I am so freaking bored of Shadowbringer's story

Yeeeah I also still see her as a kid. I mean, the twins haven't physically grown at all from the start. So the idea is indeed revolting. It would be the same with Ryne (who also displays adoration towards the protagonist).

The problem is that Yoshida himself has stated that they written her on purpose to be seen that way. (As in either friend or someone that is in love with the WoL) Ryne still feels more pure on that part because she does not show any kind of jealousy towards other people liking us which is shown quite a bit with Alisaie.

I am also not sure why they did that. I know younger people can fall in love with older ones, but in a game where they dont let us be teenager because they fear bad press if people use it for lewd stuff, I am a bit surprised that they made a clearly underage character into someone that can be easily seen as in love with us.

It sounds indeed very controversial.
And yeah, younger people can fall for older, for example, as a kid I had a crush on my sister's friend, who was 18, but sure as hell if it was returned it would have been creepy. The same way, I'd feel it equally creepy if the WoL had a thing for Alisae. Or for Alphinaud for that matter, since the WoL can be any gender and sexual orientation.

Eh, there's a difference between having a crush and "fangirling". And to me, the latter is what Alisae does. The WoL is basically a celebrity. Heck, if I was in close proximity to a celebrity I like I would be pretty excited too, bordering on giddy. That doesn't mean I have a crush. It just means I really like that person and what they are associated with.
