I have sympathy for anyone who likes Kyouya, or Haruhi/Kyouya, but hates the beach scene, because I've come across fic that portrays the beach scene as romantic.

Fandom seems to think it's their big romance moment and treat it as such.

And I realized that the big difference between that scene and the tree scene in Avatar was that Zuko tying Katara to a tree was, first of all, not sexualized, and most importantly, he was CLEARLY a villain at that point, if a sympathetic one. The narrative wasn't acting like Zuko was behaving OKAY and IN THE RIGHT.
