>>43751978>Beyond the obviously sexist tone of this - Serena’s whole character arc revolving around getting a guy to fall in love with her - the worst part is that Serena doesn’t even love Ash. She loves an idea of Ash, a fantasy in her head, an idealized version of Ash she conjured up based on one random incident in her childhood that clearly meant nothing to Ash even if it somehow meant the world to her. In a telling moment, when Ash actually begins to express self-doubt and feel down, does Serena comfort him? Nope, she throws snowballs at him because he’s breaking her flawless mental image of him and she wants “the real Ash” back! This is never called out, and she’s framed as in the right, with Ash even thanking her for it!I'm not a serena fan, but...Ouch
The worst thing is that it is true
