Is everyone just sexist??

I fullu understand that characters can be annoying but what's with the hate towards female characters in action?? A female character could literally be legitimate and helpful but she'll be called a bitch bc the readers feel threatened by a 2d girl stealing their man.

But when a male character shows up in the same manner he's helpful and a good part of the team??

I mean I'd wager 95% of shounen and seinen action manga writers have never even breathed next to a woman and have very weird/no ideas of what women could possibly be like which tends to make a lot of female characters weird by extension. And from that 5% like 2% are the women who write shounen and seinen lol (like FMA or D. Gray Man) and they can b...... reply

fear of having romance in the story??? other than that I think it's misogyny. if the reader think the Female character annoying while on other hand likes the male character, it's either them being a fujoshit/fudashit or yeah, misogynist. 2 reply

A lot of us arent sexist its jut we dont want to see women in most of the genre because theyre only put there to be saved, are useless, or just hella over sexualized and annoying. There are a lot of good female leads or side characters but lets be realistic it gets annoying when a new girl with the appearance of a child has boobs the size of bowlin...... reply

It's because most authors are male and have no idea how to properly write female characters. Male writers can come up with tons of reason for guys to fall in love with girls. But when trying to think up reasons for girls to fall in love with boys, they draw a blank. So they usually just make up some ridiculous and/or shallow reason. Modern storyte...... reply

Nah, i can sometimes like females in action but thats few and far inbetween. No i don't feel "threatened" by female charas if they show up, bonus points if they are useful.

my biggest reason is, whenever a female character is introduced she would most probably end up being the love interest, and that annoys me. see if its a good action with reasonable romance i get it, but when they just force it, it makes the female charac desperate for love iygwim plus the female charac in action have so much fanservice that it pi...... 1 reply

Most ppl aren’t saying it for that reason. There will be some with that reasoning, there always is, but imo it’s not the main reason. It’s bc female characters in action manhwas are often horrifically written, written and drawn from the male-gaze, often sex objects (tho not always), and lack the sort of characterisation given to male characte...... reply

It's because a well written female character that won't eventually become a potential love interest in an action series is near impossible. A phrase that I like to use is "I like her as a character, hate her as a love interest." This is because most romance in action is poorly written and shoe horned in. ALSO, whenever a good character becomes t...... reply
