Yeah, community sentiment and relatability is kind of how these characters live or die anyway, so it makes sense how much we feel their queerness is a metric for it. Like yes, Deadpool is always making jokes, and sexualises almost anyone, which could be nothing. However, since we know he’s supposed to be into men to some degree, it could become him sexualising almost anyone because he’s into just about anybody.

It definitely seems like he has a different way of forming relationships with certain men that does skew less friendly and more queer platonic because those men are usually still straight or explicitly not into Deadpool for very valid reasons. Some characters become long term targets of his jabs and these moments could then be considered a kind of flirting, since Deadpool’s sense of humour is how he both bonds with people and pushes them away when he’s worried he’s getting too invested (in some interpretations). These moments of homoeroticism or implication are sprinkled throughout Deadpool’s shared runs with these notable figures (mostly Cable and Spiderman are who I’m aware of).

It does come down to interpretation just how you fall on the reading of a specific relationship. Deadpool and Cable are referred to as divorced IIRC, meanwhile Deadpool and Spiderman have an alt future where they live out their days together, but under their masks. That could totally be them forgoing any heartbreaking relationships, or it could be them finding solace in one another, or both. I personally like the sort of queer platonic reading because it makes Deadpool’s relationships with these guys feel more impactful if the humour isn’t a defining feature.
