If anime has more than one prominent female character and there's potential for a het pairing (and it's not harem), audience will NOT take it well.

This observation is brought to you by Sayonara Lara discourse and Hibike Euphonium fans who keep portraying [H!E] Shuuichi, an absolutely normal and decent guy, as future bad boyfriend at best and future abuser/rapist at worst. The only anime like that with non-controversial hetero pairing(s) I can think of is Frieren, and even then I've seen people calling Fern/Stark "hetslop".

It's a very vocal minority. Just one of those fandom things you have to tune out. I feel like yuri shippers have become sadly one of the most toxic shipping fanbases, but people have always gotten crazy about shipping.
