No Yay is not limited to intentional stuff, that's why it's YMMV. The criteria are "there is an implication that sexual tension exists between several characters" and "the sexual tension in question is creepy as it's rapey/paedophilic/abusive/incestuous/otherwise inappropriate".

But why would it include canonical subtext? That's what differs Ho Yay from Homoerotic Subtext or Incest Yay Shipping from Incest Subtext.
