After all, just look how many Amourshippers can't help, but "rub it in fujo faces" by bringing up Gou for no reason like he lives rent free in their heads. Saying stuff like "You lost, Gohtrannies" (even though every fujo was excited for Serena—see ShuujiChan for example), hoping Serena replaces Gou as the new co-protagonist, or posts like this

I'm taking that as a positive, because even they think Satogou has so much going for it they have to falseflag a fake ship in order to "kill it." That speaks volumes about how well Satoshi and Gou fit each other.
