Well yes, of course. I do very little but draw nowadays, and you know I'm not the biggest fan of Shonen, so I'm very nit picky. Perhaps it goes against the typical quota of a Harem series or whatnot, but if I can identify it as a harem situation, then its hard to go further. Even Steins; Gate has a harem vibe, and I wouldn't have finished that series if I realized it beforehand, and looking back, its probably one of the few bad qualities of the series to me.

"   Harem: A genre that indicates you can expect multiple female characters in the lead from time to time who interact with the MC. This interaction doesn't necessarily indicate a romantic undertone, but can just indicate respect, idolizing or looking up to or just a hard earned friendship between these female characters & the MC."

For these very reasons, I leave it be. It doesn't have to be sexualized or romanticized for it to turn me off to it. I've never once seen a real life version of a harem, and while thats not any major fuel to my reasoning, I just find the concept hard to believably depict.
