from the books.

Actually Frieza immediately tries to kill Goku in two different ways.

That just makes Frieza Yandere, the best type of dere.
Suburgatory.
Not only you.
This is what happens when you cast a hot, still relatively young guy as the dad whilst the daughter is also looking hot and mature as well despite being cast as a high school girl.
I mean, look at that picture. It looks like a college girl and her hot university Professor having BBQ together.
Obvs intentional. Chris/Pier, Helena/Leon/Ada, Jake/Sherry, and so on.
Google says you will be very much in luck. Can't wait to see my ads now.

Well, in some countries/cultures, there's less social stigma to cousins fancying each other.
Frieza has been undressing every character with his eyes.
I feel like that was intentional.
Also you...you guys are weird. Y'all need either a lot more or a lot less...something. The amount of incestuous shipping here is disconcerting.

Only in the imaginations of a corner of the internet that likes penning fanfic.
This is correct.
Er... it was completely intentional. It's an entire plot point of the movie.

That completely ruins the gag and it's unfunny.

In the books, Harry/Hermione doesn't really make sense. I think JKR did a good job making their relationship feel purely like a brother/sister one. I'm not sure why she made those later comments because they don't make sense at all with how Harry/Hermione were written. (edit: Adding on to your point, whenever Harry and Ron were upset with one another, Harry was clearly distressed, unhappy, and bored with Hermione being his sole friend. The one time it was Hermione with whom he was unhappy with, he seems unaffected. I'm pretty sure a point is even made by Hagrid at how disappointed he is by how little Harry cares that he abandoned her)
In the movie...maybe not. Daniel Radcliffe/Emma Watson just had great chemistry. Plus Emma Watson ended up being by far the most attractive one of the kids whereas I'm pretty sure Hermione wasn't supposed to be in the books, and it seemed strange that Harry had this super attractive friend he got along with super well...but there wasn't even a hint of either of them feeling something more.
(But I do think part of it was intentional because I remember when I was watching the livestream of the final film's premiere, the hosts were like "ALL THE ANSWERS WILL FINALLY BE ANSWERED! WHO LIVES? WHO DIES? WHO WILL WIN? DOES HERMIONE GET TOGETHER WITH HARRY OR RON?")
But they obviously weren't going to ditch the super popular Ron/Hermione. So I wish they went with Harry/Luna instead, just for the films. The Harry/Luna scenes in the fifth movie were some of the few good scenes in that film. They had better chemistry than Harry/Ginny did in all 8 movies. I remember even my friends, who only watched the films, said after the 5th movie that they thought the movie was hinting at the two of them getting together in the next films.

Didn't she call her GF in S2 lol
doug funnie and roger klotz in doug. roger really gives doug a lot of attention in the first two seasons. then he goes for the next best thing in trying to date judy, strikes out, and basically vanishes from the bully role for the rest of the series. after that, doug basically stops paying attention to shit roger says too and pays a lot more attention to patti.

That's not unintentional at all. Killua loves Gon but Gon is too much of an asexual Shonen protagonist to reciprocate.
Pretty sure every sexual tension in the bakemonogatari series is intentional

"best friend"
Yes, your typical shounen characters never fail at conveying this.
It would be more accurate to ask if he has a cousin
Sansa / Jon thing....i don't see it.
Do you have a sister?
There's nothing "I'm pretty sure" about it. Debra wanted to fuck Dexter, was falling in love with him, and came back to the crime scene to tell him that lol.
Edit: dammit, sorry guys.

Literally anyone would be a more interesting choice than Ginny. She is a nothing character.
Luna, Cho, Pavarti, anyone would be better.
By the Fourth book Rowling had already decided which way she was going to go, so taking anything past that as evidence is silly. If anything you want to be looking at the first three books, where it could have gone either way.
Book four is very clear about Ron and Hermione liking each other but being too immature/afraid to do anything about it. Before that, not so much.

My issue with the Ron and Hermonie pairing is that, like Han and Leia, that relationship would not work.
They constantly get into fights and shouting matches together in the books and enter periods of not speaking to one another. Their personalities clash.

This is at least partially intentional because another character (Black Widow?) quips about them kissing before the credits roll.I'd say Cap and Iron Man
So even if it was for a dumb joke I don't think it counts.
Holy shit. The way she's looking at him... pure lust.
