>new generation of shonen series are quite popular among women
What's the reason behind it?
>>
>>284688545
Don't let the fucking lesbians steal your favorite IP
>>
They males look like gay twinks and cry a lot. It's fujoshits.
>>
Looks like the most popular shounen are crusty old ones like Ranma, Gintama, Detective Conan, Prince of Tennis, and Haikyuu

I understand conan, he's kawaii or whatever, prince of tennis is fujobait
>>
Why is that despite most shonen manga/anime being mildly homophobic and treating every female character like shit, they still attract large female audiences?

The homophobia should scare away the fujos, and the mishandling (either constant humiliation, competent but never allowed to actually accomplish anything, or lacking screentime. The last one is admittedly more of a side character thing than a gender thing, but the gender ratio means there's enough good male characters to make up for the bad ones, while the same can't be said for the female ones) of the female characters should scare away the rest, but it doesn't.

lots of cool hot ikemen
Just look at how popular Gojo is among women

Women are homophobic, so no foul done there. Women's fiction has tons of degradation too

I like how the one thing all men have in common is that they like scantily clad anime women of all ages. The brotherhood crosses all ages and language barriers

Also the fujo brain works more like this regarding homophobia. "I'm not gay" is a pickup line for slashfic writers.
>>
>>284689082
I never hear someone say "I'm not gay" irl
Is this a US-only problem?

>Shonen has been blatant teasing fujos for 3 decades and just now anons are realizing they have been reading FUCKING GAY MANGA WITH FUCKING FAGGOTS WHO FUCK EACH OTHER BEHIND THEIR GIRLFRIENDS OR WIVES BACK
Hilariously, if you read gay manga you are gay btw.

Female shippers are generally weirder than males. If you have ever been on Tumblr you would see that they try to mix things that seem paradoxical. Many fujoshi hate female characters in their own media, but in real life they act like misandrist feminists who use gay as an insult against men. For many of them yaoi is a way to fantasize about male degradation and humiliation.

I find it absolutely bizarre that juvenile shows like Makeine, Solo Leveling, Slime, Chainsaw Man and Dandadan are popular among men in their late 30s and early 40s.

I guess it is the card game which is that unpopular among women.
The original manga/anime was popular among fujoshis from what I understand.

That is only applicable to older shonen, which had the guts to do it. New ones are too timid to disrespect protected minorities.

Fujos are women, most women are straight, it's not that hard to get
>homophobic
Fujos don't care about real fags, and they can always make their own fanfiction with characters whose personality is distorts from canon, or fujos cherrypicked the traits they like
>>
>>284692840
It's similar with yurifags and real lesbians.

female audience don't really care much for badass cool action girl characters that male authors assume they have to add (before realizing they can't write them), they just want cute boys doing boy things.

female authors are perfectly fine with having the main female characters as non-combatants or jobbers.

Super Sentai has
>more consistent depictions of women, both as heroes and enemies
>higher quantity of cute boys
>more consistent image songs and dance segments
>suits that display more of the actors' body
>more frequent romance subplots
Probably some other stuff but I could see them having a stronger preference for it.
It could also just be that Kamen Rider has a more dominant appeal to the male demo since it isn't saying that Sentai is more popular with women, just the ratio of male to female fans.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn exemplifies this. It was massively popular with female audiences and is the quintessential battle shounen that was carried by fujos. The protagonist's girls mainly just do domestic work to support the male characters and occasionally be damsels in distress so they can get saved. In an infamous scene, they once apologized for leaving the kitchen. The only female guardian, Chrome Dokuro, is a delicate, pretty little thing who can't even be called a jobber because that implies other characters will look strong if they defeat her. She's more a damsel in distress who gets protected by her beloved Mukuro.

>shonen manga being mild homophobic
bro what maybe 40 years ago, shounen manga now is mildly homoerotic, if not outright

And why would women care of female characters are shit on, men love works where male characters exist only ass butt monkeys, if males exist in the series at all
>>
>>284690447
It's popular with elementary schoolers. That's why they got a McD collaboration recently.

I personally think that it's not the best choice of thing for elementary schoolers to be into, but we aren't the power of this world anymore~

>>284701102
The male characters usually get to do cool shit that balances out them being butt monkeys otherwise.

>>284692782
it's the yukkuri lets play videos. Marisa and Reimu are very popular on social media, so jap zoomers find out about Touhou through that

Anime and manga is mostly consumed by women, shonen used to be the exception but now women got their hand on it too, this is not longer a hobby for manly men...
