Feels like some ppl here have way too visceral of a reaction to whenever (the wish for) a possible polyam situation is mentioned xD
I'm sure there are outliers but for most of us who like and want to see more polyam in manga, our comments are just an (albeit somewhat overenthusiastic) "Oh that would be so neat!", nothing more. If it happens, great! If it doesn't, oh well. That's what it boils down to~ And as most rarely catered to shippers surely will understand, it doesn't take much to get our shipping goggles going :D
I mean, I like poly as much as other people but if they are brigging up a point on a forum of discussion, I guess people are indeed free to also say their point if they disagree that there's a chance for poly or not
That aside, i sometimes see this sentiment of "If a third person comes into the mix, one of the first two will inevitably get the short end of the stick bc of divided attention/love" and that's just not a thing in "actual" polyamory (as opposed to, say, a monoamorous love triangle situation where one character just can't decide, those exist too i guess).
in polyamory, love is additive. If there's another person there, then there's just that much more love to go around. That's oen of the beautiful things about it actually ^^
If you are saying that because of my previous comment, what I was trying to say is that if someone that is in a relationship with someone is open for a possible poly but the other person isn't, it's most likely because of jealousy, I wasn't saying that there's jealousy/divition of love and attention on poly relationships, I was saying that some partners/couples on a relationship wouldn't be interested/open about it because of jealousy, poly might just not work if the other partner doesn't agree with it
