Well said.

But there's a major cognitive dissonance to the whole thing. (I think part of it is "I think he's hot anyway, and since I don't like them together, I'll have him be hot with someone else and she doesn't have to put up with him.")

Oh, major cognitive dissonance, with a fucking huge dollop of mistoginist females (which I assume, until proven otherwise, that slash fans slash because they aren't comfortable/hate their own femaleness.)

(Really, let's face it, most girls in anime and manga really DO deserve better...I'm just forgiving because, in most of mine, there's some monomania and extreme devotion and the leaving of trails of dead bodies for your girlie, and I just get very forgiving when those things are going on...)

Look, when you say they deserve better and don't give it to them, what you're REALLY saying is they deserve worse. There's no real other way to slice it.
