Why Do You Hate Forbidden Relationships?

i view it as selfish because of the first code. thats also why i wish it doesnt change. the clans r built on loyalty, and if u break loyalty because of someone u barely know, that just breaks everything the clans represent and was built off of. i say barely know, because most forbidden relationships, u have to sneak around, lie, and only meet them at certain times. u dont know if thats how the cat truly acts. u're only seeing them aruond u, in a special hidden circumstance. thats not them in a natural environment. how do u know they're being themselves or if they're just putting on a front to impress u? how is there ANY trust in these kinds of relationships? plus, graystripe is the poster boy for why these relationships r selfish. he and silverstream basically stopped being warriors altogether just to sneak off and be together during the day. they might as well have pulled a leaf x crow and leave the clans at that point. they didnt care about anyone or anything but themselves and each other. which i call the very definition of SELFISH.

speaking of leaf x crow:

yeah, i have bias for leaf x crow, but i still have awareness enough to acknowledge their relatoinship was ALSO selfish, just like all the others. not only was it underdeveloped in the books, but it caused a lot of damage for everyone around them, for moons afterward. also, for dove x tiger, moving clans is another issue i find extremely selfish. leaving behind everything and everyone u were raised around is selfish. breaking ur warrior oath to ur clan is selfish. making the excuse that u cant find happiness or purpose in ur home clan is selfish. u 100% CAN find those things in ur own clan if u just tried and got in touch with ur warrior duties and what it means for the whole picture. and graystripe had a legit reason to move clans: to be with his children. but look what happened, he knew his loyalty lied with thunderclan and he couldnt even TRY to change loyalties FOR HIS CHILDREN. dovewing not being happy is an excuse. she could have tried to make friends in her own clan. she could have done more warrior duties to help out her clanmates. there is was no reason for her to get back with tigerheart. it was tigerheart's pressence that ruined her development away from him. if he didnt push so much with just his pressence in camp, she could have 100% moved on and stayed loyal to thunderclan.

hate is not the word i would use, but i would say i don't like them. they seemed cool at first but now it's getting ridiculous and boring every single time one appears. there were some good ones like blueoak, but the others are not that great. a lot of the other forbidden relationships are either poorly written or just really boring. i also don't like how they implement love at first sight for some, like for example, greysilver. 

For me, the issue with forbidden romances is that they're so overdone they don't really seem forbidden anymore. Like, it has become a major theme in nearly every arc, it's exhausting. I don't care about it anymore. When it was Gray x Silver, it was interesting because it was new and we all knew it was a bad thing and there was the anticipation of them getting caught.  And I'll admit, even the connection between Gray x Silver with Blue x Oak was interesting.

But then they started making it a major theme in almost every arc, and it really just feels like the Erins don't know how to make it interesting without throwing in a forbidden relationship. Surely there's more interesting stuff they can come up with that doesn't have to do with cat from other Clans getting together.

I don't even care about it being selfish - in fact, I kinda like seeing characters be selfish and put themselves first sometimes. That makes them more interesting. But I have to say, I look forward to hopefully seeing the Warrior Code change so they don't have forbidden romances as an option for filler content and added drama anymore.

I'm not a fan of them in general if they don't bring anything new to the table? I think the only ones I tolerate are GraySilver, BristleRoot, and FeatherCrow? Probably more, but too tired to think of, and they're usually the one and done, or least problematic ones lol.

I don't hate them as a concept but I do dislike how Warriors as a series has grown to use them for easy conflict. It often feels like the editing team really want a character to make a mistake to agonise over but don't want them to do something that might make the reader actually question them. Combine that with how it's seen as a terrible thing in-universe and it's the easiest thing for the editors to do for drama. The first couple of times were fine for me, but now it's pretty transparent that the editors just didn't have a better idea as the couples don't feel like they naturally grew into romance.

All of these other examples to spice up forbidden relationships have never been used, which is saddening.

Instead we just get Warrior X Warrior for like what, the fourth time in a row?
At least Lionblaze and Heathertail were different as they were both apprentices at the time.
