I don’t understand where the take on baseless Amy hate was coming from or that it’s misogynistic

Don’t get me wrong, I’m starting to like Amy more as the story goes on. She’s a powerful mage, works hard, and isn’t a douche to every single person around her. As I read about her, she gets cuter and more endearing every scene she’s in. I love the group dynamic the four of them have as well.

However, I just did not like the dynamic where Shirone was repeatedly wronged by her without any apologies given. She did something in childhood that could have been traumatic for Shirone but it can be excused for her youth. When she sees him again, her first idea is to torment and humiliate him for HER mistake. When she acknowledges her wrongs personally, she never takes the initiative to apologize for those actions. This is why I don’t like the romantic relationship between the two, since I see this dynamic playing into the relationship.

I dont ship Shirone with anyone else, I just want him to be treated with care and thoughtfulness in any relationship he gets into. I know its fiction and its not that serious, but it’s simply what I dislike in the current development. I also want to validate some people dislikes that can be something other than “misogyny” and can be rooted in logic.

    I totally agree, there need to be some more character building moments for her. We’ve started to see how much she cares for him, but the past needs to be addressed too.
