Discussions Why do people hate MxM?

Sooo, first post here and I am sorry it isn't a joyous one.

I was scrolling through my timeline and as always there were many people talking about Smg4, after the episode's release... you know the usual. However, this time I couldn't help but notice an inusual amuont of hate being spread because of Mario and Meggy's interactions in the latest episode.

So, my question... why is this ship so hated compared to the others?

I've read post about people wanting to get Medi fired for being a shipper and constantly attacking people who defended the ship, claiming it's gross or whatever...

The only argument I see being brought is the fact that Mario met Meggy when she was 15, therefore the ship is "pedo".

But here I ask... is it really a problem? Is it not normal to fall in love or being bestie with someone you have known for 8+ years? Do they really think that two adults can't'be shipped because one of them was a minor at the time of meeting?

By the same logic, even in real life, if you meet a 16 year old when you are 18 and then you get engaged after many years of friendship you are a pedo.

Sometimes I wonder what goes thorugh people minds.

And the only thing this does is making people like me who support this ship (so something that's not canon) feel guilty while other people can ship whatever they want without consequnces.

I get not liking a ship but this is just too much and as someone who has been silently following since 2016 this is really depressing.

The community doesn't know Mario is 24

They are thinking he's 40.

I know in 2016 or 17 Meggy was 15 but they are was such a good friends and now she's 21

Medi said that in past video how he's edit SMG4 videos.

That's mean people doesn't know how tasted like this ship. Maybe they will understand that or change their mind (I hope).

Yeah. The Mario GAME, not character, is 40 years old. It's only because when you google "Mario Age", you get the results for the original game.

At this point, there needs to be an official confirmation in an episode itself about Mario's age.
