TheBrainintheJar said: Have you watched Toradora? It does it without the main character being a pervert. It made me sick. Lots of things do it without the main character being a pervert. At least Toradora tends to be of high quality when it isn't doing that. (Although the lead male deciding to be with the character who abuses him in the end does cast a bit of a shadow over the whole show.) Don't ever try Love Hina. It was one of the first harem shows, but it's almost nothing but this trope, and it's vile. |
| I don't have a "big" problem with this cliché. Sometimes, the guy is such an jackass or an asshole I'd punch him too. But I guess why people doesn't like it because, like I said, It's a cliché. It's repetitive and easy to use it and we're in a time where feminism become extremist. |
| you should end it at Why do girls in anime beat up guys for no reason at all, there. not everyone is okay with that shit lmao there are tsundere antis everywhere |

| Yeah I hate watching that, like its ok for girls to hit guys but not the other way around. But idk maybe those animes are for S & M people. I guess those ppl need animes too lol |
| Idk, it's annoying to me tbh. What's even more annoying is when people say it's for comedic relief. Idk about you guys but I almost never laugh or think it's even a little funny when one character hits another for no reason. The only times I actually think it's funny is when Gildarts punches Natsu from Fairy Tail. |
| Well maybe if you weren't so triggered by cartoons then you could look beyond and see why scenes like this are used. |
| Because being a masochist is national pride of Nipponjins. |
 |
| Because it is 'empowering'. Anyway, there are reverse cases like Aho Girl or Dropkick Devil. |
 |
| Because women are apparently allowed to hurt men since they are the weak ones and that's funny. Apparently. |
| I've long accepted those kinds of beatings as something that "goes with the territory" of ecchi/harem works. Most of the time, they're so slapstick that they're hard to take too seriously. There's a world of difference between Love Hina's Keitarou Urashima getting Naru-Punch'd and becoming a "twinkle in the sky" and violence that actually feels abusive. (For a good example of the latter, see some of the scenes in the Tsukasa Ayatsuji arc of Amagami SS.) And on some level, the beatings are cosmic retribution for the male characters' "lucky pervert" fortunes. Not to mention all the indignities suffered by the female characters who get unwillingly groped, stripped, exposed, peeped on, etc.. We as straight male fans get our share of fanservice and wish-fulfillment from these shows; the karmic justice delivered upon the self-insert characters is the price of admission. |
| Probably because a majority of the time it's played for laughs and not supposed to be taken seriously. It's so overdone at this point that I personally don't think it's even slightly amusing anymore, but I'm not going to rage over it. |
