Since it's very difficult to portray a same-sex friendship these days without some people drawing the wrong conclusion, I believe it should be deleted.
Well, if other users do not mind, then I will not interfere with the removal of the paragraph. As for Alisteria and Mamika, do I understand correctly that you have no complaints?
It's a hot-button issue, considering that is a relationship between a young adult and a preteen girl. We could hold off on that one.
Hmm, I would be more inclined to the fact that Mamika have the same age as Sota. Although of course, the average age of heroines of such works is 13-14 years. But how old is Alisteria? The MAL calls her a "young woman", so she should be about 19-24 years old. In any case, now I'm interested only in them, because it seems to me that the show obviously shipping them at least to "Romantic" Two-Girl Friendship

Whatever the case, we need to be careful about this. People might interpret the relationship wrong and think the series is endorsing a romance between them; unless, of course, they're okay with that.
Then what do you propose? To rewrite the paragraph and shift the focus from an openly lesbian interpretation to a romantic friendship and the lack of a show's direct answer about the nature of their relationship?
Or can anyone ask the question to the authors of the show in twitter?
Well, if anyone has a direct line to the authors, then by all means.
Returning to the problem of Les Yay, is it worth leaving a paragraph about Celestia and Meteora? I have already been told that this is an attempt to see any female friendship through Shipping Goggles and is not needed in the article. However, I do not want to touch the section without asking the opinions of other users.
