What is this shoujo bonkers
hold up, what kind of shoujo do some fucking read that some users managed to convinced themselves that the shoujo genre is toxic because of female leads and characters?
Ahem excuse me but the question thread of why reasons people become interested in the bl genre is because the shoujo female leads are always portrayed to be bitchy. Bitchy how? Like how authors portray a lot of jealous characters? What's wrong with that? Could it be that when there's a female character you don't find appealing, some suddenly finds that bitchy?
Huh? What shoujos do yall read or something?
Like I've read a lot of good shoujos mangas in mangadex and I often cannot get how some* people would always look at that genre stereotypically for having a lot misportrayals when you can read some good ones.
Man, idk, this kinda sounds bonkers. I'm not trying to sound rude, I just don't like it when a good genre like shoujo is covered as a genre full of bitches to some* of people's views. It's that shoujo is a great genre for me, just because some people didn't have good experiences reading it or that they just don't find the entire genre appealing, they don't have to call it bonkers and toxic tho.
And you can answer this question...
What kind of shoujos do some* people read that they'd think the whole genre is bitchy and toxic?
A lot of old shoujo used to have bad female leads who were pretty useless, couldn’t stick up for themselves to save their lives, and always had to be saved by some asshole male lead. But most of the people complaining about shoujo nowadays are just fujoshis who haven’t read anything straight in years and pride themselves on saying “yaoi is be......

Because they don't like how female characters are treated and portrayed in shoujo even though they're A-okay with male characters being treated and portrayed the same way in other genres that may or may not be very prevalent on this site.

Weakness, submission as soon as the man shows up. If the author was generous enough to give them a proper personality, they often lose it.
The man is often manipulative and controlling, forcibly intrudes on that woman's life and choices.
The gentle, blushing waif who is just such a good and kind person who just wants to get married and have kids......

Oh i didn't know Shoujo has such bad reputation because i start reading Manga/Manhwa/Manhua last year but the Shoujos i read so far are not really bad though. In fact, there are so cute and fluffy. I have plenty of Shoujo that i really like and it's not even toxic. I don't care if the FL is physically weak and a damsel in distress( atleast they're ......

I don't like damsel in distress, useless characters (gender doesn't even matter, it's the personality and attitude as a whole) I mean it's fine to be weak but they don't even try and just rely on someone else, it's not just shoujo I've seen those characters in almost every genre.
The ML, in some shoujos that have romance the ML is a huge jerk and ......

Honnestly old shoujos were just really typically the female mc being weak and needing protection from the harem of men she attracted and went the typical way of "you need to choose one of us now", and... It gets kind of old. And as people pointed out, now most people who shat on shoujos are now on yaoi, which most of the time isn't better... Rememb......
