In Japan, the concept of a strong woman is different from western, jewish led feminism.

Strong women, to them, doesn't mean they're trying to out do, disrespect, or compete with men. As strong women, they're still loyal to the social fabric woven from the male-female familial union. That is, generally, they don't view family, relationships, and marriage as a disgrace to them as women
>>
>>27283581

Also, strong women in anime are frequently subverted with gap moe where the woman reverts to childish behavior/affectations for the purpose of sexual excitement.

In Japan, women aren't insufferable cunts and know that anime and video games are just for fun and relaxing and mainly for men. They don't give a shit if the women in them are half naked and have huge tits, where American women would lose their shit if something like Senran Kagura aired on US television. The newest Dead or Alive Extreme isn't coming the the US because of feminist whores, but Jap women don't care because it's just a game. Also the weak girl who must be saved is present in a fair amount of shows. In the Fate series, it's Sakura. They even joke about it in one of the spin offs.

Anime is anti-feminist. The characters are feminine, which is abhorrent to feminists. There's quite a lot of so-called sexualization, which is abhorrent to feminists. The characters are also attractive and their personalities are the opposite of feminists (i.e. they are not subhuman pieces of shit), and that's not very feminist either. Anime is also unconcerned with Western ideas of political correctness, which makes it highly problematic.

>>27283337
There are many kinds of anime characters. Some of them are "dominant," others are not.

what kind of bullshit have you been watching.

Most anime that I've seen involves girls being constantly accidentally groped/molested by the main character, like he's running down a hallway in school and runs head-first into her titties and they fall down and he lands with boths of his hands on her titties and she's all IIIEEEEE~ but she's secretly all uuu~ kimochi~

and then occasionally there's tentacle monsters.
The only legit "feminist" anime that I've seen was love live because it passed that Keurig test or whatever it's called. Where there's more than one woman character and they talk to each other about things other than men.

But then again Love Live is about girls aspiring to be idols which is a terrible life for women, so yeah.

It's the Bechdel test, and most anime "pass" it with flying colors since anime has a disproportionate amount of female characters. Passing it doesn't make something feminist though.
>>
>>27286078
The content of their works is still the same, though the most successfull anime are in 90% of cases adaptions from light novels if you exclude shounen crap like Naruto, which are written by men, like Date a Live for example, it was a pretty big success.

well no, because they can all be sitting around about how they like shoes and make-up and wish they weren't so fat and were skinny like their idols. Not really an empowering "go be a scientist if you want to" feminist message.
>>
>>27286303
Feminism is a political ideology and didn't invent the concept of women talking about things other than men. Female characters discussing the weather or how they're going to save Mega Tokyo IV from aliens is not feminism.

Following your logic, Boku no Pico is literally the anti-feminism work for excellence of our century because there're no females in it.

I think people who try to claim Bayonetta as some feminist icon are just trying to justify her, like "I watch porn for the plot!" A lot of people think that "fanservice" needs to be justified by some narrative or thematic cause and can't exist for its own sake.

I'd consider very few anime to be "feminist" or even "doesn't portray women as fantasy sex objects".

Psycho Pass does a good job. Cowboy Bebop is pretty great too. Faye Valentine is sexual in her appearance, but that's her character. I think most women don't get too annoyed by sexual characters, they get annoyed by characters that aren't supposed to be sexual being sexualizes (like a school teacher showing up with a super short skirt and cleavage, an assassin wearing barely nothing, or a 13 year old little sister bending over in a bikini constantly).

It's also annoying when scrawny beta dudes with no real personality are for some reason really good at (activity) and every woman they encounter falls in love with him. I get that it's. Ale escapism, but don't try and pass it off as an actually good story. Looking at you, SAO.

A "feminist" anime doesn't need women that can fight, women that aren't sexy or whatever. It's an anime where women have their own personalities and goals that aren't centered around getting a guy. Or even worse, having goals and a personality but THEN going all moe or tsundere once meeting their fated small dicked beta. It's cheap.

Also gratuitous fanservice is annoying. Mostly because fanservice for dudes is so cheap. Like, oh look, boobs. Like they're rare or something. WE ARE NOT IN A BOOB DROUGHT.

It's actually you who treats female characters as fantasy sex objects.

>I think most women don't get too annoyed by sexual characters, they get annoyed by characters that aren't supposed to be sexual being sexualizes
Japanese women don't have any problem with them and are often the ones creating them. And who is to say what characters are supposed and not supposed to be "sexualized"? Anime isn't reality and doesn't follow the same principles as Western fiction.

>It's also annoying when scrawny beta dudes with no real personality are for some reason really good at (activity) and every woman they encounter falls in love with him.
You find "beta" males so repulsive that you don't even want fictional "beta" male characters being attractive to fictional female characters. Hilarious.

And I'm guessing that your definition is "beta" is "a character that is not the very embodiment of Chad stereotypes."

>I get that it's. Ale escapism, but don't try and pass it off as an actually good story.
It could be a good story, but I guess "beta" males make you too upset.

>A "feminist" anime doesn't need women that can fight, women that aren't sexy or whatever. It's an anime where women have their own personalities and goals that aren't centered around getting a guy.
That doesn't make something feminist.

>Or even worse, having goals and a personality but THEN going all moe or tsundere once meeting their fated small dicked beta. It's cheap.
This is incredible.

Just admit you're jerking off to your beta male escapism and we will be good. We are all friends in 2D obsession here. I fully admit that, even if my yaoi has a great story, I will not pretend it's not porn.

Like the Dramatical Murder or Sweet Pool VN. It may have been written by Gen Urobuchi, and have great characters, but I'm not going to pretend for a second that the story wasn't crafted with fujo fantasies in mind.

>shaming male sexuality
I literally worked for an adult company for years as an executive. Male sexuality is so hilarious and cheap I can't help but pity men. Literally a pair of disembodied boobs get a man to click on a website and use money he made working all day to see a pair of boobs. On the Internet. Where boobs are free. Men will literally risk prison and STDs to PAY to have sex with women, even supporting a huge human trafficking industry worldwide. Say what you want about fujo bait but we are definitely the minority compared to thirsty dudes. It's unfortunately why we don't have as much of a selection.

>muh 50 shades of grey
Oh please. At least a book, not matter how trashy it is or horrible written, needs more effort than a disembodied female body part.
>>
There aren't any anime made to appeal feminism, though there're anime that happen to have feminism traits in them, but if you objectively look at the contents, according to the femenazi everything is sexist, this includes: girls that are physically not fat and girls that show strong european standards; both numerous even in moe anime where no boys appear at all nor there're girl interested in boys (eg. every yuri ever made). If you add the "patriarchy" influence as well, then the number of non-feminism-approved elements will only keep increasing: girls with calm and quiet character, girls with long hair, girls who take care of their body, etc... just go ask Anita, I'm sure she'll find elements even when there're none, stop kidding yourself op.

Meanwhile in the real world women will cheat on their partner or even torpedo their entire family because some bad boy or player gave them the tingles and they couldn't help themselves. Get off your high horse.

>At least a book, not matter how trashy it is or horrible written, needs more effort than a disembodied female body part.
Anime doesn't have disembodied female body parts in it, and it takes hundreds of professionals over a year of work and >12 hour days to make even the most basic ecchi anime.

Incidentally, what sells the most in anime to male otaku is not ecchi but characters. Ecchi anime doesn't sell particularly well, while the likes of Love Live are super popular.

I guess you're just assuming I care about shaming male sexuality, or that "muh shaming" is even a valid argument.

I shame men all the time.

Love Live is jerk off fodder for otaku. Just because it's not literal porn doesn't mean it's not contrived to sell more merchandise and ad space and get more guys like you to blow your wad over it, therefore increasing their revenue and their return on the investment. The thing is , men are so easily catered to. Look at Kill La Kill. Literally underage girls 95% naked, instantly popular with men everywhere.

They know what they're doing. They know that men will spend $$$ on their masturbation fantasies.

And again, why are you so triggered by this? Why does the notion of anime being dominated by female characters bother you so much? You clearly don't watch anime.

>>27289343
> guess you're just assuming I care about shaming male sexuality
That's what you've been doing all along.

>Love Live is jerk off fodder for otaku.
It isn't. Moe is first and foremost about romantic attraction, and only secondarily about sexual attraction. Moe-type shows have little to no ecchi in them. You are just projecting your own warped obsession with sex onto other people.

>contrived to sell more merchandise and ad space and get more guys like you to blow your wad over it
How do you know what the writer, character designer, director, producers and animators were thinking when they developed it? You don't. You are just projecting your own hatred of the series onto the creators.

>The thing is , men are so easily catered to.
Again, get off your high fucking horse you dumb slut.

>Look at Kill La Kill. Literally underage girls 95% naked, instantly popular with men everywhere.
Again, ecchi anime generally does not sell particularly well. There are many shows far more explicit than KlK that have sold less copies and attained far less fame. KlK's ecchi is blown out of proportion anyway by people like you who have a warped obsession with sex. Judging by your comments I find it unlikely you've ever even watched it.

Also underage is a totally meaningless concept in anime, and is not very meaningful in real life either.

>>27289474
Yes. Your point?

I despise KLK... I'm one of those who would jerk to LL but something about KLK is just disgusting to me, the animation was so bad anyway it gave me a headache at some point, dropped at episode 3 or something like that.

It's common sense to anyone who actually watches anime. It's an inescapable fact of anime. Male characters are disproportionately represented and popular in anime. This is common sense to anyone who actually watches it.

>implying romantic attraction and sexual attraction isn't the same for men

We're done here.

>>27289546
I always kind of got the idea that most popular main characters were men, but there are many female side characters. Just for examples: Naruto, Bleach, SnK, etc.

>>27289643
Answer my question. Why are you so butthurt over this? What is your agenda here?

>>27289655
>implying romantic attraction and sexual attraction isn't the same for men
Again: moe is primarily romantic attraction and secondarily sexual attraction. Your opinion on the matter is irrelevant.

Not that anon but, out of the 15-20 series airing every season (excluding the shorts of course), at least 2/3 have a cast with most female characters, many have only females and almost none have only male, the others are mixed or have irrelevant/unnoticeable rate of male/female characters.

Still, this doesn't mean that any of these anime is feminist, it's just that the vast majority of anime is written or directed by straight japanese men, who are usually unmarried therefore like to imagine and write stories about characters that resemble themselves (in this case the so called "beta male lead" that people always complain about), who live a better life than theirs, for example being surrounded by cute girls (therefore anime with mostly female cast), who have affection for said main character/lead.

Anime is a kind media that it's not "targeted" to male audience, but it's made by males and therefore it's more easy for a male audience to get engorssed into it, because they can personify/project themselves easily with one or more characters.

You have me all wrong. I love the quiet, shy, tsundere megane types that are horrible with interpersonal relationships but obsess over their partner in an almost yandere fashion.

Pic related. Scrawny Fushimi isn't exactly the image of Chad.

>abusive father
>social outcast due to his personality and upbringing
>trouble understanding or caring about others
>only cares about one person, to the point of unhealthy obsession
>constantly seeks validation from this one person and reacts violently when he can't grab their attention

I love me some unhealthy meganes.

This idea of anime protagonists being self-inserts for the viewer is a Western idea. Westerners are all about self-insertion and projecting real or imagined reality onto works of fiction. In many "otaku" works, there are no male characters at all and thus no obvious means of self-insertion. Some otaku will cosplay ("crossplay") as a character of the opposite gender because they like the character so much they want to become her.

People are also fixated on this idea that every male protagonist in a harem setting is exactly the same kind of "beta male," when that is not actually true. Those characters vary and are not all the same.

You're also overestimating the maleness of anime. Hidamari Sketch, Yuru Yuri, Kiniro Mosaic and Sakura Trick were authored by women, Tamako Market was made by an all-female team, and K-On's team was also heavily female. iDOLM@STER was co-written by a woman, while Cinderella Girls was directed and co-written by a woman. Love Live's original concept was developed by a woman, and one of the character designers was a woman. And so on. And then there's all kinds of anime that's adapted from manga and games aimed at girls and women.

Sociopath? I don't think so. He cares immensely for one person, but is horrible socially. Sociopaths often don't have empathy or manipulate people easily. He simply is bad at making friends or being comfortable around people.

I don't know if I'd call him mentally stable, but sociopath? Nah.

You have a very broad definition of Chad, anon. Is Chad any guy that's not hideously deformed?

It's also probably worth mentioning that I don't fantasize about being with my megane men. I want them to be with another man. I don't insert myself in any of my fantasies and the idea of them being heterosexual is a turn off.

For example, I don't like Light from Death Note. I'd argue he's an actual sociopath.

I also have a weakness for childhood friends turning yandere. Makoto from Sweet Pool was delightful. He rapes and cannabalizes his best friend at the end of his route, poor baby.

No no no, you've got this completely wrong. All anime shows is today are the state of the typical otakus.
An all female-cast is to either entice the otaku demographic or to make them feel moe. Not feminism
Strong female leads are the same.

Chads, Chads and more Chads. Chads as far as they eye can see. You don't think she wants any icky and gross beta males, do you?

I don't date. Intentionally. Men of all levels of attractiveness hit on me but I simply don't care for 3D men. I haven't dated anyone in four or five years (can't remember at this point), and I'm 24.

I know they are only attracted to me due to my youth and my appearance though, so there's no point in even humoring any man. I'd rather be alone forever than devote myself to a man who will eventually tire of me once I lose my youth.

You really don't have a single fantasy about sharing an intimate part of your life with someone?

Not in a blissful happily ever after way, because that's bullshit, but in a mutually supportive "warts and all" type relationship.
>>
>>27291490
No. Any possible "reward" is vastly overshadowed. It's like getting a small piece of candy for every piece of shit you have to eat. I'd rather not eat any shit.

I have my family and my friends.

Also I simply don't get wet for 3D men. I'd rather not subject myself to a life of dry, painful pity sex in exchange for a companion. I think it's not fair to do that to a man either.

Characters like Rukia are fine but the ripoff stuff like Mikasa trigger me sometimes because she is so empty/useless. There is no point in this bitch why not give her a personality a erase eren from this show...
