What the fuck, Yea Forums, I read someone claiming this, but never actually thought it's that popular with girls.
Today, a girl I talk to from time to time, in a conversation mentioned that she likes Transformers. She watched all the movies and lots of cartoons and said she knows another girl from her uni, who likes them too. Starscream is her favorite, because he is cool and handsome and said I should watch g1, cause it's really good. And she doesn't even strike me as a kind of girl who is into animation all that much, she just really likes transformers.
What is it about Transformers that attracts girls, I genuinely don't understand.
Girls like Transformers
Dylan Hernandez
Xavier Howard
Chicks dig Giant Robots
Logan Kelly
Robots are cooler than Barbies and horses so they watch robots instead. Not that hard.
Luke Torres
It's because the transformers have faces & personalities. Girls on average prefer things like hair, clothing detail, & faces. Boys prefer objects, mechanics, machinery, & weapons.
Thomas Williams
>What is it about Transformers that attracts girls
Big sexy metal men with big guns, what's not to understand.
Ryder Turner
As a oppose to every other cartoon, where no one has faces and personalities, have no details to their design.
Jeremiah Cooper
They only like this stuff now, because it is acceptable among females. I have yet to meet a female that like super robot.
Carter Ross
>They only like this stuff now
As someone who went to the first BotCons and other early robot themed conventions, no there were always some girls involved and you're full of shit.
Caleb Myers
>I have yet to meet a female that like super robot.
Because from what Ive seen girls dont give a shit about piloted mecha, they like "actual" robots, not just robosuits.
Hunter Butler
This right here only weirdos dislike giant robots
Nicholas Miller
I wish I could find girls who like giant robots, but all I find is surface level weebs and dykes who only like Steven Universe.
Jonathan King
>G1
>good
No, sorry, the G1 cartoon has aged horribly and I say this as a 30-year-old boomer and giant nostalgiafag who owns all the seasons on DVD. The '86 movie is alright though.
Brandon Reyes
Sounds like they're avoiding you user, can't imagine why.
Ryder Rivera
Giant robots are lame if they're not alive
Chase Jones
Oh look, it's this thread again.
Blake Fisher
This.
Carter Hernandez
There is some truth to his words. It is the same with MegaTen. Many girls will swear that are huge fans and followers, but have only played Persona 3-5, nothing more, even when the other titles are shown to them or say combat is too hard. Don't get me started on Etrian Odyssey.
Elijah Morgan
Disregard Unicron's origin in season 3. seriously a space monkey?
James Price
>As someone who went to the first BotCons and other early robot themed conventions
how old are you dude?
>no there were always some girls involved and you're full of shit.
considering the 2nd BotCon was ran by a woman by the name of Raksha.....
Thomas Fisher
Ok Dr.Light.
John Hughes
why does Yea Forums have the same threads all the time? is it the same anons or is it just coincidence the same exact thread gets posted multiple times? like, this isn't even a bait or troll thread, its perfectly fine in terms of content, its just we've went over this like 20 times already?
Oliver Taylor
>how old are you dude?
I've been around awhile dude and yes I remember Raksha, she simultaneously was and wasn't as crazy as everyone made her out to be.
Nathan Williams
Christopher Bell
Summerfags.
Blake Bailey
grown women who are into Transformers, like grown men who are into MLP, are generally psychotic and lonely and project their craving for companionship onto hypermasculine/hyperfeminized nonhuman cartoon characters
Andrew Martinez
Ding Ding Ding. Nice numbers.
Bentley Hill
user, these are the so called "girls" that like Transformers. The Transformers community is filled to the brim with transgenders.
Jeremiah Campbell
Levi Jones
Hunter Myers
Wyatt Lewis
Noah Smith
Bentley Gonzalez
You might not believe it OP, but she-ra was a product of girls liking boy stuff
Jonathan Lewis
You sound like a retarded executive who seems to think different genders come from different planets. Seriously, the fuck is wrong with you.
Elijah Bennett
Where do you meet these girls? On average, nerd girls are into shit like yaoi and Star vs
Mason Scott
they like the characters
that's it
not that hard op.
CWC is not a mortal and cannot be judged by your human standards
Thomas Johnson
>You sound like a retarded executive who seems to think different genders come from different planets
Not OP, but if you honestly think that in general males and females aren't drawn to different things, you are delusional. Barbie is a huge franchise for a reason.
There are outliers but it ain't smart to market to outliers.
Oliver Young
Girls and zoyboys are the only people who read IDW Transformers comics, which explains why it's turned into THIS.
Xavier Walker
Zoyboy? I think you mean soyboy user
>WHAT
I said bean bloke
>WHAT
Legume lad
>WHAT
Tofu tot
>WHAT
Glycine guy
Elijah Ward
That's a terrible attitude to have.
Samuel Gomez
>Super Robot
Mecha are vehicles. They are not robots.
John Walker
>MEGAS XLR
I love you, user.
Daniel Johnson
Fun fact! Women are people too, with interests and hobbies!
Jace Adams
I see many things about Transformers that makes it interesting or desirable for fujos and fangirls to explore.
>Militaristic setting which allows for angst/drama/betrayal
>Two opposing factions - good vs evil - You like bad boys and villains? You got it. You like righteous heroes who fight for justice etc. you got it. All the character types are here.
>Transformers are always in "uniform" or "armor" their designs often invoke a feeling of hyper-masculinity.
>The transformers have lived for millions of years and have deep, complex relationships as a result.
>Optimus Prime is the ultimate 'good dad'
>Chicks dig shiny vehicles and giant robots.
Tyler Ross
I think G1 is amazing as a comedy.
Lucas Cox
>Carnage in C-Minor
Sebastian Wood
Steven Universe is basically Transformers too.
Austin Myers
O-oh
John Cruz
Holy fuck.
William Evans
You should go to a TF convention. You'll see why they're the worst fans.
Jaxon Thompson
In fairness, there are episodes that were meant to be comedy
Jonathan Thompson
G1 is me and my friends go-to drinking game.
Drink when:
>Optimus says roll out
>Megatron screams 'retreat'
>Starscream is a bitch
>Animation fuckups
You get hammered within an hour.
Brayden Miller
G1 is death by alcohol poisoning.
Ryder Young
Don't watch B.O.T. You'll be dead in about three minutes.
Noah Gray
So do Nips
That's why Beast Wars had its drama toned down and characterizations rewrote to be as silly as G1
Justin Reed
Transformers are very popular with women, look at their quantities of fanfictions:
These images were saved in 2017
David Carter
I also own several other images that I saved in 2017 of data from Transformers fanfiction in AO3, do you want me to post them?
Asher Morales
>tfw collect Transformers
>tfw can now get a gf
Jacob Robinson
The real truth is that the show is full of guys. And both men and women predominantly prefer shows about lots of guys.
Evan Rogers
Any good stories?
Michael Martinez
Fuck you
Cameron Perez
Not true, my friend who likes Transformers has watched all of the Braves series, making her more /m/ patrician than I am
Thomas Richardson
Dont forget starscream declaring himself leader every time megatron trips and falls over.
Gavin Martinez
and this is why we steer cleat of tfwiki
Liam Gomez
Your friends sounds cool.
Gavin Foster
No, this why we don't get assblasted on a laotian editoral comic forum over a character being categorized as something at the bottom of a page when said character had a piece of official material categorizing them as that.
Please find actual, worthwhile things to get worked up about.
Andrew Howard
Not that user, but I'm lost. What's going on?
Lincoln Young
Fpbp
David Collins
I think that constitutes as 'Strascream being a bitch' which would pretty much be 'every time Starscream has speaking lines'
Christopher Fisher
Starscream and Megatron pull in a lot of viewers
Joseph Turner
They do.
