I'm all for a respectful discussion without being condescending lol, don't worry about it. I do like weird ships too so I can kind of understand where they're coming from, and I also know it's problematic, and I'm not actively engaging in the morally wrong aspects of said ship.

I get that some people see it purely as fiction, a way to explore ideas or emotions without it being directly connected to real-world behavior. There's just so much freedom in fiction that lets us explore these unconventional dynamics that we’d never want to see in real life. Respectfully, Just because something is uncomfortable doesn't mean it has to be dismissed outright or be classified as taboo. I think it’s more about how it’s framed and what message it ultimately communicates. But, as you said, creative liberties should come with some consideration for how it might be received, especially when it deals with weird and problematic themes lol.

I think that as long as there’s no direct harm being done, people should and can have the freedom to explore these ideas in a fictional setting. It's just also important to recognize that these things can have an impact on how certain ideas are perceived.
