i have zero respect for anyone that believes shonen animanga consistently having badly written female characters isn't a problem within the industry. anytime someone comes forward with "the target demographic is young boys" i only question myself a) don't young boys have women in their lives they care about or coexist with? b) do young boys live in a parallel universe where women aren't relevant? c) why can't/shouldn't young boys have the right to see well written female characters in media? because that sort of argument to me is just a reiteration of "i don't care about women".

#i don't get why this is even a discussion still #misogyny evolving from 'i hate women' to 'women are only accessories/objects' to whatever form of more discrete discrimination jjk has #going on where female characters are constantly pushed aside from the plot and not given the same relevance as men is just incredibly #disappointing and i think even if shonen was just watched by young boys which it isn't but even if it was i think they deserve better than #being fed sexism bigotry as if it was morning cereal #but whatever
