>>461013I think it's because it's so beautiful. It's easy to get pulled in by the art alone, and the stories nice as well.
I think it would be controversial today, but because it's old now it'd like if you moralfagged about classic literature, you'd sound kinda ridiculous, and also there aren't any illustrations from it you can pull that feel shocking or overly revealing of it's contents so you actually have to have read it, which most won't because it's old, to find a reason to bitch.
>>461731I think the hate for Loveless is also caused by it feeling "sleezy" just because it's from the 2000s in a contemporary setting rather than a fancy historical one.
I think also because the child/adult relationship is plaster in all it's illustrations.
Also I think people find it less believable that people can get off in anyway to older art like Kaze.
