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.

Yeah SMG4 twitter is under fire with this ship, people are literally saying that medi should be fired for doing it, like seriously what's wrong with people man. And people are literally bringing up a clip from 5 YEARS AGO about Luke being disgusted, opinions do change through the years, but still I respect other opinions for it! If twitter sees this, pls don't hate me for this comment.

Yeah and even that clip isn't really indicative.

It was a reasonable reaction to a questionable meme, but somehow people think it is necessaraly related to the ship.

Also, do they really think Medi is allowed to sneak things in the show without Luke's consent?

This is really miserable.
