I love them. They're especially
adorable in the sequel. Actually, I love all the couples. Louisa May Alcott is the only author that writes romance I like reading.

I've been seeing a lot of criticism towards older/younger pairings lately. Where did that come from? Was there a specific fandom that sparked it?

[(Anonymous)]

I think those criticisms have been around for such a long time that you can't even pinpoint a specific fandom. Some people just don't like older/younger pairings, especially if the age gap is wide. It might be that the people who don't like it have gotten louder though.

For some reason, I love them. They aren't usually something I like. But after watching the Movie with Winona Rider, they made it adorable for me. I ship it because of the movie. He was shy and awkward enough that it didn't feel paternalistic to me.

Agree. They were just okay for me in the books, but like every movie/tv/musical version (esp the Winona Ryder movie and the musical with Sutton Foster) of them I've seen are so sweet and adorable, that I just love them.

I was mad, the first time i read LW, that Jo and Laurie didn't marry, but Professor Behr had his own charms, and in the end, it sorted out all right. I was the least enthused by Meg and John, but still - enjoyable.

And i very much liked Little Men and Jo's Boys, and seeing how everything played out.

In general, I like older/younger pairings, but like OP my objection isn't the age difference, it's the type of relationship they have initially where he's playing Moral Police over Jo in a way I find patronizing and a bit gross. Obviously attitudes were different back then, but when you combine that the fact that he's old enough to be her father AND he's acting like her father... nah. Not cute or romantic to me.

Yeah, this is kinda the same problem I have when writers put Colonel Fitzwilliam and Georgiana Darcy together in Pride and Prejudice writings so I get it.
