Why doesnt manga/anime have strong female lead anymore?

Female leads exist but they dont usually fit the strong MC archetype unlike male MCs. Im talking about Sukebans and such.

Off the top of my head I can only name Kill la Kill,black lagoon and Teppu. Why the fuck dont nips make more of this stuff?

There's more to strength than physical strength.

Of course, thats why your average tsundere isnt listed

Has there ever been at time where anime/manga reguarly had a strong female lead? I dont really get what you put in "strong" though, only what I think when I hear it.
For the list you can add Seras (Hellsing) and the white one from Jormundgand.

because
> MUH GENERIC SELF INSERT MALE CHARACTER LOLOL XDD
>MC IS A BORING GUY WITH A PLAIN LIFE BUT ONE DAY XDDDD X GIRL... LOLO WWWWOAH SUGEEEEE MC IT'S TOTALLY LIK ME

Dude I'm tired with all this feminist propaganda on US series. I don't want to retrieve the same shit on my chinese cartoons.

>Id rather have a bland MC who has no personality.
>Id rather project than see someone unorthodox act

>Implying female MCs have personality aside "MUUHH PRIVILEGE MUHH STRONG WOMAN STRONGER THAN MALE"

They burnt out of it.

Yes

They actually have that as they cant rely on fags projecting

You mean they aren't retarded op or literal Jesus? How is that a bad thing?

You just need to search harder. I'll agree that strong female MC in manga is declining since ~2004, though.

False equivalence and misuse of greentext. Nobody said anything about bland MCs, it's not an either-or situation where there are only bland self-insert MCs and muh strong female MCs. There are plenty of bland, nice-girl pushover self-insert female MCs without any personality whatsoever anyways, just look at any otomeshit.

The funny thing is, when people talk about muh strong female MC, they only ever mention action shows like Kill la Kill and Black Lagoon. It's the same shit as your generic strong male MC, just with the genders reversed.

There's her, that silver haired chick in Jormungand and the wolf girl in Spice Wolf. OP obviously hasn't seen enough anime or is just very forgetful (says the poster who can't be bothered to look up names).

>BLEEDING IN MY CROTCH
>THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAL
Seems pretty strong to me.

Why else do you think the fascist fuckboys of the alt-right have taken to anime like flies to shit?

But Japan is post feminist country, they don't care about cunts because initial wave of feminism crashed and burn to this very day.

>plummeting birthrate
>men arent getting laid
>women dont seek relationship

That sure worked for them

this makes me so angry I'm going to save it to my hard drive and repost it to piss off wandering Sup Forumsirgins

Fuck off you fucking feminist.

I agree with you OP, strong female leads are nice (and no, they don't have to be the shitty american trope of "stronk independent feminist wymn")


>Kill la Kill,black lagoon and Teppu

Ghost in the Shell is another good example.

They have always been rare.

>Stronger than male
Not necessarily. Look at Wolf Child. The heroine isn't remotely physically stronger than any male whatsoever but she demonstrates to be an incredibly strong person taking care of her two youkai children by herself.

Mora action oriented shows also have very strong and interesting female characters that aren't stronger than the top tier male dogs but get to do awesome shit regardless.

Because it's stupid

There's never a shortage.

>wanting a girl who isn't a literal fucking waste of space with no personality means you're a feminist

commit sudoku

>girl
>waste of space
that never happens as long as they're cute

Honestly I would like a story centered in an old badass woman who actually looks her age. Kinda a Japanese human Slappy Squirrel.

that doesn't sound sexy at all
make an ara ara~ and I'm pretty sure it could still work and you'd get more interest

Even cute has its limits though.You take a decent looking heroine in generic shounen #713492 and her only line and action is saying "MC-kun..." every chapter, and you have people thinking she doesn't contribute at all.

>an SJW planet

What abou Seirei no Moribito ? Also Kyousogiga and Kinos Journey have strong female leads. Generally girls not being as strong as guys might have something to do with it.

>implying this happened

Is the captain Motoko considered a strong female lead?

Strong male leads are also dying.

Elemental Symphony of Vogelchevalier, the feMC is pretty good.

If you're falseflagging, If not, >>>/reddit/
Either way, fuck off.

Check out pic related. You'll like it.

gotchu senpai

>sexy
There's your problem.

Not every female character exists to be fapbait.

If I wanted to fap, I'd watch porn/hentai.

Not old enough but looks interesting. Thanks, user.

This

It isnt gender specific but more strongly felt with females as pool is shallow.

Fuck off, threads concerning industry trends are above average shitposting

>Not every female character exists to be fapbait
That is where you are wrong. That is all women are for.

Negro, plz. Sexiness is like cheese and bacon: it goes great with everything!

Unless you happen to be vegan, lactose-intolerant, or Jewish...

Y-you're not a lactose-intolerant vegan Jew, are you?

Your mom didn't beat you hard enough.

She never needed to becasue I wasn't a little cunt.

huh? who cares, you can just watch whatever trash from disney if you want that.

Why are Sup Forums and antifa such cringy LARPers and have to shove their 3rd grader political opinions in everyones face?

If you decide to watch/not watch something because you align your tastes strictly to your political views you're a fucking faggot

Go back to your Trump and awoo threads you crossboarding newfags

I'm laughing at how people in this thread are writing off all female protagonists as SJW pandering.

You can write a strong female protagonist without making it seem forced. The trick is to give the character other traits, so that there's more to her character than just "I'm a strong woman".

Basically, only talented writers (which are rare in any industry) can do the archetype correctly.

they take entertainment seriously.

Every civilisation reaches that stage when life becomes easier and they can pursue their dreams. birth rates usually come in war times when its peace people take it easy. now kys

>implying a smugfaggot opinion is relevant
Not even once

The words of a true ladies' man. Unless you're pretending to be retarded-- Oh, wait.

This. It doesn't help that the writer's strikes in America have been contributing to the "le strong woman" stereotype.

Please don't push your disgusting western "values" into other cultures or entertainment that's foreign to you. Also fuck off back to whatever shithole you came from.

Emma from tpn is being written as the strong Mc archetype currently. I think she's said to be the most physically strongest out of the trio

>muh western feminism boogeyman

The thing is most anime and Manga is carteret to men. That's why they have male mcs so there fan base can relate to them. For instance both fate/extra and grbadblue games had choosable female mcs who were more popular yet the amine adaption are keeping them as male. This is so that the general public can insert themselves. The only way you can get stronh female mcs is shoujo and most of them suck

they don't get translated
a fuckload of manga don't get translated in general

Well part of the reason the female MCs are popular is because they're cuter than the male MC and have less generic designs. Usually they're given a lot of outfits and looks to show them off, so boys and girls alike can have a cute girl that can look however the player wants them t (if they have the option) Djeeta and Chicken-chan are pretty much that reason personified.

The cute FeMC is also shippable and more likely to be focused on or given characterization than the male self insert in fanon, so she's made to be more of a character (a flat one though). Or they have more fun personalities in spinoff material, like Gudako.

Still upset about fate/extra. Fem hakuno and Gilamesh route nevdr

Old characters aren't really seen as MC material. More mentor archetypes or parental figures than anything else. If you age her down to thirties or mid twenties at most if you want her older, then she might be more marketable.

She can't do shit without Vogelchevalier.

feminists and sjws poisoned the strong female character archtype to the point it's full blown toxic.

The problem is that emotional strength is downplayed a lot in shows. Even if the character won't take shit from anyone, if they're physically weak in a setting where physical weakness is a hindrance they're be seen as weak overall regardless. Plus emotional strength is written like garbage a lot of the time.

Sure they do. What timeframe of "anymore" are we talking here, anyway?

Not really. But then again there's the parody, the projection Sup Forums and Sup Forums makes of what a strong female character is, and what it actually is. Dolores in Westworld, Danaerys in GoT, Utena in SKR. They're strong female characters and they're not toxic. Nobody could picture their show without them.

>Why doesnt manga/anime have strong female lead anymore?
Because they are trying to make it mor realistic.

>Why the fuck dont nips make more of this stuff?
Because irl women are weak and men are strong, women are submissive while men are dominant, men get shit done while women nag until the men get shit done for them.

The problem is that Japan does not fall for the independent stronk women meme.

>manga/anime
>realistic

It's been getting less realistic since the 90's.

Meanwhile in reality, young women have more college degrees than young men, and enter the workforce at a higher rate, while more and more men decide to become worthless NEETs.
Really makes you think.

This also.

>Because irl women are weak and men are strong, women are submissive while men are dominant, men get shit done while women nag until the men get shit done for them
The first 2 I understand due to biological and cultural differences, but the last one is implausible and more of an opinion, by which its outside of TV sitcoms and movies.

>women are weak
Depends, women have smaller muscle strength on average sure, but better endurance to pain.

Horizon S3 when

>Meanwhile in reality, young women have more college degrees than young men
Meme degrees such as gender studies screw up that data, and you know it.

>but the last one is implausible
Boy, you have never been married, have you?

>but better endurance to pain.
This is hardly true, I can take a strong punch and not cry about it, while women will cry like babies if you simply give them a little slap to the face.

Not all marriages are like that. Also, [citation needed] for that last point.

I don't agree with forcing writers to choose a female MC because of muh feminism, but you fags take things to a new, retarded level.
>the MC is a girl?
>fucking sjws reee
What they didn't mention is that said neckbeards have a twisted view on Japan, and judging from their posts they do as well.

Does Claymore count? Also, Arms peddler is quite good
>new chapter never
;_;

>Not all marriages are like that
As if you had ever been married to know better...

Go ahead and fall for the marriage trap, im sure you will regret it but do go on...

>Also, [citation needed] for that last point.
Citation? Have you never slapped a bitch in the face before?

Try Seirei no Moribito.

>marrying
>perpetuating an obsolete institution instead of just being with person you like
>ever
I shiggy diggy

I agree, marriage is bad.

This thread went to shit, but I'll help you anyway OP. While it may not be dark and edgy badass, check out Jourgamund or Madlax. There are plenty of Female leads in shows already, but they just haven't been popular in the past decade or so. You have to go older to get better stuff. 80's and 90's also have plenty of sexy women kicking ass.

>better endurance to pain
biologically men have better endurance on all fronts. it's just that when a woman is going into labor, her body dumps a fuckton of adrenaline, norepinephrine, dopamine, and various other pain-suppressant happy drugs into her system so that she can endure it without going into shock. dope a man up on that many chems and he could pass a watermelon through his fucking urethra and then walk home on the same day.

this isn't a value judgment, just biology. men are built to handle stress and pain on an overall higher level than women, because the species evolved such that human sex-differentiation specialized males into risk-taking roles. conversely, female humans have it safer, except specifically the point at which they carry and birth offspring, a task their body is specialized to accomplish.
