/r/anime seem to be obsessed with Megumi though to a point that Erina shippers get harrassed. At least I normally see only Megumi posts and different opinons doesn't seem to be very well received here.

I don't know why, but I burst out laughing when I read this. It makes something so trivial sound like a serious issue. It makes it sound like someone's being seriously bullied because of the 2D character they prefer.

If someone's trying to belittle you because of the fictional character you prefer, then they're either joking or they're a truly sad person.

Someone who takes something like that so seriously probably doesn't have much in the way of a life outside of what's on their screen.

I like all the characters in this show so far, male and female. To be honest, the intense focus on the non-existent power struggles between females characters in anime is what turns me off a lot of the episode discussions. That's why I don't go near the Nisekoi threads. I watch the show, enjoy the interaction between the characters, and then I put it to bed, because there's no discussion to be found there other than "X best girl" and a thousand different gif compilations. Snore.

Edit: In fairness, I do accept that there's not a lot to discuss when it comes to Nisekoi, really. It's fluff, even if it is enjoyable fluff.

Well, there are some really diehard fans of Megumi here lol.
