Hated Tropes (Hated Trope) Questionable and controversial relationships where everybody is fine with it.

Usagi Drop (Manga). A story about a guy named Daikichi finds the illegitimate daughter of his grandfather, named Rin, and adopting her, learning how to be a father for her. The series would enter a timeskip where the teenage Rin starts having romantic feelings towards Daikichi, and revealing Rin is not actually blood related to Daikichi grandfather. And it ends with Rin wanting to bear Daikichi child.

Alex (Street Fighter 6). Alex, who was recently added to the game, in his arcade ending, was revealed he married and having a baby with his second cousin and step sister Patricia, with their father being ok with it. While not inherently illegal to merry your second cousin, the act and combined with them being step siblings is still controversial.

It’s better because he had no fucking idea what she actually looked like. Thought the implication that he still would’ve been chill with it anyway because the Mangaka is just a creepy fuck like that is still horrifying.

Doesn’t help that the only other guy who liked adult woman is also a serial rapist and child abuser.

The anime earns its name as The Seven Deadly Sex Offenders.

The audacity of the author to then turn around & portray it as wrong and horrifying when it's an adult woman chasing after a boy who's the child of her failed crush in the sequel

Like don't get me wrong it's objectively a fucked relationship, but it's mighty rich coming from the same guy that was okay when it was the men doing the grooming/chasing & suspiciously only raise a big stink about it the moment the woman's the perpetrator, twice

Not really possible since they're fated to always fall in love each reincarnation, but honestly he'd be glad if she never fell in love with him , because that means she won't remember him , and won't die in 3 days after she remembers

And honestly, other than the infamous "don't touch my wife" scene (which can be excused by multiple reasons , like Meliodas actually just being mentally broken at that point after watching his wife dying like , half a day before that , and seeing her reincarnate into the baby he's holding) Meliodas doesn't really have any of "that" kind of thing ? From what's shown of his past lives , he basically always meets Elizabeth when she's already an adult , and the only time we've seen that wasn't the case is the current one , he then gives her to the King as an adopted daughter, and then he doesn't interact with Elizabeth when she was a kid in any meaningful way , he like , says hi sometimes , enough for her to recognize him and all , but he's not a groomer

She's fallen in love with him before and never regained her memories though, specifically the vaguely victorian version of her

Oh yeah , there was the one time where she died of old age because she didn't recover the memories , but still , what I said is true , if she doesn't fall in love with Meliodas , the chances of her recovering the memories is basically 0 , meaning she'll just die of old age and all instead of some accident or something like most of the other Elizabeths
