Well, as I noted before, 4 triangles is such a ridiculously low sample-size that I wouldn't bother arguing that way, especially considering there was just one of the 2 male, 1 female type in question.
Not to mention: that's if the proposed triangle fits the trope in the first place.
Personally, I'd have argued that, assuming their characters remained as they are in the series we did get, the 'what-if' Alto-Ranka-Brera triangle doesn't actually fit the premise of the trope anyway.
Or, at least, not in the form that Thess was arguing.
