>>24385600unironically partly the fault of the Takamori setup
since Takamori was initially the example of everything wrong in HoloEN, Gurame got turned into an example of a yuri ship done "right" or "with the right people", already turning the thread focused on some manner of ship war
when the dynamics started changing from the almost predefined two pairs, with more Bonebro and Ametori interactions, that actually turned this shit worse, since it lost the clear distinction of "orange-pink bad" and "trinity good" and instead focusing on specific downfalls of the pairings or partners
due to the above, all of the pairing shit got very weirdly aggressive on the EN side, moreso than JP ones - people are invested not only cause of the "UWAAA SEEEEGS", but also their specific pairing being proven to be doing things "right"
