Why do most male main characters look like this?
>>
>>282946524
So they're relatable to the average Japanese teenager.
>>
>>282946524
why are you showing only isekai ones, nigga? go fuck yourself

They don't. Your pic is just applying survivorship bias by ignoring MCs that contradict your claim.
>>282946588
Even among isekai it's not true. Especially isekai-tensei (reincarnation) where the MC gets a new body. It makes sense in isekai-tenni (transported) and isekai-shoukan (summoned) that the nips being transported with their own previous lives' bodies do in fact look like nips. Who would have thought?

NANIII?! MASAKA! BAKANA!

That’s a stupid argument considering most love interests in anime look nothing like real Japanese women anyway.
>>
>>282946524
self-inserts for the target demographic
>>
You’re all fucking stupid. They look like that because neon green hair would look gay and retarded. Nobody considered that black is just a cool color?
>>
>>282946524
>>282946929
would.

sex them, duh

Because man and women are different anon

>>282950129
compelling argument
>>
>>282946524
The Japanese realized anime characters actually do look like white people and panicked and corrected to hard.
>>
>>282946588
can you stop being black please
>>
>>282946524
Anime mostly focuses on female art. The males simply have less thought or budget going into them, so many times they just come up with a generic looking MC and roll with that. But it isn't always the case since a few male leads have actually been well done.

>OMG! They are all GGO-Kirito clones! GENERIC!

I generally like the look. The colorful, venom-haired shounen MCs are cringe and have no place outside of flashy, loud shounenshit.
>>
>>282946524
Easy to draw.
>>
>>282950167
It's a pretty straightforward argument if you live on earth and are part of society.
>>
>>282946524
because their purpose is either highlighting the beautiful love interest and other girls by juxtaposition, or just to be average.
>>
>>282946524
Because everyone copies each other.
>>
>>282946524
>why highschool guy look like highschool guy
>>282947194
If we're being nitpicky then there are probably different designs for guys in some of these series (TTGL, Soul Eater) maybe it's a shonen thing
>>
>>282946524
>>282946929

This is why yuri will always be considered superior
>>
>>282946524
It's the safe "cool" looking version of the average japanese boy. Boys watching will relate to him/want to be him without feeling like he's something they'll never be.
