Feminism should disappear from this world all together let alone anime and rest of fiction. It doesnt solve anything just sepparates males and females even more and creates tension.

Are you completely ignoring all of the idol boy, reverse harem, josei/shoujo that are being produced?

Also worth keeping in mind that feminism in Japan =/= feminism in, say, the US.

Watch Claymore then. The main character is a female, all the good guys except Raki are strong females who aren't sexualized and even the main antagonist is a female monster.

that anime as a product and the industry isn't ruled by men and caterd towards sexistic men. You see this in Berserk with Casca. A strong woman gets reduced to being a girlfriend. I just think anime should move on and become more tolerant and modern.

Claymore lacks the balance, you can't go from one extreme to another. I want more normal shows to get rid of sexistic tropes and be more tolerant towards feminism.

People talking about main characters needing to be female more often? How about not a teenager more often? Much bigger issue right there. For the most part greatly reducing show quality.
Brace yourself.

I get what you mean (Even if I don't think that Caska wasn't exactly reduced to being a "girlfriend" but rather created a deeper relation with Guts which has an important impact on the rest of the manga, but that's not the point).

Ecchi stuff attracts a lot of viewers. Anime isn't the most lucrative business out there, and (overall) they need to cater to the largest audience possible. As long as people like this kind of anime, it's gonna be produced.
I may be mistaken, but it's maybe more because of that fact that things are not moving rather than the anime industry being ruled by men.

There are plenty of shows with good female leads.
To name a few:
Rose of Versailles
Juuni Kokuki
Kino no Tabi
Shoujo Kakumei Utena
Akatsuki no Yona
Saiunkoku Monogatari
Kemono no Souja Erin
Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon
Chihayafuru
Skip Beat!

More wouldn't hurt, though.

Yes, anime could use more feminism. It doesn't mean they should stop producing hentai, ecchi and romance. Rather, these genres could be made better by showing that a girl's life does not revolve solely around men, and even for a harem protagonist, not all the girls are going to fall in love with him.

Other improvements could be made, for example making fantasy/sci-fi societies which are more gender-equal than modern Japan. (That's not hard, really - japan is quite bad in this regard, so most fantasy already does it.

Rose of Versailles - the so empowering female lead is a man...kinda. also she is thinking about killing herself after a man leaves her life
Kino no Tabi - emotionless

Mmm, it's kind of a personal opinion but I like variety and I'm a girl so I'd like to be able to relate to a female protag rather than a male one.

Oh, and the same argument was used in a thread about adding more LGBT characters into Anime. Someone argued that heterosexuality is the default sexuality so there's no need to add more sexuality because it would be unnecessary.

Does the same apply here?

Having victory in a harem awarded not to the girliest girl would be nice too.

When writing a manga/anime/LN/VN, think: does a character really need to be male? If not, make the character a girl. That will surely make things better.

Implying that only females can feel heartbreak. Men are capable of feeling heartbreak and undergoing depression if they are put in the same situation. Oscar also wasn't suicidal.

Kino no Tabi - emotionless

There isn't anything wrong with being quiet.

Sailor Moon - Tuxedo Mask...nough said

Yes, a male character who throws foliage as a weapon and constantly gets kidnapped and needs to be rescued. A man existing in an anime or being a love interest doesn't make a female lead worse by default.

I dont know you tell me since i dont live in stone age i am just realistic feminism does not promote things that it is supposed to present, instead it is just bunch of horny ass middle aged women that spout random garbage on anything that portrays woman in suggestive way no matter how small/mild way it is done.

While at same time secretly wanting all dicks in this world and more male fanservice in both fiction and rl .

If you want Equality feminism is not the way to achieve it on contrary it is extremely 1 sided to begin with .

I think there is supposed to be a "." sign between "realistic" and "feminism". Like this:

Feminism is supposed to fight for the rights of woman in society right for them to be equal with men in every way? Well they already achieved that as far i am concerned, so anything that promotes someting outside of that is bs to me and attempt to Discredit men and make them look worse which goes against origial purpose. It is 1 thing asking for essentials and other being part of woman i described above.
