I can't understand why, if the consensus is that Ai was the one doing the grooming, she is the one being shipped with men (she hadn't seen Ichijo face-to-face for a long time, so it's definitely not about better socialization; Ren actually just borrowed manga from him), while Ren is perceived as an completely useless character who needs to disappear?
My only guess is that it might be hatred towards the actual fact of Zeki, but I get the feeling she is hated by both sides anyway
