Yeesh. Just springing that on readers with no warning just. Misleading and flipping expectations on readers like that is just. Messed up. I like various sorts of relationships in fiction that would be unhealthy in real life... but not by SURPRISE. Not randomly in the middle of a story that seemed completely different at first! That's not okay.
The Masculinization of Anime Romance

I think my feelings about fanservice and the age question are both going to stem from the same root -- I, personally, DON'T like to self insert in my stories. So I'm fine with nudity and lewd fanservice if I feel like it's naturally in keeping with the characters and their situation. And y'know, teens can be horny sometimes. But the more contrived it is? The more it feels like it's FOR ME? The more squeamish I get. Stop flashing cleavage and underwear at me and winking at the camera, creators, please, I'm begging you. I do not want to be involved in this. Especially if the characters are underage, but even if they are NOT.
