For some reason ppl get extremely worked up over comments about Stan that isnt overwhelming praise. You dont see this happening to any other character, from my experience at least.
Same thing happens if you express disappointment in Ian for being small. I think folks perceive such commentary as attacks on their own physique and get defensive.
Stan is a largely underwhelming romance option for Lena. It is hard to be excited about him at all unless you like it from a corruption standpoint or it allows you to self insert into the role of a rather pathetic, awkward, creepy Average-Joe getting with a hot-chick. The art will definitely not be hot.
Such is Lena's life though- no great dudes; everyone is a compromise.
Either physically unattractive like (Stan, Ian, Robert) or just an absolute toss like (Axel, Jeremy, Robert, Mike, Seymore, ect ect.)
At least she has some good Les content in Holly to fall back on. Louise would be nice too- if Lena could get her head out of her ass and not just treat Louise like a fuck-toy she can casually discard after she is done with it. Fuck toy is fine- but you gotta take care of your fuck-toy - especially when they are as needy as Louise.
