jfc the amount of anger people have over this ship confuses me so much
Maybe my confusing amount of anger comes from how one of the most popular ships in the fandom ships characters in a surrogate father-son relationship
or, ignoring that element, in a teacher-student relationship
or, ignoring that, in a relationship that has so many levels of power imbalance it is impossible for them to function as equals as romantic relationships require
or, ignoring that, has an age gap so large that he can be the other’s father
or, ignoring that, involves one having a direct influence over the other when the latter was a minor
but mostly the fact that they’re basically got a father-son relationship that’s very clear in the original text
