Literally every single Western teen girl character.
I'm starting to think the western writers have never EXPERIENCED joy and optimism so think this is what every girl is like.
This. Just 100 percent projection.
“I just wanna see…”
So write that story!
That would require more hard work and effort than video blogging about it for internet headpats, so highly unlikely unfortunately.
Is that actually taken from the vid? Because that's not how the character's name is spelled, there's no "u" on the end.
First, IT'S SHONEN! That means it's literally aimed at a male audience and almost 100% always has a male cast! Bleach, Naruto, MHA, Dragonball, etc. Go watch Inuyasha or some other Shojo manga/anime if you want a female cast!
Second, this literally describes several characters in MHA, they just happen to not be any of the 1-A classmates, and it's because the characters are actually written to be more than a one dimensional, bitchy girlboss type or something else.
Mirko the Number 5 Hero, and top female one, as well as Midnight who is one of the main teachers at the school.
The difference between those two and the main class cast being the class is made of up ~15 year olds who are neurotic as all hell most of the time and being stereotypical teenagers are angsty as fuck, while the aforementioned are adults!
Another big difference relates to what powers those two have compared to the class.
Mirko's power is essentially "human sized rabbit", although she's still only 5' 2". This means a lot of jumping around and kicking things, so a very upfront brawler type of character with a lot of smack talk, something she gets shown to have even when younger and before becoming an actual Pro-Hero in the Vigilantes "prequel" spinoff.
Midnight has "date rape, the power" where she exudes a gas that mesmerizes men so being an shounen this obviously gets played for laughs at time. Midnight uses this to incapacitate attacks then close in to arrest them. So both are fighters who get in close.
None of the female classmates can be considered a brawler/melee role, they're all either support or ranged which lends to a far more critical personality type rather than one who repeatedly shoots their mouth off, which various brawlers in the manga/anime do, men and women included: Bakugo, Deku, Todoroki, Idi, hell even Koichi from the Vigilantes spinoff is sometimes like this despite having a significant ranged toolkit.
Ashido: creates and throws acid
Asui: human frog/reptile/amphibian powers, brawler-lite but still a ~15 y/o girl therefore neurotic and lacking confidence [yet]
Uraraka: can nullify gravity in things she touches, originally wanted to be a hero to help her family's construction business because being able to make things weightless helps a fuckton when needing to move extremely heavy equipment
Jiro: has two speaker like earring/earlobes which can detect and emit various sounds
Hagakure: invisiblity
Yaoyorozu: can convert her own body matter into other things
None of those are powers that work up close because none of them can mitigate incoming attacks, with the sole exception of Asui because she can at least leap like a frog to GTFO!
There are several 1-B female classmates this can apply to but I don't expect the vblogger who did this piece to have actually made it past the first season.
Now compare that to the actual characters who fit the description:
Bakugo: everyone, and I do mean literally everyone, considers him to be a complete asshole because he's that competitive, sarcastic, hot-headed, and egotistic. So much so multiple groups, good and bad, think he's going to turn evil.
Todoroki: until Deku uses talk-no-jutsu to snap Todoroki out of his lone-wolf phase the character is distant, unwelcoming, and yet still the single most powerful character in the class at the start of the story through sheer raw power. For reasons later explained also on a potential path to becoming a villain.
So to quickly sum up, this blogger wants someone who can easily be mistaken for a villain, that nobody likes, but is OP and forces their way on others. Ironically that sums up several new Marvel and DC characters like Riri Williams, Shuri, and more, which isn't surprising at this point because modern comic writers are shit and have no actual ability to write anything with nuance which is why manga and anima repeatedly stomp them and dominate the market.
Also why Wokesters want to infiltrate said market.
tl;dr Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, normies!
Mmm, delicious rant. Been a while since I've read one so on point.
Somewhat related, are you going to finish your Bishop War College reviews with parts 4 and 5 being out?
No because issues 4 and 5, which came out while I took a month break from this site due to Imp related retardness, [ironically this happened like days before he received yet another 24 day ban], were unsurprisingly shit and the whole thing only lasted 5 issues which seems to be standard these days for shit spinoffs that get cancelled due to being predictably shit.
Understandable considering that 5 issues then cancelled format sums up the three attempts by Tina Howard to tell her awful Betsy Braddock/Captain Britain story with repeated attempts to degrade Brits throughout.
To be fair, that's a valid way to Romanize the character's name to indicate the long vowel. It's just not the official one.
Inuyasha technically is Shounen. It was published in Weekly Shounen Sunday alongside Detective Conan.
I'd argue that there are Shounen manga and anime like Inuyasha that are aimed at women as a secondary demographic that they would enjoy (e.g. Toilet-bound Hanako-kun) that they should be checking out instead of making these demands.
But a lot of girls and women are obsessed with MHA, particularly shipping the male characters together for their yaoi fanfics and art, and lack the self-awareness required to realize they aren't the primary audience and accept the story for what it is.
Gonna press X to doubt on that one.
The number of western women who think being sarcastic is a personality trait is too damn high.
Sarcasm is fine, and can be funny, but these women beat it to death within minutes and then it's just annoying.
A) Sounds like this bitch wants a mean girl schoolyard bully, so in essence a self-insert.
B) Fucking tourists. The only characters you could say have more than 50% overlap is Hagakure and Ochako and even that is stretching it. Momo, Jirou and Froppy are not bubbly nor cheerful. Also, all the hero characters are optimistic. If they weren't, they're either a background character or a villain.
Male gaze bad! (Admits female fan service exists in Shonen)
Patriarchy in Shonen! (Shōnen is a demographic term for manga and anime aimed mainly at early to late teen boys. Basically, between ages 12 and 18.)
So the sexist Shonen that the wahman is crying about is explicitly designed for teenage boys, not “adult” women.
These cunts cant stop completely self obliterating every “sexism” argument they make while devouring crap like fifty shades of grey and claiming patriarchy when we actually try to make something men enjoy.
Watch 20 minutes of it like I did if you really hate yourself. She literally says that any forms of sexualization to appeal to men is bad.
Did she play the game where male gaze is bad but appealing to women is ok?
I got 5 before the redundancy burnout and complete lack of self awareness of the “commentator”
I watched the first 20 minutes and the premise basically is "any sexualization of a female character in order to make a male audience satisfied is bad and objectification". And the comments (especially the top comments and the newest comments) really make me hate them all. Keep in mind that I can go on instagram right now and see hordes of women shaking their asses and showing themselves off or millions of viewers, but anime tits are whats genociding women. And fucking lol she says in the first 6 minutes that male fanservice is fine compared to female fanservice and that there is more female fanservice because of muh patriarchy. I really hate these people. I guess men liking sexy women in any media unless they are paying a real woman for it on a service is blasphemy nowadays.
10 seconds in from tone alone I can tell it's not going to offer good analysis and introspection.
There's PLENTY of women that their sex appeal comes second to other qualities, like Black Lagoon, their hotness comes second to the 'that bitch TERRIFIES ME!' qualities (the bloodhound is at the top of that list). Or on the flip side you have someone like Marin Kitagawa where the sex appeal is obvious but the personality she has kind of overrode it in why that character is important.
Basically it shows how shallow these kind of 'critics' are that they ONLY see sex appeal and nothing else.
Every blog post/video like this is just somebody who hates Japan and doesn't understand that they're watching shows aimed at teenage boys who live in a country where heterosexuality isn't (yet) frowned on by the people in charge of culture.
And that's a good thing.
Seriously, I'm tired of pretending that sexism is bad or wrong.
Don’t a lot of people in the anime community tell these people to pound sand?
these people will find ANY excuse to label something racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. https://i.imgflip.com/7iobbc.jpg
stop worrying about them labeling anything. they're just bullies trying to guilt you into giving them power, and their answer to everything is solidifying you as having no power via communism. mock them or ignore them. nothing less, nothing more.
This is a old argument, Why do you torment yourself by listening to this?
Because videos like these get a lot of likes and support and this sentiment is the basic consensus among feminists nowadays. And because I hate these people with everything.
Yes on feminist thought doctrine, although it's old as I said, Likes and support among the normies depends, most don't even think so they just agree to whatever seems most acceptably at time and youtube you got to wonder how much is gamed among likes and so on.
So is the ammunition you gain for watching this used?

Someone needs to reply to that first idiot "She's not going to fuck you, dude"
Someone needs to reply to that second idiot with a video essay calling them out and see what the response is.
