imo celebrating that the writer was forced to write an ending he didnt want is quite horrible...
The common thread I've seen between Romance and Battle Manga is the fanbases are 100% willing to put their own crappy agendas over the characters' and author's desires. Sometimes, authors NEED to be stopped, obviously (Domestic Girlfriend intensifies), but, everyone acting like the editor was right in stopping the author's vision here is a cad.
God forbid you meet someone when they're a teenager, and they fall in love with you and get with you later.
The funniest thing about the bitchy rich mother in this series is that those are the only people that get away with creepy age gaps: shitty rich people. If it's a hardworking office dude, who falls in love with someone he helped without taking advantage of whatsoever who is younger than him, concern trolls, who will always look the other way IRL, come out of the woodwork like termites.
Growing up, I was often watched by our neighbors who we called "Aunt and Uncle". They loved each other dearly, and he was about 2 decades older than her. Dude served in WW2 (on the good side), and the gooners on Mangadex/other forums will tell you it's a gross relationship, when the dude was the most stalwart person I've met in my life, and good to everyone. He made me a Scooby Doo toy for my birthday once, lol, super chill guy.
Consensual/loving age gap relationships are normal, read history instead of reeeeeeing if you disagree. Going after young people is gross. God forbid geezers could learn the damn difference. Biggest reason I stopped desiring to be a writer is because editors/publishers have no respect for art and pretend to care about ethics like gigantic hoes.
TLDR: I wish these gooners would take their fake ethics out of manga, because they've fucked up real life enough, OI
