RE: "Aren't Sam and Max also canon?"
I've reflected on this myself yesterday, and I have to say no. The Sam and Max universe is a zany cartoon where absurdist humor takes precedence over the laws of physics. The fact that they've been married, have adopted a kid together, et al. doesn't carry much as much weight as it does for Venom, because, like. Max was once elected President of the United States and sold the country to Canada to solve an adventure game puzzle.
Sometimes things just happen because they're funny.
Sam and Max have plenty of gags and innuendo, and it's certainly canon that Max doesn't even like girls, but they are no more a "canon couple" than, like, Bugs and Daffy.

Awkward Announcement.
Alright there's technically still two days on the poll, but someone in the notes of it is citing sources, I think I've seen enough to make a ruling in the regard.
Eddie Brock and the Venom Symbiote are hereby disqualified on the grounds of actually being gay, and their victory null and void. I'm sorry that this was only caught so late in the proceedings, but we do have rules around here. Having an explicit, no-jokes romantic and sexual relationship is just against the spirit of the competition.
So, here's how this is gonna go. I'm going to make a poll of the first three Venom went against: Arthur and Merlin, Jessie and James, and Sam and Max. And whoever wins that will go against Junkrat and Roadhog, and Stanley and the Narrator in another three-way.
These polls will each last three days instead of a week because I sure as heck didn't budget time for this. And the exhibition matches with Venom in them, I suppose I'll keep them up, just because it would seem mean to just tear it down.
Emergency Recount Poll
I'm seeing some frightening allegations in the notes, so I wanted to reach out and get a consensus.
Is "SymBrock" canon?
Yes, it is
No, it is not

Congratulations!
It was a close match in both divisions, a valiant fight from all competitors, but this year's paragons of ephemeral queerness are
Xena & Gabrielle and Eddie & his Symbiote!
This year had far fewer hiccups despite the larger roster, and I'm happy with how it turned out. SO happy, that I'm gonna run a few more polls just for fun tomorrow~
"isnt the symbiote genderless/sexless?"
Jessie and James were in the running earlier. Expand your mind.

WOMEN'S FINALS
Gabriella and Xena, of Xena: Warrior Princess
Widely agreed that if S&P at the time of broadcast were different, they would have just been canon
One sees in the other something to protect, the other sees the other as someone worthy of redemption
One time Gabrielle was cursed and only true love's kiss could awaken her and Xena was the one who did it
They kissed other times as well and say they love each other so frequently that them not saying it was a signal that something had befallen Aphrodite
Just look at them up there
VERSUS
Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi, of PMMM
Cited as THE media which led the the linguistic drift of yuri's definition from "explicit lesbian media, usually porn" to "media centrally featuring intense, resonant relationship between girls"
One sees in the other something to protect, the other sees the other as someone worthy of redemption
Rewrote the laws of existence multiple times and enacted a very clear allegory of God and Lucifer on cosmic scale until they finally got a peaceful happy ending together
Martyr complexes feeding into each other
Just look at them up there
