Is it worth adding the recent VA ship tease for Bleach, or would it just be wanky?

Strictly speaking that's not actually a Ship Tease. That's more, um...Actor Shipping? Heck, I don't know. Throw It In to this YKTTW proposal.

IMHO there's no reason to add it, considering that the voice actors have zero input on the story so it's not actually ship tease.

Many of the trope entries here seem to be confusing this trope with one of the Yay tropes or with a more explicit trope such as UST or actual romantic pairing.

The Smallvile entry included examples of both. The writers have never seriously tried to tease the audience with a possible Lex/Clark pairing. Thats just the readers reading into Clark's compassion and projecting their desires to see two attractive men together. In fact a lot of the Yay on that show could be boiled down to Smallville casting at the high end of attractiveness even for Hollywood. On the other end, Lois and Clark is not now, nor was it ever a tease, especially given that they're the canonical couple of the mythos, but even ignoring that, they actually date. Now Chloe/Clark does count as a tease.

Would someone wise to the ways of TV tropes mind adding some "Girl Genius" examples? There are some really good ones in there...

Transformers examples:

Where are they? There is a claim for shipteasing but no evidence.

Are they talking Springer/Arcee? Bumblebee/Spike? Megatron/Starscream? Beachhead/Random-Tree? What?

Without evidence I think the entry should be deleted.

By unintentional, I bet that they mean Megatron/Starscream. Two examples come to mind: Starscream and Megatron arguing over Nightbird which leads to this: "She's not so hot." She's hot enough to replace you whenever I choose." And that one episode where Starscream sort of "glomped" Megatron ("A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court".)

But considering how they fall more into the line of ho yay, I agree that should be removed.

Compare this to the more subtle and most likely unintentional Ship-Teasing in the original Ben 10 between cousins Ben and Gwen such as flirtatious bickering, hugging, glomping, Gwen teaching Ben how to slow dance and the many Aw Look They Really Do Love Each Other moments. Hell, even Alien Force manages to sneak a few in with Gwen playfully touching Ben's chest and Gwen describing that Ben is more or less the perfect boyfriend. The writers seriously can't be that oblivious to how they are writing these two.
  • The writers did such a terrible job writing Kevin/Gwen and Ben/Julie that even Kevin/Ben gets better Ship Tease than them. Kevin has developed a habit of risking his life for Ben and holding his hand and/or arms when helping him off the ground, their dialog sounds more flirty than friendly, if either one is thrown, there's almost a 95% chance that Kevin will land on top of Ben or Ben will end up in Kevin's lap, neither of which Kevin minds, and then of course there's the bow-tying scene that was such blatant Ship Tease that one could not even refer to it as Sub Text.

Examples Are Not Arguable and a Ship Tease are hints put by the writers. Beyond it, the opinion of the audience about a Ship Tease is not relevant
