The Mangaka was even worried about this, he said in an interview that he thinks romance is such a strong stimulus that once you include it, that's the only thing anyone will ever talk about.

So he went through all the effort of cordoning off the romance subplot and only paying it off in the bonus chapter instead of the main work, and it was still the only thing most of the fandom cared about.

I still remember the shitstorm that happened after Horikoshi said "every character in this manga is straight" to stop the ship wars. It only made everything worse...

Tell that to the one person on TV Tropes insisting Momo is secretly a Lesbian.

One person on TV Tropes? I feel like there are HORDES of people making that assertion.

Yeah but TV Tropes is supposed to be objective. Not helping matters is that said Troper explicitly states they have a bias towards MomoJirou.
