That's not really a Steggy thing. I've seen the same criticism levied even by non-shippers, as well as (the more expected) Stony and Stucky shippers. I think some people just find it super weird to hook up with your ex-girlfriend's niece, with the whole funeral situation being the cherry on the top of that weirdness sundae.

I don't know, I find it super-annoying that no one remembered that they were flirting as far back as Winter Soldier, long before he knew she was Peggy's niece. I also think it speaks well of his character that he continued the flirtation after she said she wanted to be known on her own merits and not her aunt's, seems like he's taking her at her word for that even if it may or may not cause issues for him.

...no. He had one awkward conversation with her because Nat told him to.

DA

Do you mean the conversation in their hallway while she was holding her fake laundry? Natasha didn't tell him to do that; the first time she nudged Steve towards Sharon was during their conversation in the graveyard at the very end of the film.

It would be super weird IRL, but IRL your ex-girlfriend's niece would be much, much younger than you and you probably would have met her as a child. Steve met Sharon as an adult and nothing to do with Peggy.

(Not defending how it was shown in the movie, though, that was super awkward.)

AYRT

IRL your ex-girlfriend's niece would be much, much younger than you and you probably would have met her as a child.

Not necessarily. First, nieces aren't always much younger than their aunts. I've even known a couple of aunts and uncles who were younger than some of their nieces and nephews. (Wide spread of ages between siblings, so the oldest ones were married and starting families before their parents were done having children themselves.)

Second, exes come in all ages. If your ex-girlfriend is a decade or more older than you--which is certainly within the realm of possibility--then it wouldn't be at all unusual for her niece to be around your own age.

Third, people meet their girlfriends' nieces at all ages. Even if you were significantly older than your gf's niece, if you start dating your gf when both of you are 45 and your gf's niece is 30, then you'll only ever have known the niece as an adult.

Long story short, I think the weirdness of how it played out in CA is more the weirdness of hooking up with more than one member of a family, which is a bit odd regardless of whether those two family members are an aunt and niece or two sisters. Also, the funeral thing. :-/

My aunt is five years older than me, so...
