>Japanese female character

Embodies the best of the female gender. A character that emphasises gender-specific traits and using them in a positive manner. A female character will be feminine and do the best of her femininity. The female gender is seen as sweet, elegant and powerful. Female character is often charismatic and empathetic, while also having a moral backbone to carry her.

>Western female character

Looks like a man. Acts like a man. Generally has a cocky attitude to show that "she" needs no man. Happens to have a vagina. Indirectly stating that a woman is strong only if she acts and looks like a man.


Why do western devs hate female traits?
>>
Because western feminism has been hijacked by insecure hambeasts who can't stand to look at girls prettier than them.
>>
FF series has better female characters than the entire western game output alone. Western devs can't understand how to design proper girls.
>>

This is what feminism just doesn't understand. By refusing to make women in media feminine AND strong, you're devaluing women and empowering women who act like men, thus perpetuating the patriarchy.

A matriarchy isn't a good idea because it is a ruling body comprised of women who act like men, it's a great idea because they're women WHO ACT LIKE WOMEN.

But that's usually the best girl in a Japanese game.

I really, truly don't see what the issue is with femininity. It should be seen as a good thing, especially since it's pretty much exclusive to females, and yet a very loud set of people hate it with a passion, most of which are female. I don't understand it at all.

Mercedes is still a woman and acts like a woman. She wants to fit in a very patriarchal and masculine world but fails and is mocked for it. In a western game, she'd be commanding armies and everyone would be kissing her ass and she'd be great at everything including being the strongest person ever.

There are differences between male and female though.
Men look stupid with handbags over their forearm, cause back when we were hunter-gatherer women gathered stuff with their bags.
A limb between the legs makes some movements more uncomfortable for men than for women
Even trained women won't surpass average men much, no wonder they're portrayed as more timid and reserved

On a psychological level, there might also be stuff like competetiveness. Women are a lot less likely to fully dive into something just to get good at it.

Japan's relationship with women is a lot healthier than it ever was in the west. Some of Japan's greatest cultural heroes were women, and despite heavy influences from China and confucianism it never developed the view that women are somehow less 'human' than men. Women are treated as equals to men intellectually, inferior physically, but superior spiritually/emotionally.
Feminist enjoy shitting on anime for too often pandering to penises, but fail to realize that anime actually has had more strong female characters than any western media. Real, genuinely strong characters that weren't just granted power because they had a vagina (either in-universe, or due to ideological influences outside of it).
>>
>>343501672
>Why do western devs hate female traits?

Games are propaganda just like any other media. Femininity isn't useful to TPTB, so it's denigrated.

Only time when women are encouraged to be feminine is when someone wants to sell them girly shit.
>>
First time I have to agree 100% with OP. It made me remember sometime ago when a text with the title "The woman that men don't want to marry" which is basically saying that the author was a woman that was just opposed to everything that would be feminine and all women were sharing it on Facebook as they were different from everyone else.

Men are men and women are women. We are equal as human beings but different at the same time. Women today glorifiy themselves saying that they can't cook, they don't wanna have babies, they don't wanna wear bra and high heels. Why does all of this is bad? Why someone is proud of being unable to make food?

TL:DR Women should be women, and act like a women, that's what will be nice about. Seeing a girl who acts like a man just to prove to herself that she needs no man it's just pathetic. You don't see men acting like a women to prove that they don't need one. Also, the new Tomb Raiders have Laura right.

Hervibore men are a result of downright oppressive and exploitative Japanese society that literally works young men to death and it is expected of you to be thankful for it and quiet, bearing it without a complaint. It's a society where your personal life ends after you hit 18 and you become a wageslave permanently and where starting a family is career suicide. Before making such statements you ought to actually be educated on the issue you're trying to talk about. So the men of Japan have two choices. Either work themselves to death and then start a family living from scraps. Or retreat into hedonism and escapism from the horrid reality and consume entertainment that strives to captivate the best years of their life that have been already lived out (this is why so many anime MC's are typical high school students). We are talking about a place that is one of the leaders in world suicide rates, on part with eastern European shitholes, despite one of the highest living standards in the world. A place where there is a forest dedicated to suicides whose trees bear curses of people that have too tired to go on in this nonsense.

Strength and confidence have always been considered masculine traits.

But they aren't inherently GOOD traits. They often are, but not necessarily.

A woman can be a good character with more typically feminine traits. She does not require those masculine traits to be considered a good character, nor is she automatically a good character for possessing those traits.

Slapping these masculine traits hamfistedly onto a female character is not progressive. It diminishes the individuality of the female gender and the good that it brings to the medium of storytelling.

I think that the "weakness" in this case should be attributed to developed societies at large giving women a full scale of freedoms without endowing them with any responsibilities.

Women are pretty much bound to become garbage at this stage of history regardless of how masculine men of this generation/nation are.

'Strength and confidence' only seems strictly masculine because people think it means "macho with big muscles"

A woman can simply be confident in her skills as a mother or artist, and even be strong in her will to overcome a deep insecurity or addiction

Once you look past the standard conception of these terms its easy to see how its only a persons perception that limits what can be done with a character, or anything really

There is nothing wrong with females in Japanese games except their physiques are just unrealistic for what they do.
Take tifa for example, she's a brawler and she lifts heavy objects easily her physique should be like pic related.
But instead she's like a run way model with no scars or bruises you'd expect on brawler like tifa, which along with barbie hurt the self esteem of women gamers(who make up 60% of the gamer market)

>>
>>343507948
Hurts the self esteem of delusional subhuman creatures that cannot differentiate between fantasy and reality you mean. And no, Tifa's physique should not be like this. This is not a brawler, this a mutant utterly devoid of functional strength. Olympic bodybuilders would get absolutely fucked decked by an average boxer because they actually suffer from a limited range of motion because of the obscene size of their muscles.

That's not a thing in japanese media, since female characters don't actually have to prove anything.
The settings are usually made so there's no difference in capabilities between women and men and gender is irrelevant.

The context of society can't change the biological makeup of what makes masculine and feminine traits.

For a completely different reason though. Or are you going to accuse the west of an "anime epidemic" as well? Yes, it's the anime at fault, of course it has to be the anime! I mean, how could it be anything but the anime. Definitely not lack of education or proper parenting with trash unfit to be in control of their own lives pumping out kids and creating similar creatures ignorant of hardship and responsibility. Or governments that don't even bother with the "governing" aspect - only the privileges that come with being elected into office aka free money they can pocket. Nope, it has to be the anime.

Of course. But, picking up on context, if you say a character is "strong and confident", you do not generally picture a motherly painter. In the context of most of these discussions, most of the time people will be talking about characters with prominent external conflict, moreso along the lines of bravery against an adversary than bravery within one's conscience.

Well then, you're asking to change the language. Which is possible, but still not the problem in regards to identifying which traits are better suited for male or female characters.

Can a good "strong female character" exist? Absolutely. It's been done before and will be done again, among a sea of horrible characters as well.

But can a good female character exist without being strong? I don't see why not. I don't see why strong needs to be the qualifier for a good character, nor the fixation with female characters specifically.

According to western critics, a female character is only good if she's STRUNG. Never mind that she is basically a robot. Just look what they did to Game of Thrones.

I see what you mean now. In the context of character writing "strong" just means well defined, for me.

I'd be willing to say that woman who takes abuse from her boyfriend out of some strange delusion that he wants whats best for her is a "strong character", in that her disposition is clearly defined and her story is very much born from it. Her actions or lack thereof will lead her through the story to some inevitable end.

A weak character for me is one that is poorly defined and seems to serve no particular purpose to the plot.

What did they do in the show? The last thing I remember happening in the books is her being hung by zombie Catelyn.

She went from a kind-heated woman doing her best to be an honorable knight to something of a stuck-up shebitch who kills people without flinching.

Some of her character remains, but it irks me so much that they made her a killing machine when the books made a VERY BIG DEAL out of her killing someone for the first time.
