I think when they kept mentioning it that writers kinda dropped it
Sorta like Magic Negro
Plus I assume women hated them
Cooper Gonzalez
I do not care what women hate. Women hate most of the best movies of all time too. Their opinions about movies means nothing to me.
Luis Robinson
not really because scene girls got old and fat and turned into tumblrinas when guys stopped liking them
Lucas Roberts
True enough but I think that it might be why directors /writers stopped using them
Brandon Myers
Yes, we call it tumblrina now
Daniel Young
Checked.
Also yes but no because this is just how 65% of women look and (think they) act like now.
Brody Miller
Yes but they are main characters now
Justin Gutierrez
The female audience is more profitable than the male. And the MPDG doesn't appeal to women at all, as its a woman taking the man's role in a relationship.

can you define the characteristics?
ive seen those movies but i dont get what a "manic pixie dream girl" is
Bentley Williams
It's a male redditor's idea of what a perfect girl is like
Colton Murphy
This. I think it’s more of a 2000 trope than 2010. Kinda like goth died out in the 90s and Emos in the 2000.
Austin Peterson
Men writing cute girls
Charles Cook
If your gonna hate someone at least hate the correct person. It was a Jew writer not women.
Kevin Smith
so i guess you guys cant list the characteristics
this thread is full of pretentious faggots who dont know what they are talking about
David Price
MPDG's are great in short doses but there's no way you could deal with their twattery in a full relationship.
Christian White
Or you just can’t google a twenty year old term
Chase Lewis
You know that cute girl at your dead end job who everyone loves but she only likes you?
Her friendship is the only thing worth waking up in the morning?
She keeps you motivated and you start to become a better man because of her?
Then she says she really likes you but she has a terrible secret and she doesn’t want you to suffer?
Then you live one perfect day with her before she leaves forever?
That’s a manic pixie dream girl.
Hope you are happy wherever you are, Veronica.
Gavin Myers
Sure Jews write the stuff but women have terrible taste.
Sebastian Robinson
it's granny's peach tea

girl who's sole existence is to change the white male protags life for the better
you could also search the internet instead of asking obvious questions

She only fucks black guys?

So, basically the character format is energetic, attractive and happy women that have the ability to empathize with men and want to help them with their problems? I can see why the roasties got up in arms about this. Funny how despite their complaining they then decided to completely copy the aesthetic of these characters while at the same time driving it into the ground by adding tattoos, piercings, dyed hair and shitty rainbow glasses.
Carson Ross
> “Oh no men and women have different taste in things!!!”
That has nothing to do with thread conversation.
Mason Ramirez

Women are horrible.
But they’re pretty but fucking horrible.
Mason Brown
A girl with daddy issues who dyes her hair absurd colors to signal how unhappy she is with herself but acts cheerful and is relatively charismatic in the loser circles she hangs out in so nerds go panting after her.
Anthony Gray
Read the first post I replied to. If you don't like conversation, go to Reddit where you can ban it.
Jaxon Cook
It's not my fault you can't read.
Jordan Ross
1) likes protagonist
2) is a good character
3) good looking
4) threatening to real women because women can't distinguish fiction from reality
Aiden Nguyen
I have a problem with the character format because it's fucking stupid.

They don't exist in real life
They infantilize women (inb4 all women are infants) along with the men who fall for the stereotype
They are the creations of beta males
Thomas Mitchell
Women are threatened by anything that hurts their bargaining power. All you have to do is say "why aren't you like the girls in the movies" and they will get super triggered. This is why they try to ruin all stories, games, etc.
David James
Nerds love stock characters, haven't you noticed? They get annoyed when characters aren't just ports of stuff they've already seen in other media. They can't relate to real people, and being reminded of the complexity they don't understand depresses them. They call stock characters "archetypes", as you can see here , and they've got a whole body of pseudo-scholarship written by people like Joseph Campbell to defend their idea that cliches and tropes are the highest form of communication.
Owen Ramirez
Oh wow user you sure showed him you aren't a faggot
David Long
>get drunk and email manic pixie girl from work 3 years after she got sacked

no regrets, half tempted to send a follow up email saying >whats your problem bitch?
Hunter Hernandez
Sounds like it's women's fault as usual. Step up your game, roasties.
Jackson Taylor
Thanks, brother
Dylan Hill
>They are the creations of beta males
Nerds are beta males, why should we tolerate your attempt to get between us and one of our few sources of pleasure?
Gavin Roberts
At least you're not pretending to be a Chad like it's fashionable now on this website
Ayden Lopez
Just send her a dick pic, retard
Levi Taylor
It was never really a thing.
Levi Smith
>All you have to do is say "why aren't you like the girls in the movies" and they will get super triggered.
No. In real life, this kind of comment will get a look of contempt. Seriously, do you think the woman's going to be threatened by the possibility that you'll jerk off to MEW webms instead of having a relationship with her? If you're happy to settle for that, she wouldn't want you anyway. This works the other way around too - women who compare their lives to Disney movies are all too prevalent, and they're awful. Grow up. Stop watching kid media into your mid-twenties.
Cooper Cox
thanks you too
Ryder Brooks
You're too much of a brainlet to understand it. You can only see the outermost layer of something.

What's the difference between a stock character and an archetype?
Parker Lopez
>and they've got a whole body of pseudo-scholarship written by people like Joseph Campbell to defend their idea that cliches and tropes are the highest form of communication.
So you're actually admitting that it's been scientifically proven that people like their Male characters to be strong and masculine and their female characters to be feminine and supportive?
Jonathan Peterson
here, have the original manic pixie dream girl
Jaxon Roberts
This kind of smug air and complete denial of wrong doing makes me wonder just where this poster came from.
Hudson Garcia
>In real life, this kind of comment will get a look of contempt.
Hmmmm I wonder why? Oh, because they got triggered. Fact is, women are extremely low quality now and pointing it out in any way makes them mad.
>do you think the woman's going to be threatened by the possibility that you'll jerk off to MEW webms instead of having a relationship with her?
They shouldn't be, but because they are so idiotic and infantile, they are. Guess who is the most triggered about sexbots. If they didn't care about the betas, why would it be such a big deal? At first they might not care but they know they need the beta bux once they hit the wall. That's the real reason they want betas to "man up and settle" for roasties.
Luis Brooks
Not that guy but I'd guess stock character is more 2 dimensional when an archetype suggests the arc of the character itself following a familiar path.
Angel Walker
Yeah that's right. I'm #StraightOuttaReddit and what are you gonna do about it? Sneedpost? Share your Bane collection? Face it kid, the Reddit army is here to stay.
Ryan Hughes
Go be a fag somewheres else.

Austin Foster
>They don't exist in real life
Strange, I don't see men getting upset when they see a handsome jacked killing machine that would go to hell and back to save his girl and is also loving and sensitive in their home life. If anything they see that as something to strive towards
>They infantilize women (inb4 all women are infants) along with the men who fall for the stereotype
So being energetic, fun, supportive and dedicated are infantile traits now? interesting, If I looked at most female Tinder profiles they would probably list all of those attributes as things they look for in an ideal man. really gets the brain bubbling.
>They are the creations of beta males
In fairness almost everything was created by autistic beta males.
Ayden Powell
they do exist in real life, just replace the word "dream" with "nightmare"
Austin Gonzalez
don't forget this classic MPDG
Jose James
Nathaniel Roberts
any good asian manic pixie dream girls?
Luke Nguyen
no
Daniel Hall
Why did you have to bring up my sweet Kristin? I was having a good day and I haven’t thought about her giggle and sparkly eyes in years. She gave me hope for this life and then moved to the other side of the country, taking my hope with her.
Jackson Nelson
Slightly crazy but amazing girl that you can't have but helps you improve.
It still hurts, goddamn it.
Michael Lewis
Henry Campbell
It was never a thing in western media. There are like 4 examples of honest MPDG in mainstream media. Everything else is "le awesome deconstruction" shit.
