Erh, i figure just because most of the people around here haven't said anything about the darker side of Lulu and Rolo's relationship, it doesn't mean that they don't see it, or are putting it on the backburner until things start getting interesting again. Admittedly this was a pretty pointless post, but taking a screenshot like that and giggling over it is just some lighthearted fun.
Mmmrh i understand it's irritating for people to call you out about not seeing a ship, but then again even if they crank up the fanservice in Geass, I think there's still some basis for construing a pairing in the actual canon (to a certain extent). Scenes like this make it more "shippable", but to me it's a multilayered relationship, similar to the SuzaLulu one - though less obvious and more manipulative, i'd elaborate on the two but it's nearly 5am here so what i'm saying might not make sense Dxx; Thing is, all the fanservice recently has tended towards the fangirl squealing rather than any mindfuckery or discussion of it. Small things like the way Lelouch has manipulated Rolo's feelings and the way he now treats Rolo are interesting food for thought -- and while the slashy goodness is part of it and kind of reinforces it, the basis is there in the first place for something to be going on. ._. To me the canon fact is that it's a strange perversion of the sibling relationship already, taking it one step further isn't that illogical; especially given the way Lelouch treats Nunnaly at times sister complex?.
I highly highly doubt that Sunrise is actually going to dump a canon BL pairing on us, and god somehow it's ridiculous if anyone believes that they will. :'/
Also, It's true that het pairings rarely get love in geass/ a lot of fandom in general, and while the misogyny is unfortunate, a community full of fangirls can sometimes be like that. I don't know... I can't really comment on character bashing or ship claims because by the time i found this place, the first season had long been over. I did like the Kallen/Lulu scene (esp. since I liked the pairing in S1), but when it comes to fanservice level, the mere fact that they were both boys adds a +10 advantage.
Tbh, trolls like that are not really doing any harm and don't much matter in a spammy manip post like this. I laughed, and the entire thing is for the lolz anyway :S
