That's like if a 10-year-old would be in love with a 20-year-old. That would be taboo in any culture. Emiru and Ruru are just friends. Pretty Cure is about friendship, not romance. Romance shouldn't be in Star Twinkle. If they're going to feature something like that in the next season, the older person would have to act like a parent. I think a child Cure is fine because we did have Cure Muse, and it worked. Alien mascots have kind of been done before because I think the fairies who came to Earth did come from outer space. And the aliens do look like animals. I would like to see a humanoid fairy who is the shape of a child with wings who about the same size as all the other mascots. I am in agreement. I oppose Ruru x Emiru not because they're gay (of course not) but because 10-11 year old Emiru is way too young for 16-18 year old Ruru. The subtext is there, but the idea of them being a couple makes me uncomfortable (though not as much as the idea of Harry x Hugtan).
