Romance, Romance, ROMANCE!

Look, I meant it when I said in an earlier post that I understand different people have different interests in romance, but certain things are just plain wrong. When you pair one guy with a sea of women (or the other way around), that is just disrespectful to the name romance. I've said I mostly read Naruto fanfics, and you won't believe how many "harem" stories there are. I've only been able to find one thing more despicable. People just seem to love pairing Naruto with the adults. Kakashi, Kurenai, Anko, Iruka, Yuugao, TSUNADE! WTF!? She's fifty, and all the rest are in their twenties! He's thirteen! He doesn't even fully understand what love is! In case you haven't noticed, I prefer pre-timeskip, since that's where the important things start to happen, though an incredibly long backstory is good for extreme change in a character's personality. I think that several chapters should be devoted to pre-series start at least. If you're tired of "romance" stories that have nothing to do with love, just hormones, just talk about it.
