| you mean like Griffith, Reinhard, Albafica? those guys wouldnt be as awesome if they didnt look bishonen or acted in a effeminate way, so no i dont mind this but i do dislike whiny teenagers |

| I don't particularly like feminine males, but I don't mind them either. I am more bothered by this persisting concept that real men can't be sensitive or have frail bodies or whatever. And I don't think they are the most prominent in the industry. They exist, but why not? There are people like that, so why not characters? But when they pack the series full with that type, to cater to girls and start a fad, I won't watch it, because it's obviously not my cup of tea. |

Literally no one in anime has that, for two reasons I'm guessing, 1.Asians can't grow near-cheek level beard 2.Must be hard to create from a character design standpoint |

| I am typically glad to see characters who are not too stereotypical. I've had enough of emotionally repressed male characters who only care about getting stronger/more powerful. I've had enough of overly emotional female characters who only care about "girly things," talking about emotions, and chasing after male characters. It's fine if that is their starting point and they develop as a character, but if that is essentially all there ever is to them... they're pretty bland, more often than not. For me, a character who has some stereotypical traits of both genders is more believable and relatable. Most of the people I know have a combination of masculine and feminine traits, and I certainly fall under this category as well. In general, I view gender stereotypes as limiting at best and damaging at worst. I would rather people feel free to be themselves without worrying about whether they might be criticized for being "unfeminine" or "unmanly" if they act in a certain way. Consequently, I also like seeing all sorts of characters: characters who are very masculine or very feminine, characters who are bit more one than the other, and characters so balanced between the two that they are androgynous. Variety and individuality in characters is what I find most interesting, so yes, I do have an appreciation for effeminate male characters in anime. |

The only emotions we can fully display and not be looked down upon by society are happiness and anger. Red_Keys said: Male characters that express emotion?? What are they, human or something? Give me a break. Obviously you didn't bother to read my post. I'm not saying they don't have emotions, but rather they would express them selves in a more feminine way. Men are often seen as more aggressive and confrontational, so it's expected for them to face their problems head-on (physical violence, direct conflicts). While females are more reclusive and rather deal with their emotions in a more roundabout way by keeping them inside (getting depressed/crying), or projecting them onto other people (bitching/whining). Obviously not all men or women act this way, these are just the general stereotypes associated with both genders. Yet anime seem to always lean more toward the the feminine way for both males and females. Also manly tears in GAR anime is usually reserved for mourning (which is easily excusable) or admiration (which is hard to explain... I guess it would be like an extreme form of respect) cub said: Oda doesn't seem to think so or he would of sued Mashima already.Shanks and Gildarts are the same person. |
