/a/ was one of the best moderated boards with the most elitism (good and bad).
It's taken a step down over the last year though.

Naruto threads, one piece threads, and waifuspam are taking over.

>I have seen a grand total of 10 anime.

There's several genres that explicitly rely on female leads. Even without that, Evangelion, easily one of the most popular anime of all time, immediately comes to mind as a show full of useful women.
Have you only watched entry-level shonen and drawn a baseless conclusion off of that?

It always was, but when did comics stop promoting strong moral values ? I don't know much about comics, it was never that popular here.

But there are several genres in anime that require a female lead, and Evangelion is both one of the most popular anime of all time and has several women that are essential to what happens in the show. I don't understand.

shonen means 'boy' and seinen means 'young man'. These anime are for boys and men in the first place

Anime work with trends in stereotypes because it survives solely by the audience. If the audience is getting tired of the "damsel in distress" type of woman, anime attends these demands and start to create lolis with huge swords.

That doesn't happen so fluidly with western comics like Marvel and DC.

It goes back to Ancient Greek stories of tall, bare breasted, strong thighed women. That fetish has continued in western culture.
