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 anymore, or at least, get minimal attention compared to romantic/sexual or familial ones.
You mean female and male friendships? Because it's not realistic or possible
>>284802369The target audience typically doesn't even have male friends. Asking them to imagine female friends leads to >>284802527. The rare times it does happen you witness autism attacks from anons who likely swear they aren't shippers but can't stop self-inserting into the guy and posting about how bad she wants to fuck him because they made eye contact.
People want to see romance. If something does end with just being friends (like Dorohedoro) people complain to hell and back about it. And even if there's no romance, because people want romance, they ship characters together and then get mad if they don't actually get together. Another example is Ichigo and Rukia in Bleach.
>>284802369That's the case for all media honestly. All of it. Music, books, anime, manga films tv, x, y, z. I guess some how talk shows and news are exempt. I wonder how many people wanted to hear that Kelly and Regis fucked. Only kids media, like very very young, like sesame street or something, doesn't have that and even then it's usually all but implied to be as romantic as it can get really if it's a boy and a girl. But it is especially bad in stuff aimed towards teenagers, which anime is.
>>284802369we just had 2.5D seduction end where there was a clear platonic relationship between the MC and FMC, and second FMC was the winner of the MC cup.
>>284802369Friendship is ubiquitous in anime. I can only assume you're completely mental and interpret all of those friendships as romantic.
The MC needs to be literally me, and if he has a male friend who isn't me that means I'm being NTR'd
