Typically shoujo/josei is aimed towards girls or females in general when they are being made, but I found from time to time that some shoujos sometimes actually have really interesting/entertaining concepts, but at the same time I find myself shying away when I look at shows like 'Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica' for example. Really cute little girl looking characters, and can't help but think yo is it really okay and not weird if i watch this?

What are your thoughts?

Completely gay. You think something looks cute then you like dicks in your mouth, because dicks look cute.

Nope, not weird. I like to read shoujo manga, but I prefer josei (just like I prefer seinen over shounen). I usually stick to romance/SoL manga. Haven't watched to many shoujo anime though.

Maybe if you watch it for the hot guys, but that's not even specific to shows aimed at girls. So no not really.

I knew this would come up. That enters a whole other debate on double standards in society. This is specifically about guys liking shows aimed towards girls

It's perfectly normal for men to watch Shoujo Anime. I enjoy various Shoujo, especially Magical Girl Shoujo.

Really depends, things like Kaichou-Wa maid sama I really don't even classify that as shoujou. If you are watching dudes in their fucking swimsuits and shit then yes I would classify that slightly homosexual. It doesn't really matter though, I personally really don't care. I would recommend Boku No Pico though, great plot and story, not gay at all.

Like I said in a similar thread, if grown men can be obsessed with My Little Pony, why would it be a problem to watch or read shoujo?

It's not really a "whole other debate." If people have no issue with girls liking shounen, I don't see why guys liking shoujo would be a problem. It's not like they're completely different things.

Well for example, average people in our world find it fine when girls beat on guys to their hearts content but if a guy hits a girl it's an automatic assault/rape charge. Thats just how society is and similar with this it'd be considered fine if a girl watches something a guy would watch like sports but you can't say you wouldnt find it a little weird finding a guy crying over something like gossip girls or vampire diaries/twilight

So just wanted to know ppls opinions on the anime equivalent of that^^

It really depends on the anime.

Some are just...no.

Others though, are perfectly fine.

Imagine Jojo's Bizarre Adventures !
A great protagonist once said, "It's only overpowered if you can't return the favor!"

I'd find it weird for anyone to cry over that.

Personally, though, I'd like to see a lot more acceptance of men doing "girlish" things.

It means you have a soft side in yourself, be happy. I'm personally not into anything that has to do with romance.
