Being conservative isn't a free pass from having to explain the logical underpinnings of your beliefs, contrary to what most American newscasters would tell you.

No, but it is shorthand for the reader to understand that a character is not sympathetic.

That's the worst part -- I think Mei is supposed to be sympathetic, if you consider Fushimi-sensei's taste in characters. We're supposed to at least partially empathize with her feelings for Chiaki and wrinkle our nose about what a "pervert" Chiaki is. We're supposed to think of her conservative mindset as a quirk, not an explanation for why she's a piece of shit. (Which she is, btw)

I would love to be eventually proven wrong about this, by the way. I really would. But I wouldn't put money on it.

Death of the Author is the birth of the reader.
I don't give a shit what the author intended, I feel no sympathy to mei. She is a creepy, possessive, manipulative, bigoted asshole.

100% agreed on all counts, no notes. I wound up despising her in the end.
