Are Battle Shounen just soap opera for dudes?

They are like telenovelas for guys.

@DigiCat My personal interests? Sewing, art, cooking and baking, music (I can play the violin and piano), home design, and I like video games and anime. I also like skating.

I like a variety of anime and manga, but I lean more Shoujo. I like a variety of shows, but the shows I prefer are the ones that men (specifically white) like to call DEI (I love diverse shows).

@LuxuriousHeart I've a white man, I never used that word in my entire life. And I didn't flinch an eye when I saw a black girl in Attakku no. 1 ln the couple of episodes dedicated to her like i didn't do it when I saw black, american men in the Space Sheriffs, in the Sentais (Abaranger) and in the Kamen Riders (Geats). The only thing I don't understand is why somebody in the star and stripes kindgom felt the need to remake such shows with american actors instead of the japanese ones of the origins if already in the originals there's plenty of american/canadian actors, and nobody ever had any problem with them to begin with. Hell, in Geats the black actor turns into a friggin' Kamen Rider for a couple of seconds, Geats has been well received in Japan. And the japanese are not particularly friendly with Black people to begin with. At least, I understand why they did it (the american obsession to always be at the control of everything like the center of the universe the United States isn't), but it makes no sense whatsoever the same from a "pretended" universalistic society of my ass like the american one. If people ends disliking the United States and its inhabitants, don't look any further than this laughable controlling and center of the universe syndrome.
As a side note, the only real problem with black people for me is when it comes to hentai fanart on Pixiv, but only because I don't have that color of skin (see, in sex skin is very important) and I don't understand the shitload of black men in art in which a generic non-black male viewer is supposed to identify (the ratio of black people in Japan is very small). But same goes for the horrible fatsos or old men, those are far worst than black ones.
For women, instead, the problem is when they use them as an advertiment tool to discard as soon as possible. See Akiko Inoue and the whole mumbo-jumbo of her writing No. 1 Gozyuger as the main writer because a woman hurr durr, she was left at the very end tail of Kamen Rider Gotchard because they didn't trust her, result: No. 1 Gozyuger is tanking hard because she's clearly not into the series like the advertisement of No. 1 Gozyuger made her. provided being a woman doesn't make you good at writing to begin with (coff coff Yasuzo Kobayashi and her vomit coff coff)

@ProudElitist Who cares about who is in hentai? It's hentai. There's a diverse range to appeal to everyone. There's even ones where they show no one and the 'guy' is transparent or translucent, because that makes it easier to focus on the girl and self project onto the guy.

Most people dislike bad works. I dislike The Open House. I find it bad. Looking at the low rating on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, most people agree. The difference is, they won't blame the movie being bad on the main character being a white guy. They'll just simply talk about the bad plot, ending, and writing. That isn't the case when it's a work with a person of color or a woman. The Open House is a bad movie. Though if you replaced main character with a women or person of color, then suddenly their gender and/or race will be the reason that the movie flopped, and not the bad writing and plot.
