| I'm planning to watch it, but when I google it I only see pictures of girls on all four and men driving the robots. Is it never the other way around? If so, why? I need to know if this anime is sexist or not before watching it. |
| The whole anime is a metaphor for cuckolding. You're the judge on if that's sexist. |
| It has reverse positions too ... But i guess that's not sexist anymore right ? CondemneDio said: The whole anime is a metaphor for cuckolding. Finally, i found the definition i was looking for. |
 |
| Shitposting??? I see empty account |
| How can anime be 'sexist' exactly? What kind of question is that? |
| If you can tolerate the first three episodes then your tolerance can power you through the whole damn thing. |

CondemneDio said: The whole anime is a metaphor for cuckolding. You're the judge on if that's sexist. such a perfect description /thread |
 |
| It is sexist, but a kind of naïve sexism to the point I don't even think the authors are fully aware of. If the show didn't have that boys vs girls episode, I would give it the benefit of doubt despite the fanservice and the waifu wars narrative. |
| No. It's not sexist. Is just a generic waifu and ship war with mechas. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| You can make it sexist if you want to. I haven't seen it but I think that you thinking it's sexist without seeing it says more about you then about the show. Not trying to insult or anything. |
| It's that way since the mechas can only be piloted by a male-female partnership (don't even know how to explain what the 9's are doing), where the male and female are represented as flower organs (pistil and stamen) As to why they're in that specific position, who knows And if you're looking for sexism in the way that females appear inferior to males, then no you don't really get something like that |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| it's super heteronormative and sexist, don't watch it |
| Sounds like you did your research, so why bother making a forum about it? |
| Seems that everything it's sexist nowadays. Point it that out it's sexist too? My bad grammar it's sexist too? Are idols sexist? |

steponmeazula said: heteronormative I never really got how the stamen-pistil bond work but, assuming it works on the love/sex-thing philosophy, I feel like requiring it to be exclusively male-female pairing is humanity shooting itself in the foot. If a male-male bond for some people because they prefer the same sex (if love/sex is really the metaphor the show is going for), that's just inefficient use of resources to force them with female partners that may hamper their capabilities. |

| Don't ask the anime community for advice on watching this anime, which is one of the most controversial ever. Make up your own mind |
| So what if it is? It's just a fuckin' cartoon. God damn SJWs... |
| ... |
| It can be if you want it to be, and it sounds like you want it to be, so, yes, it is sexist. |
 |
| I'm watching it right now and yeah, I think it's a little sexist. Watch at your own risk. |

detrz said: first of all why do u watch anime for its sexiness or because u are happy watching anime XD....jk. I'm planning to watch it, but when I google it I only see pictures of girls on all four and men driving the robots. Is it never the other way around? If so, why? I need to know if this anime is sexist or not before watching it. Btw its really good u may be bored somewhere or 14ep can give u a hell big shock....but just wait for the 15 ep u will be drive crazy. Anyways just give it a watch u will find it yourself. Also many people will bad mouth against it or already done it I think but just ignore them. And give a first ep watch u will have to find out yourself |

BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT WORKS." |
detrz said: I'm also planning on watching it, and my recommendation to you is do your best to completely ignore/avoid other people's commentary on the series and go into it with as few preconceptions as possible.I'm planning to watch it, but when I google it I only see pictures of girls on all four and men driving the robots. Is it never the other way around? If so, why? I need to know if this anime is sexist or not before watching it. I'm serious. I find it annoyingly difficult to avoid people talking about this show, because of this. I'd rather be able to decide on my own terms whether to like something or not, not based on what other people are saying about it. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| If you don't like the sex stuff, watch Eureka Seven. It shares similar plot points and uses Sex in a more teenage puberty sense. I also think the characters and romance in Eureka seven are far superior to that of Franxx. |
 |
| I think you're looking for the term "over-sexualizing" its not sexist (no discrimination due to sex) in the sense that they can't operate the franxx with a female partner and I believe there are some that ride in reversed roles but non amongst the mc's but I can see how the riding mechanics can be off putting. The first time I saw I was like wow ok lol but if you're wiling to look past it and give it a chance, its a pretty solid series so far. |
| Sexist or not it's a shit anime either way :^) |
 |
| No there is no sexism but there is NTR, one of the guys get their girl stolen by another dude, kinda big deal should have NTR tag |

Found lots of feminists who agree that it's feminist or at least not sexist one bit, tho, so.... dun trust a random idiot on the net. |

| it's the japanese government telling people that having sex is like being in a totally sweet mecha. So just go for it, I guess. Also be sure to make more taxpayers. I don't really get the cuckholding thing people above have mentioned (although I'm not that far into the show) it just seems more like immature teenage drama with a huge helping of sexual innuendo. |

There is absolutely NO cuckholding. The idiots spouting that nonsense are just pissy about episode 11 and onward. I, personally, think that this show is surprisingly well thought out and interesting and have come to care for most of the cast. It's like a really good sci-fi novel. It isn't actually sexist either, ofc I can't blame someone for thinking so within the first few episodes, I also thought that and dropped it for a couple of weeks until I heard different. |

If a male-male bond for some people because they prefer the same sex (if love/sex is really the metaphor the show is going for), that's just inefficient use of resources to force them with female partners that may hamper their capabilities. We don't know that same-sex pairings are infeasible. In episode 11 they try to pilot a FranXX with two pistils. They fail, but the fact that they even try suggests that it is theoretically possible. It is also conceivable (though by no means certain) that two stamens can work. Furthermore: Even if it turns out that same-sex pilot pairs are unsupported by design, that is not necessarily an inefficient choice from an in-universe perspective. It is conceivable that it was just much simpler to build a FranXX that requires a girl and a boy, and that making it flexible enough to support gay operators would be more complicated and expensive than it was worth. |

| I wouldn't really say it is or is not sexist. However: sexual? Yeah. seriously, I thought Aquarion was bad for sexual innuendos in mechas. This has it beat by miles! Short_Circut said: It's that way since the mechas can only be piloted by a male-female partnership (don't even know how to explain what the 9's are doing), where the male and female are represented as flower organs (pistil and stamen) As to why they're in that specific position, who knows And if you're looking for sexism in the way that females appear inferior to males, then no you don't really get something like that Because the other positions that they could link to sexual behavior couldn't be passed off as an attempt at piloting a mecha? |
 |
| I wouldn't call it sexist. The robots are designed to have one male and one female to work, the female on the ground and the male above her. However in recent episodes one "girl on girl" mech has been seen but not explained, and Iku (one of the female lesbian characters) is very angry at the whole system. So it's really about breaking out of that sexism in a way |
 |
| There is yes, maybe that's why i don't watch it anymore. |
