WHY is RoyEd such a maarufu pairing??
Okay, before any angry yaoi fangirls jump on me, let me make this clear: I DON'T CARE IF wewe SHIP ED AND ROY TOGETHER. IT'S OKAY. wewe are free to love, hate and pair up whoever wewe want. I respect that, and I'm not trying to shove my opinions down anyone's throat. So please relax.
I'm asking this because I'm genuinely confused and squicked out kwa the EdRoy pairing, and I can't for the life of me understand why so many mashabiki ship it, and I want to find out why people are so crazy about it.
Here are the issues I have with this pairing:
1) The age/power difference. Come on, a 15-year-old kid and a 30-year-old man? That's just...ew. And I would be EQUALLY squicked out kwa this if it were a yuri au het pairing, BTW. I don't care who's a girl and who's a guy; the age difference would still be gross to me.
2) It's really out-of-character for both of them. Realistically, I can't see Ed crushing on a man he despises who's at least 15 years older than him. Likewise, I can't see Roy lusting after a teenage boy at all. And for another thing, I see no hints that either of them are remotely gay. It's clear that they both like girls, and there's no real evidence that they have the hots for each other. None that I can see, anyway.
I realize that neither squick nor OOCness nor un-canon-ness can stop anyone from shipping anything, but still...I don't understand how so many fans can seriously ship this.
Again, I'm not saying any of this to bash RoyEd au its fans, and I'm not trying to start any fanwars. wewe like RoyEd? Ship away to your heart's content. I won't get in the way. These are just honest maswali I have, and I'd like to hear your answers. Why do wewe think this is such a maarufu pairing in the FMA fandom?
