[Discussion] Feminism in Anime

[Yubel]

Over the years the ecchi genre have grown and so have the wimpy gay main characters who can't string a sentence together infront of a girl who consistently provokes him while he endures and bows down like a little *****. Where the hell have things gone wrong after the 90's? Back then we used to have male and female characters with self respect. The ecchi genre was almost nonexistant, we used to look at how good a character is and not how big her tits is. Also series like prison school might've been interesting during the first episode(I've read the manga two years ago but I have a different perspective now) but after that it piss me off how the guys are basically worshipping these thots.

Nowadays we all need to settle with reboots of old 90/80's series and other series from that time(HxH 2011, Dragon Ball Super, Parasyte, One Piece, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure). Obviously there are a few exceptions to this like OP Man and Toriko that are awesome but they lack the great layer of characterization that went on in 90's series. What the hell is going on?

This is probably why I've grown less interested in anime as the years gone by, this needs to stop.

Exactly my thoughts! I really like fairy tail and its story and the friendship between all of the characters is so heart warming but after seeing Lucy and all the girls naked and all the sexual humor makes me so nauseous. I just want to say it ruins the spice of the story! But we can't do anything about it the feminists and freedom of speech and thoughts is all but dominated and controlled by immoral people who just want to do what they want to do in the name of feminism and freedom of speech or whatever! I strongly believe that feminists DO NOT PROTECT WOMEN THEY WANT TO OFFICIALLY EXPLOIT WOMEN IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE!!!!
I am very happy that Kishimoto is a man of morals! Thats why Naruto is the best anime ever!

Here's a suggestion: don't watch ecchi anime. It's bound to offend you.

You site shonen anime though when bringing up the awesome 90/80s series. An ecchi anime, is going to pander to their audience which tends to be people looking for skin. Shonen is more action oriented, compared to ecchi which will have more fanservice.

After the 90s lol, there were tons of harem anime with the wimpy guy barely able to get out a sentence. First one that comes to mind is the entire Tenchi Muyo! series. I wasn't a fan of the whole harem anime simply because I didn't like the characters so I don't have numerous names to pull out of a hat but all you really need to do is look up harem anime from the 90s, that's pretty much the ecchi equivalent. Anyway that's what you're comparing shonen to ecchi/harem anime imo.

Secondly, I think a big part of why you see things the way you do is you're seeing things through nostalgia goggles. Things were great, because they were great, happens to me all the time.

NGE is a really popular, monumental even, anime from the 90s and Shinji is a little *****.

 

[Romezio]

Ya'll gotta chill with all this political shit and just enjoy the content. If you don't like a genre then don't watch it. If the human body makes you nauseous I think you might want to look in the mirror.

Agreed with most of what you said, shitty echi/harem are taking over, women are portrayed as violent *** objects that tend to either act bossy/ ridiculously dominating.

@User above me: shinji was a ****ing beast for a 14 years old who was treated like that

Doesn't he choke the life out of that one chick because she won't love him back?

Also, we're not going to mention Giant Naked Rei, are we?

Dude, I was thinking this exact same thing the other day. Think you might be interested. Otaku culture is taking over and Japan's strange sexual repression is affecting our people too.

Not quite sure you got End of Evangelion...it's about this very subject.

I honestly don't even remember NGE was one show I watched as a kid so I fogot most of what happened, but I remember couple of moments where he went savage.

So you are watching material that IS classified as Erotica .... and complaining about erotic materials and little substance.

Its totally not like that other Genres and other animes that exist that caters to different tastes.

It's totally not like weird repressed sexuality and themes spreads to all the mainstream big 4.

 

[CrimsonReaper]

is that how you define feminism?? :lol

Female representation in media? Sounds like a feminist issue to me.

what?? what does this have to do with his thread?? im obviously confused is he saying that there's feminism in anime or that anime needs feminism?? :|

 

[shelke]

That's the problem with most media. I have noticed that most female characters across all mediums are very badly written and are mostly designed to pander to the whims of a very average individual.

 

[Anorien16]

Mainstream 'Big 4' totally means 'Top 4 Quality Mature Anime'. (Like the Music Industry)
Its totally not like the 'Big 4' is actually 'Big Shonen 4'.
Its totally not like fanservice is not a marketing strategy.

Second. Or just respect in general, it ain't hard to understand if you read the thread.
