You Don’t Have to Kick Ass to Be Kickass: Shoujo fantasy and the value of the noncombatant hero

Over the decades, the number of fantastical stories starring female characters has slowly but significantly risen. As that number has gone up, so too have the number of lady action heroes. Girls and women are no longer relegated to the roles of “white mage” or “brainiac”; they can sling spells, slay vampires, and punch supervillains in the face right alongside the menfolk.

And this is a good thing—for the most part. As with any media trend, there are complications, chief among them the balance between combatant and noncombatant protagonists. It’s all well and good to physically defend others, but not everyone can or even wants to be an action hero. By depicting only combat-oriented protagonists, writers are subtly telling audiences that you have to be a fighter in order to be the hero at the center of a story.

By exclusively valorizing masculine-coded characteristics while snubbing feminine-coded ones, we’re just holding everyone to the same (unhealthy) standards of physical strength that boys have been held to for ages. The answer to who gets to be a hero in terms of gender identity may have changed a bit over the years, but what makes someone a hero in terms of gender expression has remained largely the same.

One thing about shoujo is that if you want to get into it now you have to understand that lately there hasnt been nearly as many shoujo animes in production as there are shounen, so to truly appreciate this type of anime you're gonna have to watch older stuff with animation that isn't as impressive or that doesn't look like what you expect from nowadays anime, but is still absolutely stunning in its own way. New shoujo anime are coming out a lot more these past two years, with older anime even getting new adaptations, but we went through a very dry period, and now we gotta make sure the new shoujo coming out can become popular enough that more and more stuff gets adapted
