Err… whoa, let me stop you right there. :p

Like, I’m cool with it if you don’t ship or don’t like the ship for whatever reason, but this is really taken out of the context, big time. It’s Yuuri’s childhood room that’s covered in Victor’s posters. When Yuuri returns to his home town, the first thing that he explicitly states is that he hasn’t been there in five years; he literally apologizes for staying away that long to his family.

He hasn’t used that room in over five years, meaning that he left for college/competitive skating when he turned 18. This was the room of Yuuri the teenager, and naturally he had an idol when he was not yet an adult, someone to look up to ever since he discovered that he was into figure skating, and of course he admired someone who was considered the very best at the thing that Yuuri enjoyed doing (and on top of that this idol was rather close to his own age, thus easy to relate to).

He admired Victor as a skater and artist when he was young, probably thinking that his dream of ever meeting Victor or ever skating on Victor’s level was just that; a dream. He’s never been shown to be a creepy or stalker-y fan; Victor was merely an inspiration to Yuuri, someone he’d love to compare to someday, to be just as skilled as this guy was. (Hell, Yuuri even backs out when Victor offers him a picture when they are in the same room for the first time; he’s not some crazy obsessed weirdo to jump on the first opportunity to touch or harass his childhood idol.)

And Yuuri isn’t an idiot, because yes, when Victor shows up at his house he needs some time to adjust to that guy that he’s looked up to his entire life because said guy is a skating legend and very attractive, but we also see that he soon learns to separate the two; Victor the skating legend that he idolizes, and Victor the human.

Because he knows Victor the public figure, but Victor the person, he has to get to know that person. Which is why he is very reserved at first, because he understands this. He knows the difference between ‘fiction’ and ‘reality’. They have to get to know each other as actual people if they want to get into any relationship (even a friendly one), and now that this is a real possibility, Yuuri embraces that and lets him in.  

Even if you want to include the banquet scene: Yuuri was never the creepy fan. He’s very drunk, yes. But he’s outgoing and getting close to ALL his fellow skaters at that point, he’s not just going after Victor. (Pole dancing with Chris in his underwear, the crazy dance off with Yurio, etc).

And then eventually, this is what we see after that chat that Yuuri has with Victor on the beach; ‘he meets me where I am’, this is the point where Yuuri first learns how to separate the two.

This shit happens before Victor first kisses him, and Yuuri doesn’t care at all anymore about the affection, he gets it now, this is Victor his coach and his friend, not Victor the legend:

Same as this: Yuuri does no longer give a shit about personal space or sharing a bed (the only thing he cares about is that someone set the alarm so that he doesn’t miss his performance), because this is Victor after Yuuri got to know him; his friend and the person that takes care of him. 

There’s nothing creepy about their relationship even with Victor being Yuuri’s childhood idol, because they took the time to form a normal friendship that goes both ways, and there’s equal attraction from both sides whenever they’re together. 

Like seriously, I’m not forcing you to ship it, but it’s probably the most least-creepy fictional relationship out there at the moment imo. :p
