What is the deal with the sharp uptick in these laid-back/droopy eyed male characters in modern manga?

Do modern demographics think this is appealing? All it tells me is that the manga has a shit MC.
>>
literally me
>>
This has been the default MC since Kyon-kun
>>
>>287089431
Kyon at least had a personality, and expressed a wide range of emotions.

Nah, it's not. You drew that conclusion because you have autism.

>>287089376
Idk but I fucking hate it as well. Especially the one with the basic bitch short hairstyle like Nishikata and Gojo Wakana.
Hell, give me back the Kirito expies. Twink bishies looks way more entertaining than this shit.

>>
>>287089869
still literally me nonetheless

This type of protagonist has been popular for a long time and as another anon pointed out is largely inspired by Kyon, but there are other instances of it as well. It's an old archtype because that's how a lot of teenage boys view themselves.
If you're noticing an "uptick" in it you're likely just consuming more romance where it's most common. This sort of protagonist isn't really that popular in isekai or mainstream stories, but it's the default for romance, especially when yo have fated meeting (some "lazy looking but smart" protagonist meets the hottest girl in class for x reason and they fall in love).
>>
>>287089580
Kyon-kun made it mainstream. Every MC was Kyon-kun for at least a decade after he dropped
>>
>>287089431
Kyon unironically mogs most protagonists nowadays since he actually feels like a relatively normal person and actually expresses emotion
>>
>>287090974
perhaps
but Haruhi was already a product of existing otaku culture, it didn't invent anything
and now it is completely memory holed as well
I'd say Oregairu is way closer to modern romcoms and it is most likely what they keep ripping off
>>
>>287090958
Show me some examples from 2000-2009 then. That's the era of romance I'm most familiar with and I don't remember this type of MC being anywhere near as prevalent.

If it wasn't a fun, expressive character like pic related, it was a generic template like the guy from Shuffle or Ai Yori Aoshi.
>>
>>287091150
>Haruhi was already a product of existing otaku culture
It took moeshit from a niche genre to mainstream. Kyoani garbage was only possible because Haruhi made that popular

ALL of these MCs are found inside works alongside an extremely hot anime girl. The MC is not supposed to distract you from the hot girl. He’s not supposed to absorb the spotlight, the hot girl does that. The reader isn’t supposed to be highly invested in the male, they’re supposed to be watching the hot girl. If the viewer was watching for the purpose of being invested in the male, they’re the target audience for Shoujo, which has much more fantastic and extravagant male designs.

This thread was made by the same school rumble husbando faggot as always wasn’t it? The MC is not supposed to be a le epic based racist pervert with aspergers, for the same reason he’s not supposed to be a disgusting fat awkward otaku. Get over yourself.
>waahh waaahhh the self boogeyserters are taking away my gay husbandos!!!! Nooo I can’t just watch shojo you owe me a gay husbando in everything
>>
>>287091687
>retarded prey eyes

You mean the big, glossy, permanently surprised deer-in-headlights template? Like the Kirito clone starter pack where the eyes take up half the face and he’s got that blank, slightly worried stare 24/7 like someone just told him his mom walked in on his harem?

That’s basically 2008+ LN adaptations in a nutshell. Zero edge, zero sharpness, just soft moeblob pupils designed so you can project your entire personality (or lack of it) onto them.

At least the narrow/sanpaku type has some bite. Even when they’re “self-insert,” they look mildly unhinged or tired of everyone’s shit. Prey eyes just scream “please let the pink-haired girl explain the plot to me again.”

Pick your poison I guess, but I’ll take smug slits over wet hamster gaze any day.
>>
>>287095677
Not how it works idiot. Just because tards like yourself demand the most shallow and vapid form of vicarious entertainment doesn't mean others can't take notice of unsavory trends.
Just the fact that people are starting to notice droopy-eyed males from the usual generic template MC is reason enough to have a thread about it. Again, it doesn't matter what crybaby autists like you get triggered by.
>>
>>287092901
>Anime name?
Bunny Girl Senpai
>>
Now here's a good generic template MC.
The most generic design imaginable, yet his actions are anything but generic. Rather than being drawn to resemble a "bad boy", he actually is a bad boy defined by his actions in the story.

Makoto is and always will be far more based than the "droopy eyes" bores.
>>
>>287095735
Crybaby autist behavior is making 900 threads screeching about any male MC who doesn’t resemble your gay husbando. You are so obsessed with Kenji that you are now literally criticizing MCs for having a negative canthal tilt whereas Kenji has a positive canthal tilt. Nobody is “starting to notice” a “trend” about male MCs with negative canthal tilts - this is completely beneath the notice of any normal person especially within these shows where an extremely hot anime girl is always present. You sound utterly fucking insane.

No, autism is going on an anonymous imageboard and conflating dozens, possibly hundreds of people together, even though you have zero means of identifying anyone. It takes a seriously stupid retard to make the assumptions you're making.

No need to project your insecurities at the end there either. We can all see you're not mentally right in the head; just your choice of words is a dead giveaway. I recommend you get some help, anon.

>>287089376

Anon, you are yelling at clouds like the mentally unstable loser you are :)
You have no data to support any of the assertions you're making. You are clinging onto several-month long grudges held against anonymous users who obviously put you in your place, and conflating all of your enemies into a single entity to vent your anger towards.
It's ok anon, you're clearly not very smart, and you're suffering from rather unhealthy delusions. The first step for you is to swallow your pride and get some help. It will be for your own good.

Shoujo literally means female retard. If you wanna know about reclusive loser try spamming the same argument for 8 months after losing it.
>>287096810
Tons of male MCs have this look (small pupils and eyes is an easy trick to differentiate anime genders) going all the way back to Toradora! but OP might not care about Ryuuji because he has a positive canthal tilt that resembles Kenji Harima's canthal tilt and this is actually the core of OP's criticism if you can believe something so ridiculous.

The filename of that image implies it was hosted on some kind of character database, and that it was saved from google images or something.

See that's your problem, my autistic friend. Your brain has concocted the delusion, and you refuse to accept anything other than your nemesis making threads that upset you.
The problem is, you spend way too much time on the internet and 4chan, and it's having a corrosive effect on your already small brain. You find all kinds of meaningless intricacies like "image MD5s" and people posting about "Harima Kenji", yet don't possess even a tiny modicum of substantial evidence that links this all to one person. Nevertheless, you continue to believe it like the severely mentally ill freak you are :)

Those two posts being from the same person has nothing to do with the post with a Harima image, which you're lumping in with the same guy you were arguing with.

WTF are you even rambling about here? Again, you're crazy. Completely lost your marbles lol. Too much 4chan has broken your mind my man.
>>
>>287099568
No, writing voice and prose are different concepts, so self-pwn. IPs can change frequently depending on the device so I wouldn't even use that myself, but the sad irony is that you can't even use it to prove yourself right. You prefer to just ask people to produce evidence you know is impossible to produce.

You think they're actually this mentally ill, or is it just a complicated game of who can act the silliest to rile up the other? An extreme case of who's trolling who?

Try replying to anything I've said so far without an insult.
>>
>>287099768
Already tried, and you fell into a recursive loop of asking what evidence you're expected to provide to prove your laughable, unsubstantiated claims of poster A being poster B and C. There is little point in continuing when you have debilitating autism.
>>
>>287099806
I need evidence so that I can say it doesn't count.
>>
>>287099806
Not already having an articulate standard of evidence before asking for it is an extremely reckless dialectic oversight.
>>
I just think it's really funny that people here go so far to defend such awful character designs.
>>
I just think it's really funny that OP got raped so badly when defending this character design is supposed to be hard.
>>
>>287099855
This.
>>
>>287099844
No, it's very obvious what was being asked, but being the crippled autist that you are, you decided to waste hours of your day indulging in mental gymnastics. Such is the life of a low-IQ autist.

It's not, because it can't be state or quoted by anyone. You're just petulantly refusing to the answer the question because you know it will result in the immediate destruction of your argument. I had already presumed that was the case which is why I was already gloating about how I'd won the argument when I said "this should be cute". >>287098688 That's how fucking badly I intellectually dominated you. I've done this to you at-least twice as well. You have once again been vaporized by my Rich Sanchez orbital logic ray.

I just think it's really funny that people refuse to even discuss the topic of the thread.
Makes you wonder what they're trying to hide.

Wow, who could've predicted this reply? You know what's funny though? I bet the next time you make this thread, you won't bring up your faggot ass homoerotic obsession with your husbando Kenji. Actually, I you definitely will because you're an easily identified creature of habit.
>>
>>287100069
That explains a lot actually.

>>287100092
>you won't bring up your faggot ass homoerotic obsession with your husbando Kenji
still waiting for you to provide evidence linking the OP to harima kenji, or that he's a "husbando" of the OP.
better yet, i'm also waiting for you to show evidence that i am the OP, or that i am the person who posted the harima kenji image.
>I you definitely
thank you for doubling down on your stupidity and illiteracy, retard.
>>
>>287100139
>still waiting for you to provide evidence
>i'm also waiting for you to show evidence
Still waiting for you to explain what evidence are you expecting me to produce. I'm actually not waiting for it at all, because I know you won't answer because it destroys your argument. I'll continue to hammer it every single time you say this though. 7-0.
>thank you for doubling down on your stupidity and illiteracy, retard.
Weird, I thought AI was writing my posts. Two. Steps. Ahead.
>>
>>287089376
The reason it's like that is to reinforce the fact that males are not allowed to overshadow females due to the fact that in general, female characters are designed to be the object of affection.
Females sell the series, they sell the merch.
The audience wants females.
If they start doing nale characters they are cute or have a form of appeal, the audience will start getting scared because they will be seeing a man who is better than them in every way possible and it will cause them an immense amount of fear and mental anguish.
Anime for 30 years has been romance, rom com, slice of life, and cute girls doing cute things. It's a machine that has been tuned to milk the otaku fanbase who wants girls and wants to feel safe and comfy.

Complete and utter idiot.

That explains the generic/template MC designs, but I'm still not understanding the droopy eyes shit that's becoming increasingly common in manga.

>>
>>287100208
Even if I hadn't already provided a bulletproof modus operandi substantiated with enough archive links that it could put someone in prison, you are literally asking for something but you cannot tell me what you are asking for. There's no excuse for that in any scenario.
>>
shit man, tanaka-kun did a number on the industry, huh
>>
>>287100294
You're just a standard mentally ill retard who lost an argument and resorted to using AI to defend yourself, without realizing it has trouble grasping context.
You have no evidence, you picked out three random posts from the archives with zero correlation and tried to say they were the same person. You're a complete moron and you know it.
>>
>>287100249
It's like that to reinforce certain stereotypes and tropes while also ensuring they you have a character that isn't threatening. A guy with dead fish eyes is not going to set off fear alarms in the eyes of the fans because that soulless stare communicates a lack of ambition. A lack of ambition basically signals that character isn't a threat and will also not grow or change.
Some people also talked about haruhi and the guy in that is basically there to be the straight guy or the deadpan in order to contrast the high energy and appealing female character.
At the same time youll realize that even the dead look is appealing in female characters. People will see female characters of a wide variety of personalities and realize that those personalities are acceptable because they are female. Apply it to a male and you'll see that it's not accepted and also hated.
>>
>>287100349
>You have no evidence
This statement has no effect on me because you are unable to articulate what it means in any meaningful way. Better yet you probably do have an idea of what it is but you refuse to say it out loud, because you know it will result in the destruction of your argument. Intellectual dishonesty is less respectable than retardation.
>you picked out three random posts from the archives with zero correlation and tried to say they were the same person
Nah, all the links and posts I provided are the complete opposite of random. Same filenames, same hashes, same arguments, same evidence, same rhetoric, same characters, even the same insults. It's called a modus operandi and it's something that holds up in a real court setting. Petulantly demanding that I provide... something... that you can't articulate isn't going to make that go away.
>>
>>287100432
Time to let it go and take the L, idiot. You're repeatedly fighting a battle that you lost hours ago.

ai post

>>287100518
Quite the opposite my good Sir. I have actually completely orbital nuked you with Sanchezian dialectics and I have stolen all your internets for today. The same thing will happen again when you remake this thread in 8 months.
>>
>>287100432
>Same filenames, same hashes, same arguments, same evidence, same rhetoric, same characters, even the same insults
But absolutely nothing linking these three posts to one person >>287099365
Hell, where are the "arguments" in these posts you linked? I'm not seeing anything. Does your autism riddled brain see something that sane ppl don't?
You're hopeless xD
>>
>>287100548
Nah, you lost, and your usage of AI makes your loss even harder. Sorry you were dumb enough to resort to using a chatbot in an effort to win an argument over 4chan archive posts and desperately trying to link random people together.
>>
>>287100580
I actually have no idea what you're trying to do with this post, you appear to have fucked it up because one of those posts is my post, in particular it's an instance of another question you refused to answer because it destroyed your argument.
>>287100612
This post is a mega lose-lose moment. Even if you believed I was using AI which you probably don't, it'd mean you're literally sitting here feeding insults into ChatGPT for some reason.
>>
>>287100727
It's time for you to swallow your pride and accept you lost. Unfortunately you were too stupid to figure out how to back up your impossible to prove claims.
>>
>>287100804
It's not unfortunate that I was unable to back up claims—it's actually unfortunate for you that I provided a bulletproof modus operandi proving that the posts are made by the same user who wasn't even able to articulate what standard of evidence they were asking for on top of the already irrefutable proof provided— It's like Rick Sanchez meets Chuck Norris—a true testament to pure internet debate ownage.
>>
>>287100393
>Apply it to a male and you'll see that it's not accepted and also hated.
kind of contradicts your first paragraph a little
>>
>>287100887
Why should I indulge your obvious AI posts anymore when you already lost? Even noticing your AI is repeating the same phrases and punctuation.
Move on anon, we already know you're stupid and desperate, nothing you say or paste from the chatbot will change anything.
>>
>>287100924
>Even noticing your AI is repeating the same phrases
Gee, what kind of standard of evidence is that? ROFL

Imagine relying on a chatbot on 4chan and getting exposed.
>>
>>287101051
Wow, you were able to use JUST writing style and punctuation to conclusively decide that a post was made by a certain identity, in this case, an AI chatbot? You did all that WITHOUT extra ancillary like the same files being posted in the same argument about the same works about the same characters? You didn't even need IP information or CCTV footage or some shit? Sasuga...
