I think what really started people shipping Doctor/Master was season 3. RTD clearly wanted a little homoerotic subtext.
things like...
The Master: Doctor.
The Doctor: Master.
The Master (flirty voice): I like it when you say my name.
later in the convseration...
The Master: Are you asking me out on a date?
I'm perfectly fine keeping it sibling-esque. Or Brotp. It's one of those that I can see it both ways. So rare. I usually love a ship or hate it. But Doctor/Master or Doctor/Missy it's more like if they do it then that's great but if they don't I don't care.

Thank you. Because they were meant to be rival Time Lords above and beyond such concepts as sex and lust and homoerotic subtext. I did not like John Simm playing the Master like that in
The Sound of Drums and think it caused more damage than good. It wouldnt have worked with Roger Delgado or Anthony Ainley who both played the Master in the 1970s and 1980s respectively.
