What's even the point of "self-insert"?

It's dumb and makes no sense, if I am a 30 years old obese neckbeard then how the hell can I even imagine myself being a good looking high school student?

Self-insertion is a Western meme. Westerners think in terms of self-insertion and project that onto the Japanese, and the meme has gotten out of hand so now almost any male protagonist is deemed a "self-insert."

You're not supposed to look yourself in the mirror in you're a haremfag brev

If you're that insecure about it then get your ass on the treadmill and lay off the Twinkies

Makoto's not a self-insert, he's the goal we should all strive to be.

8 Makoto - Denpa Onna
13 Makoto - Boats
26 Saito - Zero no Tsukaima
I'd argue both Makoto's are actually decent protagonists. Denpa onna's makato being one of the best characters in his show while Mankoto is only a good character in hindsight. Saito is shit after season 2 but before this he's a decent ecchi protag.

Why is Makoto on that chart, he's one of the most memorable anime characters of all time.

I am a handsome 19 year old and i cant self insert as an average disgusting beta jap student, i cant enjoy harem anime at all.

This just screams that whoever made this chart never actually saw the anime. He's a league or two above all others on the chart
