The classic love triangle was with Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere, where both guys wanted the girl but were also best friends. Does that not qualify?

Ah, a triangle with a platonic base.

Great joke man! The unrelated Greek term plausibly masquarading as another geometical term, brilliant!

Unrelated Greek word? Platonic here refers to the nature of Arthur and Lancelot's relationship. It's a platonic relationship, rather than romantic or sexual one.

Unrelated to triangles, I mean, sorry! Of course it's very topical.
