Why do so many anime, that are created by men and targeted towards a male audience, feature female protagonists that act like men?

Because the author doesn't know how a woman would behave in those situations, but still wants a female MC. That's not a bad thing.

What's so different about women and men?

>implying yurifags are men
Utena is a girl's anime

Ikuni is a man, baby

Pussy and dick

Character designer/manga writer's a woman

Yeah but Utena's known as his show

Ikuni is a waifufag who hates males. Judging by his works he feels seriously threatened by heterosexual males, especially in the position of power.

Was Utena a milky milkers, back in her day, when she was still little and cute?

No, they don't. Stop trolling with Utena.

The scene where she has sex is the sexiest scene in anime hands down. Tomboy =/= actual man

>female character is proactive, high energy, intelligent, strong, or otherwise able to position herself to accomplish her goals
>people complain that she's a "man with tits"
What do they mean by this?

Women are boring characters. Pic related.

because it's an attractive trait for women to have

Because if they were written like a real woman then they probably wouldn't be very interesting.

Because it's usually because they have masculine traits

>it’s user pretending he knows women
How cute

But you are a man and lack any of those traits. So, you are a woman with a dick because you are socially inept and a failure?

Utena is obviously shoujo.

Unironically, Kannazuki no Miko features 2 female characters that behave feminine and the majority of the writing team were men.

How come? Is it just so men can watch the women they want to have but can never get?

It's an early attempt of having the lesbian character winning the MC after decades of them losing. The hetshit makes you believe the guy would've won.

They don't behave like women. They behave like anime characters. Go outside.

So incels wouldn't feel threatened by an overly assertive male MC.

So, Alita?

Because that's the only way one can make female protagonist works. Women just aren't cut out for typical heroic MC model

why does it have to be a female tho?

cause im not gay

Came to post this. Has OP ever met a woman?

wanting a female protagonist is 100% homosexual tho

Guys struggle to write realistic female characters. That's why "strong female" characters in fiction usually end up going lesbo. Guys literally cannot imagine a strong woman being het since (to them) it has to involve some kind of submission.

That's not how women act at all, incel.

To aid men in self-actualization. Anima identification with a female character, character does well => subconscious belief in oneself.
It has some other negative side effects though, see growth of trannies who want to become the anime girl.

Because tomboys a best

That doesn't invalidate the statement.

This character is accurate.

Stop being afraid of women.

>Ikuni is a waifufag
Isn't it the opposite? He explicitly tries to oppose the general hetero idealization of women.

One of the best sex scenes in an anime.

>Isn't it the opposite?
He literally stated Mars from SM is his waifu.

based and straightpilled

Female protagonists are fine if the show also has a good male lead.
In this case female protagonist will absorb most of the boring protagonists cliche which will possibly allow the male lead to actually be interesting.

Nobody’s ever been afraid of women.

Then explain yourself

but Anthy is literally the best thing on the show.

Utena is not really this case

>making one show where the majority of male characters are manipulative assholes suddenly means he hates men
Just remember that Sarazanmai has a majority male cast.

Ikuhara is 100% hetero. He just hates purityfags and that's why he tries to BTFO them on a regular basis.

>Just remember that Sarazanmai has a majority male cast.
Sarazanmai's males are also faggots.

He is a weird bird indeed.

>Ikuhara is 100% hetero
He transcends sexuality and gender

She's completely flat.

Lina is the most gentle feminine flower to ever grace the earth, what are you talking about?

I agree. All her anime songs are pretty based.

Is this worth reading?

What kind of cuck hates purity?

>act like men
Elaborate.

OP is trolling.

Women are attractive but also annoying. You can make them better characters by making them act like men, who are less annoying.

Female protagonists are either written to think and act like men, or they are written to be overly pure virginal angels for the male audience to lust after. If you're going to have a woman act and think like a man, why not just make a male character?

I just like to look at girls. I wish everyone was a cute girl and we could reproduce by hugging. The world of frills and fluffy things is the only world I want.

That would be Gura, but I like both best girls. And don’t forget Dorohedoro girls.

You sound like you had a horrible upbringing.

You didn't answer my question.
>think and act like men
Which would be...?
>or they are written to be overly pure virginal angels for the male audience to lust after
Men can't be pure and naive?

>Which would be...?
What do you mean? You don't know what men act like, or are you unaware that men and women are fundamentally psychologically different due to evolutionary pressures?

I know that men are more attracted to toys while women are more attracted to people. It shows at the extremely early stages of development.
Also I know that women are higher on neuroticism and men are more creative after hitting puberty.
That's all I know.
The thing is, in most anime we're dealing not with statistically normal men and women, so one can easily throw it into the trash.

Why wouldn't you want to be cute? Do you want to be ugly on purpose?

There's a lot more to it than that, I suggest you go outside.

Men and women have completely different wants, needs, and values.

Utena wasn´t targeted to men, also the series implied it was foolish pursuing the prince archetype

And gain an anecdotical experience from an extremely small group of people which also happens to be culture-dependent?
Is this your source of data?
If it is the case, your idea of typically male and female behaviour is severely biased.
There are differences to be sure, but I'm not convinced that they are completely different. Also, it can be superseded by the in-group values. Individual culture also plays a big role.
For example, adventuring attracts assertive risk-takers, so you will see a lot of them amongst adventurers.

>Is this your source of data?
Yes, because I don't need someone else's permission to recognize patterns.

Reality is going to hit you hard in the face one day.

Don't bother trying to argue with misogynists and sexists who think females are a different species.

thanks coach

You can recognize patterns all you want, but if the sample size is small your conclusions don't mean anything. It could be just a sample bias.
By the way, you still didn't answer my question. What is the difference?
Probably, wathever it means. Or maybe I die before that happens. So?

You don't get to determine whether it means anything. Also, converting raw pattern recognition into words is a lossy and imprecise process so I'm not going to bother. Go outside.

How are they different?

Women need a strong man that can give them healthy children and provide them resources for their future family. Men need to acquire power to stabilize their family in a social position and to protect their community.

>You don't get to determine whether it means anything
But I do. If you, for example, was the native in a tribe of cannibals where only women eat human meat, you probably would conclude that consuming human flesh is in their nature.
But this isn't the case, so this conclusion would've been wrong due to the skewed sample pool.
>converting raw pattern recognition into words is a lossy and imprecise process so I'm not going to bother
It's also the most efficient communication method known to men. I could even argue that it's how we think internally, it's a form of dialogue, but with oneself.
If one keeps all his thoughts to himself, his head can easily become a self-validation chamber.
I see three options: either you don't have anything to say and is trying to avoid revealing this fact, you are lazy or you think that your arguments will not survive under scrutiny, just like your advice to go outside.

Better than watch a full muscle guy for 25 minutes.
Male MC = super gay animu.

>But you are a man and lack any of those traits. So, you are a woman with a dick because you are socially inept and a failure?
Nice projection, retard

Ikuni exists to trigger purity fags and piss off fanboys. It's his world and we're just lucky he lets us into it.

And to be clear, I never said I agreed with people who use these arguments. The only time masculine females in a story bother me is when they don't acknowledge that the woman has an abnormal behaviour.

Meh, you forget the defining trait of most men who read and also create this kind of anime/manga. They are weak and like the fantasy of a woman that is strong, but at the same time submits to the self insert protag in some ways. Also those people usually did not have a drawn out relationship with a woman, so they can not really relate to actuall social dynamics between the genders. What they certainly can relate to is the dynamic between some wimpy dude and a dominant guy. I kinda see these kinds of circumstances as the reason for tsundere/yandere profiles. Manchildren delusively living through their traumas basically, without the abillity to reflect on them out of some stubborn and absolutely unjustified pride.
Mind you, I am referring to the usuall set-up in haremshit or general stories with wimpy protags dragged along by female side-kicks. Of course there are some pieces which are more than some obscure form of misunderstood self-help therapy, but the flood of manly female characters has its source right at this point. Yurishit is kinda an expansion to this concept, born through guys who feel so pathetic that even self-inserting is above their abillity to suspend their disbelief.
Of course, there is nothing wrong woth enjoying some of those stories, if there is a story to be told in the first place. I manage to bite through some of them despite the blatant pandering which turns my stomach. But you should seriously ask yourself why you enjoy some shows with female characters like these in them and whether you are currently going through some seriously dysfunctional escapism. I know that I was doing it back then.
