Is it OK to recline your seat on a plane?

Your view now

ill just say it. 14 hours to manila, economy, and i recline the second the seatbelt sign goes off. the button is there. i paid for the seat and the seat goes back, thats the whole deal. i do it slow and i look back first. but i keep seeing people online acting like reclining makes you a criminal and i want to know if im the only one who thinks the problem is the airline, not the guy in 32C. so: is it ok or not?

first time posting here, but I did Dublin to Sydney in August and everyone reclined the second the lights went down and it was… fine? like a whole plane of people lying on each other and no fights. I think it's only a problem on short flights honestly

I used to be a never-recline person, felt very righteous about it. Then I did Melbourne to London with a bad back and reclined for twelve hours and the woman behind me didn't say a word and I felt like an idiot for the previous ten years. Yes. Just ask.
