Tell that to Rumiko Takahashi.
So then why DID Sesshomaru get so angry about his father mating with Izayoi and having Inuyasha?
... Because he hates humans, and Inuyasha is a half breed.
Why is he so obsessed with getting all the best swords his father has and why does everything he do relate to his father in some way or another?
Because his Father was powerful, and he also has the desire for power. Also, it *is* quite natural to look up to your parent, especially a son looking up to their Father. There's a big difference between a bond between family members and a bond between lovers.
Let's just say that Sesshomaru was jealous of his Mother and of Inuyasha. It's not because his father got together with another woman because he was in love with his Father. It's because a human woman came into his life and took more of his attention and affection. This happens in the real world. It's like when a family of a Mother, Father, and child live together and the Mother births another child and the first child feels jealous that all of the focus is no longer on them. It doesn't mean anything romantic.
I would say the most canon choice for Sesshomaru, is Kagura. If you want to speak about him having true kindness buried deep inside himself, he showed it to her plenty of times.
Even Rin makes the statement that Sesshomaru has a strong attachment to Kagura. So yeeeah that's what I think about your essay, with no bashing as requested.
