I think... as someone who hapens to love a certain YouTuber who not only is shipped hardcore by his entire fanbase with another YouTuber named Zisteau, but also sails the ship himself, it depends. He supports it. Praises it. Makes little comments that send everyone crazy. He doesn't mind it.
It's important to keep the shippee in mind when you ship. Zisteau and Vechs are adorable. Vechs knows it. Zisteau knows it. The entire fandom of both men knows it. But Vechs is 28 and Zisteau is 35, both straight males and good friends. As long as you don't take it too far, there should be no issue.
So, I would say as soon as they start feeling uncomfortable and explicitly tell you to stop, that's when it's gone too far. People should respect that. And I'm sorry about your English teacher, they're way out of line on this.
