How come Hollywood is literally incapable of writing strong female characters, whereas Japan can do it just fine?

How come Hollywood is literally incapable of writing strong female characters, whereas Japan can do it just fine?

Hollywood is far too concerned with "sending a message" and too little with being actually fun or entertaining.

hollywood female characters at this point in time are designed to one up all others in the story or speak to some kind of higher truth incapable of being perceived by others. studios and creators think that current political strifes (real or imagined) should be heavily reflected in their media. identity, self-discovery, and "equality" are common memes.
animu female characters are designed to serve the fundamental story and character interactions while also acting as fanservice to draw people in. occasionally injecting morals and empathetic messaging, japan otherwise treats its media first and foremost as entertainment. anything veering towards art tends to speak to the larger human condition or specific issues (lethargic bureaucracy, the impact of nuclear proliferation, eroding virtual/reality barriers) instead of individual identity crises.

i won't argue that one is necessarily better than the other. if anything, both are moving further towards their respective extremes much to the detriment of the viwer.

Because sjws and feminists here believe that the only way to depict a strong female character is to reject femininity alltogether and make her more like a man. Take the new Tomb Raider for example, current strong females need to be flat chested, more androgynous, had to loose the breasts and make her less feminine. Think of any current strong female, Rey, Phasma, Arya, etc. And hence all the unrealistic scenes of women knocking out multiple huge men. Japan embraces feminine women and can write strong females without turning them into men.

How is Ryuko a good female character?

Watch Villeneuves movies if you want strong female leads who aren't Mary sues

Good on my DICK

more like kill la kill pls

Hollywood overthinks it, also the inherent Western view that female sexuality is equivalent to female weakness
Japs just write and don't give a shit and it comes out better
Ironic really

This is how i always saw it too.

You don't watch enough Japanese films if you think this is the case, Sup Forumsedditor

>fapbait waifushit
>good

But Japan is pants on head retarded about gender roles.

go on

additionally, female characters must be just a little bit stronger and a little bit braver and a little bit smarter than the men around them, without exception.

>strong female characters
did you mean besides the ones that already exist?

I like the design of her suit unironically

>yuribate
>strong female lead
If you want a strong female characters watch Appleseed, Milky Holmes, One-punchman, konosuba, Kaze no Stigma, Boku hero academia, Yozakura Quartet, Devilman cry baby, Rei-zero, Okami-san, Yumekui Merry and Monster Musume.

There's plenty wrong with Japan.

Because the term "strong female character" is the gender equivalent to blaxploitation.

This. Modern feminism is about making women more like men, everything men do we can do backwards and in heels, differences between sexes is just a patriarchal construct, men and women are no different (other than women being better), so strong western females aren't strong females at all, they're just men with tits.

>japan is good at writing female characters
>cant write a script to save themselves from being nuked

>hollywood isn't good at writing female characters

Good female characters in recent film
>Certain Women
>Carol

it's not necessarily that they're becoming more like men, although that certainly is a byproduct
it's more of this postmodern philosophy that one is worth more than what they're born with and what society tells them they should be, so they consciously reject femininity. And while that philosophy might make a good story for someone who spends all day jacking off about how enlightened he is, much like communism, the reality of this philosophy does not reflect this in any way. There is evidence to back up claims that men and women are physiologically different; the countless number of sexually dimorphic mammals , which includes humans, is a wonderful example.
So no, I wouldn't say that it's about women trying to become men; rather, they are trying to reject femininity in exchange for this cult of self actualization. In reality, people do not fully self actualize; rather they are a combination of personal choices and their environment.
Fuck you 'm drunk

Oh look, the twenty five year old character that everyone brings up when they don't bring up the forty year old character. These are exceptions that prove the rule.
