As one might effortlessly predict, many people seriously detest this genre/trope. It might have to do with the oft-idealised nature of relationships in the anime/manga culture, along with the fanbase's obsession with [[Purity Sue|purity]]—a phenomenon apparent by the popularity of tropes like [[Sacred First Kiss]], [[Lolicon]], [[Yamato Nadeshiko]], or [[Moe]]. That is to say, Otakudom seems to have a strong connection with a specific, sugary perception of romantic relationships, built around pure, sincere, genuine commitment. Hence Netorare, being at the opposite side of the [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]], tends to rub people the wrong way. In spite of all the hate, some people are genuinely attracted to this kind of stories, for [[Mind Game Ship|various]] [[My Girl Is a Slut|reasons.]] Inversely, most fans of the genre are also obsessed with purity, which is what makes it all the more enticing when that purity is broken. |
