Proof is everytime I visited someone's profile on MAL, 90% of the time they're male

Well MAL alone isn't proof to anything, right?

But people around me such as my friends and relatives, on the anime news, on the recently anime award, most of the anime fans are male.

Is anime in general not really appealing to female?

because girls don't have self respect. why would someone waste time of stupid stuff instead of watching anime and playing video games. they need to learn how to love themselves.

i can't said for your country and MAL, however in japan, manga, LN and anime in general always more cater toward male audience while female audience is more into Live Action... of course it doesn't make manga LN and anime not catering towards male and Live action not catering towards female, but the general consensus is there...

if we even more spesific, manga is has more broader audience since they doesn't pricy and small fanbase is ready to supply profit... so manga already has long history female catering side too..

anime is something really pricy to made, so they alwasy catered as bigger audience as possible... however, since the rise of late night anime, small but very dedicated fanbase is proven to be profitable, and the one who can supply those demands is male audience... but recent fujoshi flood into anime market make female anime audience as well seris cater towards them on the rise too...

LN is too niche and have been always catered towards small dedicated fanbase which obviously towards male... of course there is exception but not really something noteworhty about...

well, in current days, i don't see anything wrong with female liking what male like... in japan it self, almost half weekly shounen jump reader is female, and nearly 45% Love Live fans is female... if people judge you by your harmless hobbies, they aren't good people to begin with...

Because men are generally far more into cartoons and more likely to obsess over the character's

Or at least it seems to be the case... don't recall ever seeing a girl use the term 3dpd

i.e. as a male you're less likely to meet female majority parts of the anime community

OT: Considering the industry built a reputation and fanbase around ecchi harem and CGDCT these last two decades, it's not really surprising. Most females I see on MAL watch battle shounens and sports anime because there's literally nothing else for them anyway.

Well, probably cuz a majority of anime themselves are sorta male trageted, panty shots, big boobs, ecchi, harem, loli and yeah not only this but blood, gore, fights, male competing with males etc. Maybe girls don't have much to watch here (well it's rare to find a girl who loves bloody fighting)

You can find females easily. I'm generally a nice dude, but if you are an asshole I've got some advice for ya.
Just trigger them and pull out their ho card.
They will fucking be all over your dick. And they'll probably threaten you. And they will use their feminist card (which often is disguised as SJW). So it's easy if you're an asshole.

Defend on the fanbase you are hanging around from especially what type of titles you are digging on. Some titles hosted more male demographics than female while some have equal or have more females but most likely there are more anime catering men than female and while most active people in the net are male than female in "public domains' since female kept their community in a more closed enviroment that randomly talking to "strangers".

Well I'd say the medium is directed more towards men in terms of story telling and characters. Also, we can look at the gaming industry and see the majority of players are male. Anything that requires time around the computer seems to be dominated by males, at least in entertainment. Just my two cents.

Or yaoi and shounen ai, don't forget about Yaoi


Btw, I have a lot of female friends that watch anime, and most of them prefer gore and horror anime.
I love shoujo, specially shoujo manga, so I'm not one of them.

I like bloody fighting, but well... I like almost anything, just take a look at my ratings on my signature and you will see how easy it is to please me.

i was introduced to anime by my high school female classmates and they were a lot of members in their group of "anime lovers" and i rarely met male classmates who were into anime. i guess there were lots of female anime lovers like myself out there, people just don't notice them. we're just quiet sometimes and tend to enjoy anime to ourselves.

You'll be more likely to flock to platforms where more of people similar to you are found. If you are male you'll more likely to use platforms, visit sites and watch anime that is commonly watched by males.

As far as I can tell (which is not very well because it's hard to judge proportions on the internet), the numbers are slightly skewed to males but overall more equal than you think. Quite a number of anime have fandoms that are mostly females.
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

And then there is the fact that Female interest into men stuff is increasing.
Just look at gaming. The % amount of Women in gaming has grown quite a bit in the recent years.

But that goes for most of the Genetic Handicaps. Men are more susceptible to to it because they have the X/Y gene while Women only have the Y/Y gene so that the defective Y gene could be corrected by the other Y.

I've met lots, I have a 40 year old fujo coworker who likes BL shows like Love Stage and due to my Miku wallet I met a probably 50 year old fujo gas station clerk who said she is obsessed with Seshoumaru
