the way fandom views critique of their special thing as Hate that should be violently pushed back on and vague'd about is so lame to me. If you love something I think you should be able to approach the nuances that are inherently applied by the fact all art is made by people with world views

I don't know I engage with a lot of art that is very divisive and contentious because I think the way the complications of people mix with technical know how is interesting and worth talking about and noting and you can gush about the beauty of the writing of a line and the craft in the same breath as a critique about it's implications it doesn't make the other untrue and you Should be talking about it if you claim to love something

I get the impulse to project parent/child type relationships onto characters but sometimes the dynamic you're thinking of is Mentorship

Sometimes he would not fucking be their dad. Sometimes he's their weird teacher

Sometimes she's not their mom but actually fully just a woman their own age

"I just mean that I have a different definition of soulmate than everyone else," he said, running his hand through his bangs with a sigh. "I don't think there was some grand plan or destiny leading Winry and me together, and I don't think she's the only person I could ever love."
"Well, how would you define a soulmate then?"
"A soulmate is..." Ed frowned and thought for a minute. "A soulmate is... Home."

Genuinely nothing in fma will ever be funnier than when Russell, not knowing the elric brothers were on the military's top public enemies list, pretended to be Ed so he could get some books for free and the librarian called the cops on him and Fletcher

"Kill yourself" is basic. "I hope your fandom gets a new installment that is objectively a great work but also tonally dissonant from the previous ones in a way that generates a huge newbie boom of people uninterested and hostile towards the history of the franchise" is smart. It's possible. It's terrifying. It's happening right now.
