I've read and watched Japanese manga, novels, and anime. But all the mcs have one thing in common. A fear of women. They touch a woman once and they start to stutter, blush, and freak out. When a woman admits their love and wants to have sex, they run away or call the women crazy or say later. I do not understand this line of thinking.

I'm curious, in Japan, is there some sort of philosophy or teaching that men must be afraid of women? It's kind of fucking pathetic in my opinion. They literally blush and freak out like little girls whenever a woman approaches them. And for some reason, women in the anime like this soft behavior..? Doesn't seem to mix well with reality.

I've also read manga where apparently the mc is an alpha, for example, Trinity Seven. And yes, the mc doesn't blush or cry whenever he sees a girl naked, but for some reason, when it comes to the actual sex, they start to freak out and blush just like usual. So at this point I'm wondering if Japanese men are just afraid of sex in general. Hope someone can help me out with this question, because I like reading romance some times, and I just can't get over these pussy mcs! I wish instead of Japan, China was the one with good animation. Chinese mcs are just so much more fucking alpha than Japanese ones. A shame.

Interesting problem. 99% of men in anime are like that. Then we have some of them like Sakuta or Toya who stand up against them

It mainly happens in Shonen
If you read Shoujo
Instead of boys,girls are afraid.Yeah they blush.
But boys in shoujo are daring and girls like it.
It's quite opposite of Shonen.

It's because anime targets shut-in otaku who have social-anxiety/fear of women, so the shows are obviously going to implicate that.

Japanese males are beta incels. A country with a large population of beautiful women, but Japanese men would rather fuck anime body pillows and marry cartoons instead of getting laid with real women. This is why their birth rate is decreasing at an alarming rate.

Anime just proves this. Most of the males are beta pussies, and they're based on most real life Japanese males.

It's exagerrated for effect, but if guys being nervous around girls makes you that angry and uncomfortable, I'm going to think you're projecting because you see yourself and you can't deal with it becuase you're insecure and emotionally unstable.

You're not a badass dude who is above feeling embarressed around girls. It happens to all guys of all ages. Some are better at hiding it than others. Some don't get it as much. Some are gay and don't get it at all. Maybe you should look at yourself and question why you react the way you do to perfectly normal (elbeit exagerrated for comedy) male behaviour.

That goes for all you perpetually angry "alpha" dudes always complaining about this stuff.

Ever wonder why Japan has such low birth rate? Japanese men are somehow afraid of women and that's why you have MCs in anime being afraid of women, as well. They're supposed to be a self-insert for Japanese men.

Because the MC acting that way is the only thing separating harem from hentai. The writers need to have women throw themselves at his feet all day without anything ever actually happening somehow.

Its the most annoying stupid f'ing this in all of anime... even the most shy ironic shut in loser doesnt come close to half as bad as these sack of shit worthless f-tarded losers. Who the hell screams like a sissy girl gets beat red and goes absolutely ape shit skeered and crawls hands and knees to the other side of the room climb up against the wall looking like they saw a ghost. I cant even imagine pathetic oktaku losers being like that. Some say that its jap culture etc etc but i cant even imagine tiny D jap dudes being like that. I am not asking for hentai shit but for f's sake dont act like a total vag wussie loser. AHHH makes me watch to reach thru the screen and choke the ever living shiznit out of them and end their shit life to save them the pain of living anymore like that.

is that reality as well? Not Japan's problem. Normally, these guys are usually people who don't really go near a girl because of some reasons (could be personal, family-related or religious). It happens vice-versa as well. Girls can be afraid of guys too.

Probably not just used to being around the 'opposite gender'. Could be due to circumstances or the way they were brought up. Some people are just brought not to go near the opposite gender.
I was brought like that. I was allowed to play with boys and be friends with them but not too close with them to the point of being in a relationship. I don't think I can handle being around a guy in a relationship. I have been told not to dare to be in a relationship. Now it is just scary to think of what is gonna happen because I don't have the experience.
Let's not even go near the topic of s£x. It is such a taboo word in my family. Maybe for others, it might too. I think I would freak out and run away if I ever was to engage in coitus. I can't think of it. And I think these are probably the reasons why I am Asexual because I have been made to abstain from ideas and concepts like this.

Yeah, what the hell? It's like they're allergic to boobs or something. A real man would never get flustered and nervous. A real man would pounce on that shit like a jungle cat in heat and not act like a scared little pussy. Totally unrelatable. No guy ever went through a weird awkward phase where they didnt know how to talk to women. Every male is born with giant balls filled with 100% manliness and made of steel. Fuck yeah!

It happens if the main character regardless of gender for some reason is super dense and lacks any sense of logic on why they are being teased. Dude, enough with your perverted sense of shame, that person has been with you since the beginning and acts all comfy with you, could you please think with your puny brain of why they are doing it?

I think the problem is that they make the characters that way so they can stretch out the content worth of an hour movie to seasons.

The target audience of anime are guys who have some sort of anxiety and don't know what to do in those situations while at the same time want to be in mad pussy heaven. The target audience of those anime are not guys who think they would be alpha males and start banging the fist hot chicks who threw themselves at the guys.

No not so much in america... yea a small few but even the most pathetic basement dwelling forever virgin loser in america if some hottie starts throwing it out there they wont pass it up. Only people with actual mental disability would act like jap beta sus wimpy males and act like that.

Basically the beta bia's arent ever going to every get why it irritates us so much (in fact those sad sack beta sissys are always going to defend them and that sad sad SAD behaviour). To us that behavior and stupidity from males in anime toward hot females blatantly throwing it out there is just unacceptable and frankly not funny its just fustrating and irritating we dont get the joke like all the ones who do thats balls have sucked up inside themselves and have begun to transform into ovaries. If a hot chick wants the dick we give it to them, we talk back, we touch a lot, and we make a move to go forward and we dont choke and become a baby back bitch like the ones who somehow find comedy in this instead of what they should feel shame cause its not a good thing in fact its really sad.

I guess the character type is supposed to appeal to young boys/ men who are socially awkward and have never been in a relationship with nor had sex with a woman. They also may seem more approachable to some people since confident guys can sometimes come off douchey or rapey.

A big problem in Japan that has been happening the last 10 years is bullying becomeing to much for males.

Don't know if you have seen Great Teacher Onizuka, one of the main characters from this serie gets really bullied. And the thing is, it's girls that is doing it.

This is just not something that is made up and it's causesing huge problems in Japan.
It's one of the reasins why Japan is literally dying right now.

Ofc, this might be a bit to extreme as a example, but a lot boys in Japan is having a tough time. And it feels like Manga authors takes this into account when creating a piece of fiction.

I just finished Shuumatsu no Harem, i don't care how pure the main character think he is. He is beyond stupid especially in the way he acts towards girls in lewd situations, it's a bit to much.

Serious answer: I think, the society of Japan in media has turned overapologetic to women for limiting their roles and freedom for a good chunk of history.

Semi-serious answer: Something about otakus being shy and socially inept? Social customs in Japan be different tho.

My feelings regarding the post: It was all well before you sounded like you are personally frustrated. Terming men as alphas and betas - they are far more complex than that.

If the definition of a "man" only depends on their interaction with "woman", men are losers to begin with.

I love Arata tho. Le sigma!

people who pretend to be confused by this are trying way too hard. even if it is obviously exaggerated: because anime. there is some truth to it.

there is also a practical matter of extending the life of the series by having the MC's trepidation constantly delaying progress.

Indeed.

This is self insert for the target audience, as others have pointed out.

Still, I believe you can get some character growth to educate said audience in a more relaxed approach to seduction.

I guess they don't want to take the risk to lose otakus by showing it's possible to overcome your fears.

It's for building a romance.Do you want everything to be happen fast there's no affection.Even irl people gradually open to each other otherwise it's not healthy for a relationship and it's shallow.So that's why I do understand authors trying to simulate real healthy relationships in their works.Also Japan is a conservative nation.If you want a fast romance or mature stuff there's a search option in mangaupdates.There are heaps of works that you'll be interested.

Teenage years can be awkward af with all these hormones. It's not a Japan only problem. It's precisely these hormones that causes them to be conscious of the opposite sex (or same sex if they're gay). It goes for both genders too where the guy may have the balls to ask the girl out but she's not ready yet and the whole thing becomes awkward. What else isn't helping is Japan is generally more conservative than the west so going lightning speed like people hope for more often than not backfires.

Sadly for those guys who arent fat fucking slobs, akward lifetime virgins, basement dwelling squid smelling life rejects, and the rest of the cowardly ball-less pussies losers well we get hosed and anime continues to get worst and worst making 99% of male mc in anime with even a hint of ecchi or romance especially with the whole shit show otaku explosion (ya know where losers, nerds, geeks, wimps, etc etc all decided to hide behind the whole otaku name to hide what they actually are) which resulted in the worlds biggest group of pathetic hardcore losers united and a stain on the world that has ever existed.  Anime used to be balanced with wussie ball-less cowards and male mc with actual balls but now those characters are rare and we have this endless stream of cowardly simps punk losers as male mc's who are all pretty much make shift basement dwelling forever virgin otaku stand in's which are created by the same type of otaku loser writers and they pander to the anime fan base that falls under that category...  and so therefore us typical guys who have lives and get laid and live in the real world but prefer anime over some stupid tv show get shafted nonstop these days having to watch the never ending stream of bitch boys that dont even come close to qualifying as men and are even borderline male specimens.
