Because it's always been that way.

It is Mandatory because you can tell if she is a girl like me that their is hope for a man like the phantom who is a musician and is a social outcast or different because She like myself are drawn to men for their light and heart not their reason of being out landed or socially being outlawed to having basic rights of true love for any reasons of faulted worldliness to what I see and believe is torment and abandonment of men by worldly women like Carlotta of Prima Diva Nature . Christine of Learning Beauty Hope has yet to learn to love the Phantom and must learn to love him for the Phantom is her true love and she is his forever and always truly. or different but for who they are as a man and human being as a whole. Christine must learn to Love as Belle to the Phantom as Beast and Marry Him For They are the Story to of True Love as i Beauty in the Beast the Phantom and his Christine are the same truly and equally in fervor, love, marriage, compassion with true love's kiss too :)

Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions. As long as you like anything associated with Phantom of the Opera, you're considered a Phan.
