Not your waifu edition
This is largely going to be a thread where people can discuss feminist theory of anime and manga as well as recommend ones that you believe show positive feminism. First let's briefly go over feminist theory.
What is Feminist Theory?
Feminist theory covers a broad range of topics, but for this thread we're gonna be focusing on feminist theory as it pertains to pieces of fictional media. In the case of this thread, we are framing anime and manga through a feminist lens and covering topics like gender inequality, representation, stereotyping, objectification, among others. The point of such discussion is meant to point out viewpoints and attitudes held by a work of art.
