Why is there such a severe lack of platonic relationships in modern anime and manga? As in, friendships. Everything is either a romantic/sexual or familial relationship.Platonic relationships like friendship barely exist, or at least, get minimal attention compared to romantic/sexual or family ones.
>>282646304Is aimed at kids and teens.
That's not true at all. Why is /a/ filled with dumb generalization threads that are just the OP's deranged thoughts?
>>282646384It is true, modern media in general fixates on romance and sex. The only non-romantic relationships that get focus anymore are family ones.Friendships are just kinda... there. They exist, but mostly in the background and aren't treated with any real importance.
>>282646384Because OP is a faggot redditor.
>>282646410Yeah I can't escape all that damn sex in my anime
>>282646384because OP is a retard>>282646410because people like seeing cute relationships friendships should be just kinda there, that's how it works when you have a gf. You do have one, right, anon?
>>282646304CGDCT, even the ones where all the girls are gay, will still feature friendships between the girls who don’t want to fuck each other.
>>282647015In real life, friendship is treated with the same importance as romance and family

>>282646304because the market doesn't want it. there's something disgusting about noticing that many people's fantasies are incredibly lame.
>>282646304Why would I want to be friends with a girl? I'm not gay.
>>282648047>the Jap-racist propaganda much? stopped reading.
>>282649503With how lacking in friendship most people are these days, you'd think there'd be a demand for more platonic relationships in media
>>282646304True, the power of friendship should have more presence in anime and manga
>>282646304you're just watching the wrong genres. just watch shoujo. especially mahou shoujo which emphasizes the power of strong friendships.
>>282646304Either all in or nothing.
>>282646384You can do this with anything and people will reply as if it's true.
