We made a mistake with Iman, maybe, but we also got criticized for it. The Jen shipping fandom seemed so heavily weighted against Sebastian. And there's like this idea that you can only ever have one real love so anyone else that the main character cares about has to be eliminated or pushed to the side in order for the love story to work. So anything cruel or unfair that the main couple does is totally justified because They're In Love.
