And anyways, why do people (no matter if it's close friends or literal strangers) always feel the need to comment on other people's relationship choices. Moreover, why is it so hard to keep shoes neat and pretty?
In defence of the co-worker; she opened up a whole new perspective and manga for the son + best mom to read too. Her personality is a problem but its not out of harm. She's not making any comments to Toono too. There is an article about how fujoshis become educated and allies to the LGBT. It was an interview with many gay men. She's not a bad person. Just not educated.
I thought it was interesting how Best Mom expressing her existing belief that how a person lives their life is up to them led to her acceptance of her son's use (or lack thereof) of his shoes, when many similar stories in various media reverse the causal relationship of those two concepts.
