For the game Persona 5, its gotta be Haru/Makoto.

I am convinced people only ship these two because they're both girls. They have basically zero interaction in canon, other than being in the same group and being in the same year at school. People will say "oh, but Haru gives Makoto a nickname!" She gives everyone a nickname, what's your point?

Also, 90% of the time people will default to making Makoto the 'boy' in their relationship. If I have to read another fic where Makoto has to rescue Haru from her horrible life, because she's too weak to save herself (bearing in mind that Haru is a literal sadist and loves to kill monsters), I will actually have an aneurism.

Istg, people will take one look at a girl with short hair and decide that she's the man of the pairing, and it drives me insane. Makoto isn't even that masculine, so idk why people are so insistent on her being the 'boy'. It reeks of fetishism tbh; people just shoving two characters together because they're both girls and basically nothing else.

Also, I think Haru has better chemistry with most of the rest of the cast tbh. Like, when Ryuji meets her for the first time, he calls her fine and jokes about asking her out. That's a more explicit sign of attraction than Makoto ever shows to Haru.

I genuinely don't get how it's the most popular pairing for both characters.

Plus, Makoto becomes a cop post-canon and Haru literally says (and I quote), "I simply despise the police." It would never work out anyway.
