>gojou is another self-insert MC
Do people really self-insert themselves as Hina doll maker?
Gojou is another self-insert MC
Black hair = Self-insert
The one fucking shitstain who should have never existed
Yes
man let it go already. This isn't healthy
plenty of brunettes too
I don't know where this meme where you can't self-insert into a certain character came from. Self-inserting is just like a fetish, you don't do it because of a rational reason and yes, I'm calling out every retard who says you can't self-insert into Shirou. Abd Gojou is just another shitty self-insert, no matter what manga defenders say.
Yeah? and I self-insert as a saiyan retard monkey.
He's a self insert with a quirk. Woah, how original
Only the original creator can self-insert, that's what the "self" part means.
no,I don't feel the need to be "represented" by any character in any media ever. I'm not a selfish autistic fuck
I can't self insert as Gojou. Dude is too tall, handsome and talented
Apparently, you didn't notice that Marin is the actual self-insert.
Most guys literally don't give a shit about what they do as a profession, they just want to do something they're passionate about
So seeing an MC be passionate about something is enough to make most guys be like "yeah this could be fun. I want this"
>I don't know where this meme where you can't self-insert into a certain character came from
it's some roundabout way of ensuring people dont make fun of their self-insert
i recall i read a thread with similar title as this, are you jelly with the mc?
But in this case the creator is a woman. Marin is the self insert. Gojo excels and dabs hard on everyone else in his niche.
this
>marin is the self insert!!!!
cope
I want insert my dick into his butt
Self insertion is a spectrum, not a binary. As a character gets more "blank" (less defined personality) they move further up the scale and become more of a self-insertable character. Gojo lies somewhere in the middle of this spectrum. He has a somewhat more defined personality than the interchangeable average Iseaki MC, but is not wholly distinct or specific enough to be completely his own man that one must view from outside.
His specific hobby/profession (Hina dolls) is a superficial detail. Nobody is self inserting as Gojo because they identify with Hina dolls, they are doing so because of his deeper character traits which are generally relatable and non-specific. He is a misunderstood nice guy loner, he's awkward and not very confident at the beginning and is embarrassed of his hobby. These are things that a huge chunk of the audience can relate to and allows them to self insert as him.
lmao
>bland personality
>generic character design
Just because he has a different passion, doesn't mean he's not your average self-insert MC
I self insert as the camera. Because I watch.
Yes I am a 15 year old master craftsman, designer, makeup artist, tailor and hairdresser.
He isn't the mc. The thot is. Goku is the wish fulfilment genie for femcels to schlick to.
This but I want to marry a pink-haired cosplay girl
Just having one or two of those traits make him relatable for me.
The specifics don't matter, he's an average Joe that's drowning in pussy on the basis of being nice. It's wish fulfillment.
If you can self-insert into any character, why do people try to use it as an insult?
I self-insert as Marin
yes, i am six foot shy hunk
This. Only characters with orange/yellow hair are real characters.
why virgin gojo doesn't give her the dick already (and juju too)
what a faggot
Junichi from HnG (in the manga) and Kobayashi are audience ciphers with red/orange hair.
She sleeps with her contacts?
He's a loser, even the salesman cringed when he saw him with Marin
I want him to self-insert on me.
There's a difference between an author self-insert (what you're talking about) and an audience self-insert. An audience self-insert is a character made as a cipher for the reader to immerse themselves into. Like Harry Potter, Master Chief, and your faceless VN/hentai protags.
that's how it starts user.
>look viewer-san this guy is bland and has no personality just like you! yet a cute girl is attracted to him :D this could be you!! he also makes cute dolls! they are cute arent they cute? this is you!!! :D
once the viewer has accepted this they start slowly but surely wrapping your mind and before you realize it you are a tranny.
japan is (not so) secretly making the western man more and more effeminate through.
they've been doing it for years now.
Because why are you projecting onto an anime character
>self-insert MC
NO really, he is quite good looking and has a good character. Honestly for a moment I thought it was all a far-fetched shoujo.
Gojou is interesting because he's proof of something people should be aware.
It's evident that most men have the fantasy to be rewarded for their job, for what they do, in the form of female companionship. And yet male mangaka don't seem to understand this, they keep making mcs who are little more than props. It's almost inevitable that more and more female mangaka will write shounen and seinen, since they write in away to makes both genders happy.
The sad conclusion is that this will drain shoujo magazines from their best talents, inevitably.
>NO really, he is quite good looking and has a good character.
See
>The sad conclusion is that this will drain shoujo magazines from their best talents, inevitably.
But what makes more money? Shonen or shoujo?
ikr. Same here
I don't have hard data, but we know that shounen/seinen is read by both genders, shoujo only by women. All the big sellers are shounen.
Well, the design doesn't help you think that.
Naruto is prime self-insert material and he's blonde
If you want to see how a REAL self insert look like, read Thermae Romae and wait for the Japanese girl who speaks latin shows up.
You'll respect the mangaka for how shameless she was.
i can selfinsert as the commer just fine
Titles that cater to self-inserters tend to make the self-insert very average or a “blank-slate protagonist” which makes it easier.
There are in any case two different things called “self-inserting”. In one case viewers experience an alternate version of the story with themselves in place of the self-insert, and thus project their own feelings onto him.
The other is milder and they still allow the protagonist to have his own feelings, but sort of leech onto them.
The former is the “Ayase is totally going to win.” type that actually thought this, because he erased Kyousuke and replaced him with his own thoughts, and since he liked Ayase more than Kirino, so did Kyousuke,even though any objective observer can clearly see that the story is heading to Kirino by a large margin.
No(you)
Gojo is too tall for 99% of self inserters.
The people bitching about him being a self-insert subconsciously identify with only his awkwardness and refuse to believe that he has many other things going for him.
Do you people actually think this? He looks absolutely nothing like what the male leads look like in romance stories for girls.
They are never ever ever awkwrd and clumsy with micropupils and unfashionable haircuts with dim expressions.
White hair = self-insert as well.
No, thanks. I actually self-insert to someone with an actual spine.
Can't believe it took me so long notice the inherent comedy in the author writing herself as the ultimate Gigastacy while also hiding her own face. Most curious, that.
>author writing herself
I don't think it's fair to assume that MC is always author's self-insert.
I'm up to episode 10 in this series.
I just want to ask whether Gojou has sex with Shinju? They seem perfect for each other and I cant stop fapping whenever she appears
>while also hiding her own face
incredible based. showing you're face on the internet is never a good idea.
>They are never ever ever awkwrd and clumsy
Nah, they sometimes are awkward and clumsy. Though they are pretty much always hot as fuck.
