There's something nice about seeing a male and female character having a close sibling love without it having to be romantic. While I have nothing against the ship, I always tend to hear the argument, both for fire emblem and for other series, of "what if it was between a man and a woman, then you would read it as romantic" which I think is a problem itself. I don't see them having a romantic relationship, especially considering that I think that Ike wouldn't want that kind of thing (which may also speak to someone). Me personally, Ike and Soren having this brotherly love for each other speaks to me a lot more, just as them having a more romantic relationship speaks to others. Despite being straight, I have had close bonds with other guys, genuine love that people have mistaken for being gay as hell, lol. I grew up, as many did, basically being taught that guys don't get emotional and shit. Me personally, I always saw it as a brotherly love which I consider to be a much stronger bond than anything romantic.
