Saitama's monologue to the crowd after he kills Sea King. He does it not for the Hero's group as an institution, but for people who act like true heroes. Something Rider exemplifies. I also really enjoyed whenever they interact with each other. Rider's thank you note showed he respected and appreciated Saitama in turn.

If OP were correct about the OPM fandom only being in it for the looks, people /would/ ship Genos with someone else (ex. way more Genos/Sonic fanart). Someone who write a fic about the two of them meeting and it would take off.

Even if they don't find Saitama physically attractive, they find him attractive as a character. Otherwise they would move on to a different show.

Haha, I was too busy watching Genos make moon-eyes at Saitama during the whole Sea King scene. I thought it was kind of implied that the monologue was about all the heroes that went down fighting the Sea King? Like Saitama was very purposely including Genos, Mumen Rider, Puri Puri Prince, etc, in that monologue. I never got the feeling that from Saitama's side that was anything directed at anyone in particular.

Someone else expanded on it a bit more, and I guess this is just one of those series where I feel like the OTP stands head-and-shoulders above the other possible pairing combinations so I have a hard time seeing why people are picking up these things. It's like if people started shipping Genos/Amai Mask because they spoke and had tension for like 5 minutes, or if they started shipping Saitama and the scientist guy hardcore.

However, OP is very correct though, in the general sense. I've seen plenty of people bitch about how they only ship [insert pairing here] because of the emotional aspect, and how they wish such-and-such character were hotter, and I've seen plenty of people outright complain that they can't ship such and such pairing because one of them isn't "hot enough", etc.

Maybe in OPM fandom it's not quite as bad, (although Secret!OP's secret sounds very much like it is at times), but like I and other commenters here have mentioned there is a really shitty tendency in fandom to do this.
