>>24832090The thing is most of the people who liked May in the anime were close to her age when she was around, she was probably their first ever cartoon crush, so it's no surprise that years later they still like her, even though they've aged and she barely hasn't.
May ranges from age 10-14 depending on the medium, making her underage in most countries in the world, so I can't really say I support her fanbases love for her, but I do understand it. She was their first waifu for a lack of a better term.
