Aside from its story and characters, the show gained popularity among some fans for its pairings, despite there not being any signs of romantic attraction between the characters. Many fans tend to see pairings between the triplets and secondary characters, usually Futaba X Satou, Mitsuba X Miku.
So I'm sure you've heard it all: 'But she's too young!', 'She's too much of a little sister!' (even if I have no problems with that interpretation as I love Joker and Futaba's bond no matter what direction you take it), 'She's too emotionally immature!', 'It feels like you're taking advantage of a newly recovered shut-in', 'Makoto/Kawakami/etc. is bae!' (no offense to any of their fans), etc. etc. mainly in response to someone admitting they prefer romancing Joker with Futaba or worse trying to put them down and make their pairing look better.
With that being said I now want to ask you guys: What are your reasons for justifying romancing Futaba or seeing as romantic relationship between her and Joker to be all right in the face of certain...others who take this whole shipping wars thing WAY too seriously. I apologize in advance if this topic sounds like I'm implying/accusing something and I do not mean to offend/disprespect anyone who are also fans of the other pairings/prefer other romantic pairings better. Just wanted to add more discussion to this church and to hear what you guys think about this topic, that's all :)

Edit: Another point of argument I see some people make is that Futaba is supposedly too dependent (which I see being one of the reasons as to why people like Futaba, once not trying to imply anything...) on Joker which is said to be unhealthy in a relationship. While it is cute on how Futaba does indeed develop an affinity towards Joker, that argument still seems like glossing over Futaba's development in the main story and in her confidant.

In every Persona game, the protagonist has had a OTP with one of the female party members.
NOTE: I'm calling of the protag's by their canon or manga/anime names
Persona 1 | Naoya (P1 protag) + Maki
Persona 2 | Tasuya (P2 protag) + Maya
Persona 3 | Minato (P3 male Protag) + Aigis
Persona 4 | Yu (P4 Protag) + Yukiko
I'm curious to know as to who is Akira's true pairing. I've been thinking that it could be Makoto, because of her trailer had hinted at it. Another reason was also because of a theory I had came up about her arcana. In previous Persona games, the protag's female admirer/crush was a girl with either the Priestess or Aeon (e.g. Yukiko, Aigis, Marie, & Maki), but I wasn't sure if that theory was plausible.
I'm only this question out of curiosity, so please don't spoil any PLOT related details please.
