33.
Anyway, my reasoning for liking them is this:
[Go down to the bolded sentence if you know this already lol]
Dist is pathetic, clingy, obsessive, but for a greater cause in his eyes. I think his obsession is amplified with Jade just simply because of his genius - he sees Jade as the only one to revive Nebilim who meant everything to Dist. Dist is really stuck in the past to the point he can't move on thus sees Jade as a means of a greater goal. A return of his 'former self' along with his teacher Nebilim. I don't think his flamboyant nature comes from the fact he's gay but it roots from the fact he likes attention.
Jade is moving on in the future, has left Dist behind, and still is somewhat emotionally retarded even to his friends. It's shown he somewhat cares for Dist if you look carefully, but it's totally not romantic. It seemed like Jade took an odd responsibility for Dist, like he carries the same weight throughout the whole game. Jade's main issue is the fact he doesn't fully understand how his actions, distance, insensitivity to situations, and logical nature can lead to concequences thus why he hinted some guilt when he had to 'kill' Dist. [which he never does. :')] While at the end of the game, we have a hint he wants to change for the better, we can't be too sure about if he will or not as his personality is already in place.
I'm not sure if it'd ever be romantic at all, or even sexual - thus why I rarely read works of the pairing. Perhaps I'm elitist in that respect, but I don't enjoy the portrayal Jade and Dist being shown as 'old lovers' or the like. I think Dist's emotions were only on his side alone and that's why I find it so interesting that Dist no matter how much abuse he goes through will not waver.
Uh, so basically for tl;dr it seems like I enjoy their potential interaction more than the potential romance and sex.
However - I will not lie, there are a lot of batshit fans in the Jade/Dist fandom. But for every pairing in fandom, there are people that emphasis the wrong things about it. I know for a fact I myself am irritated at Asch/Luke - also to a lesser degree Jade/Guy, and Peony/Jade.
However, I'm sorry to say that people have been pushing that pairing on you, as I had similar situations with the three pairings above that I can barely see. [ Well I used to see Peony/Jade, but it would cheapen Peony's character in my personal opinion now that I read the Peony Gaiden. D: ]
Let it be known though I don't think people will attack you for disliking it, it's cool as long as you don't criticize the person behind it for liking it.
Guh, that came out seriously long hahaa.
