This entry doesn't have anything to do with Alternative Character Interpretation, which is about different interpretations of a character and what makes them tick. It's perfectly fine to be uncomfortable with how the series presents certain relationships, but that's already covered under more fitting tropes like Squick and Values Dissonance.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The manga goes out of its way to present nearly every deviant relationship as true love, and avoids sexual expressions of any kind (even kissing) to ensure it all comes across with innocence. Much of the audience, having no truck with the saccharine presentation, points out that if these relationships aren't sexual now, they will be at ''some'' point.

* ValuesDissonance: This series has an astonishingly casual view of May/December teacher/student relationships, which would had induced a lot more uproar if it was released in an era past its own. Sakura's mother and father met when he was a high school teacher and she was a highschool student. Sakura's older brother and his (student) teacher had a brief romance, but dropped it for reasons that had nothing to do with age inappropriateness and more with [[spoiler: her leaving ''and'' knowing that they'd fall for others]]. One of Sakura's prepubescent classmates, Rika, has a crush on their teacher... and in the manga, he returns it! And this is shown as romantic and dreamy. Nelvana even changed a line about Rika liking Mr. Terada to her ''fearing'' him, which is rather needless anyway since the anime has him completely oblivious to her PrecociousCrush. Upon the release of the ''Clear Card'' arc in 2016, Rika is written out in the sequel, ostensibly because her voice actress passed away, with CLAMP claiming that no one else could match the original voice performance, but it's more likely to avoid any uncomfortable implications concerning Rika's relationship with her teacher.

Yeah, the bias was miserably strong in this one. And make no mistake, I'm not supportive of teacher-student or incestuous romances, but I'm pretty sure we can mention them neutrally without resorting to Trade Snark or derogative amplifiers

Not an example. Fan Preferred Couple requires the preferred couple in mind to be more popular than the Official Couple. Based on some research I've made, the official pairing of Sakura/Syaoran is far more popular and prevalent in fan works than Sakura/Tomoyo.

Its [[SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing particularly well-made dub and adaptation]] makes it stand out as well.
* GirlShowGhetto: Averted, as the series is very feminine due to the MagicalGirl plot but also well-acclaimed thanks to its engaging characters (and the fact that Tomoyo designs costumes just so she can throw Sakura into them), interesting story, and some dark undertones. Some haters though may accuse the series of not being all that good due to its normally bright and idealistic nature and in-universeromance... pretty much romance. Hence why ''Cardcaptors'', the edited dub, exists.

* ValuesDissonance: This series has an astonishingly casual view of May/December teacher/student relationships, which would had induced a lot more uproar if it was released in the present. Sakura's mother and father met when he was a high school teacher and she was a highschool student. Sakura's older brother and his (student) teacher had a brief romance, but dropped it for reasons that had nothing to do with age inappropriateness and more with [[spoiler: her leaving ''and'' knowing that they'd fall for others]]. One of Sakura's prepubescent classmates, Rika, has a crush on their teacher... and in the manga, he returns it! And this is shown as romantic and dreamy. Nelvana even changed a line about Rika liking Mr. Terada to her ''fearing'' him, which is rather needless anyway since the anime has him completely oblivious to her PrecociousCrush. Upon the release of the ''Clear Card'' arc in 2016, Rika is written out in the sequel, ostensibly because her voice actress passed away, with CLAMP claiming that no one else could match the original voice performance, but it's more likely to avoid any uncomfortable implications concerning Rika's relationship with her teacher.
** The series also seems to subtly justify the Rika/Terada pairing by implying that Rika is WiseBeyondHerYears - an excuse that a LOT of predators use for being attracted to/having relationships with children and other vunerable people.
