Look it's obviously getting uncomfortable for some people so let's just move on. And if you want something implied by Kubo! he tends to make it a bit more obvious, yet subtle (ie realism). Xi did an intresting article about Gin and Rangiku's relationship that talks about those sort of things, it's a good read.
