genuine question what’s so wrong with harumuu?

im going to copy what my friend said abt this question since im bad at explaining things

Haruka views Muu as his mother, and whilst his idea of a mother is twisted and not an example of an actual mother, it’s actually worse that he envisions her in such a way due to the fact that his ACTUAL mother was horrible, abusive and manipulative. Also, Haruka has a weird deep obsession with his mother which is unhealthy, and to project that onto someone else, especially a teenage girl, is weird and gross. Toxic ships exist yes, but this one borders on being gross due to the ‘ mother son ‘ dynamic presented ( especially due to it being a twisted dynamic at that ) as well as the fact a lot of people embrace/ship it DUE to this weird dynamic at play ( and sometimes even use mommy kinks as an example of it being okay despite the people in question being minors ) and not only that, the ship itself can be categorised as pseudo-incestuous due to the fact Haruka, again, sees Muu as a maternal figure in canon ) Not to mention the ship itself, by existing, minimalises Haruka’s trauma as a “ romantic “ thing when it is actually a very bad and very wrong trauma response.
