I Also Think Luka Deserves Better, But Not In The Context Of "deserves Better From Marinette". Deserves

I also think Luka deserves better, but not in the context of "deserves better from Marinette". Deserves better for me is just send the boy off overseas, and stop making him be the "mediator" to the love square problems. Why the heck does HE have to deal with that? Even if he's nice enough not to see it as a problem, solve y'all on problems.

Why would people would ship Luka with a girl he hasn't even canonically met (Zoe) and look away from a genuinely good friends to lovers ship (Lukanette)?

An eye-rolling mixture of reasons:

1. The visual connections: the highlights, the crazy shoes, the torn pants (Zoe has a small rip in hers), et cetera.

2. Some multishippers (people who ship both love square and Lukanette) are quick to pawn Luka off on another girl so that love square can be their endgame while Luka is still with someone.

3. The above also goes for love square shippers who don't ship Lukanette. It's easy to say, "oh, see? Luka can't get with Marinette because... b-because he's with Zoe!"

4. Spite. Some people want to "teach Marinette a lesson" and have her be "too late" to go back to Luka so that she can go running to Adrien/Chat afterwards.

5. The """Luka Deserves Better""" crowd, often love square shippers disguising themselves as Luka supporters or spontaneously liking/supporting Luka as a way of discrediting Lukanette. Plus, Zoe's rich and blond and "perfect"; Marinette could never hope to compete.

6. The faux Lukanette shippers who immediately stop shipping it now that it's "over" and "not canon anymore" (so they then go onto ship Luka/Zoe instead which is also not canon ¬_¬).

No judging to people who find intrigue in shipping characters who haven't interacted before because maybe they want to play around with the idea just in general or anything. It's just that, when that's not the case, some people have really obvious motives, lol.
