It’s a fantasy world where everyone literally beats the shit out of each other for fun, they obviously have vastly different views than you, so why would they even balk about it….? You’re projecting your own personal world view on a fantasy world… some people’s justice is literally I beat the shit out of you, we are best friends now, it’s not real fucking life lmfao, if it was a realistic manga, sure yeah you may have a point, but that’s neither here nor there.
You may be taking this a little bit too seriously if you draw arbitrary lines like you’re doing with a FANTASY media……
It’s a piece of entertainment media/art. It is intrinsically linked to the real world at least in the sense that a real person created it.
A component of it did things with the characters that me and a lot of other people don’t like. End of discussion.
I don’t understand why you feel there is anything here to talk about, or any way or even reason for you to try and convince me that my position doesn’t have legs to stand on.
Pairing Gajeel with Levy, doesn’t work for me because it causes a negative emotional response of visceral disgust. It doesn’t fucking matter how much sense it makes within the context of the fictional world, when all I can imagine is how fucked the author must be in the head to think fans would enjoy that development.
And when I further think on the fact that a lot of them did enjoy it, and that it might even have been pandering to that exact group of people, the disgust gets worse.

It’s a fantasy world with completely different world views, the relationship actually fits within the lore of the universe… two people literally became best friends after beating the shit out of each other.
I’m sorry you think a FANTASY world has to have the same world view as you, maybe you need to immerse yourself into their narrative properly so you can understand how it actually fits perfectly for the lore and world they built.
I was saying everyone is free to interpret it their own way, but at the same time you can wrong since you aren’t understanding the lore, and that’s okay. What’s not okay is continually arguing the same points after having this pointed out you multiple times.
Clearly you didn’t actually come here for a discussion, so I’m gonna bounce now. Maybe look at what the artist is trying to tell you, instead of just assuming and building your own narrative.
It’s a fucking fantasy world, they have massively different standards and they obviously view abuse and assault differently. So why you would think they would react the same is just fucking wild, maybe you take these stories TOO seriously since you want them to be real? Idk, it’s fucking fiction lmfao.
Buddy, a person can’t be “wrong” about what they do and don’t like. If I don’t enjoy rain, you can’t walk in and tell me my preferences for weather are “incorrect”. To do that would be completely deranged.
Get over yourself. There is literally no part of your position which can be defended objectively.
At best, you can claim “personally it doesn’t bother me”.
But you actually,cannot, tell people they are wrong for being bothered by fucked up interpersonal developments in fiction.
The fact that it’s fiction doesn’t even begin to be a point in your favor.
