Ok. But here is where I am arguing about explicit labels.
If Love is Love, then what is the secondary difference outside of a very strong like? The label of hetero-relationships and homo-relationships very well by our own language is a combinational "hardware" preference on an intimate level; in your post that is emotional impulses.
Kamen Rider for me at its core is about a hero, who NEVER wanted to be one - being tossed aside with artifacts of an organization's ability and means - and then turning around to then fight for what that Rider deems overall right (in his world view). Whether or not the Rider succeeds (and seldom not succeed - which would provide an interesting end) is up to each interpretation of a rider. The past several riders have hints here and there; but much like Love versus Like, those shows never approach such a connection outside of expository labels (ones that yours and Take's posts suggest in outright labeling our hero).
If you wish to have kids make their own connections, do not push such labels - because that leads to explicit discrimination. And that is something I think we can agree on. Note in my parent post spurning this is that I DO NOT MIND if such things are thrown in. But I am giving a potential on how it can go awry with the explicit exception handling.
This is what I find why motorcycles get a bad reputation here in the United States, where as such strong Love/Like connotations do not exist elsewhere because of that initial explicit "label" in media. I also give blame on the ganster/ghetto culture as to why things like Black Lives Matter spurned, because that rap mentality is in my view the same as that whole comedic gay debacle is in allegory. It is at this time where there is no "normalization" fall back, and such tropes and memes propagate and linger.... Which is why I don't like memes in such ways at all.
I remain critical - because the show gives me that chance. A good show - never gives me that chance as it is enough for me to be convinced of what theater is there to not invoke questioning.
