Why are "girl failure" characters so popular now?
>>739329817Girl dorks have always been popular, girlfail is just a fancy new-ish word for it.
>>739330067Basically this. It's just zoomies word for characters like tomoko. The female introvert or fuckup type has always been a popular archetype.
>>739329817Becuase we want to feel appreciated too
>>739329817It's a slippery slope meant to condition humans into accepting the existence of ratgirls.
>>739329817Because for years, every writer wanted to write a Girl Boss character and now, everyone's sick of them.
It's the response to a decade of girl boss shit being pushed. Women realized no matter how rigged society is giving them jobs (jewish daycare) they still are lonely suicidal depressed hags.So now instead of embracing being a girl boss they are trying to embrace being depressed and suicidal.Hopefully all women kill themselves soon.

>>739330463feet appreciated too
>>739329817safe horny slop, same reason hags are.
>>739329817victimhood is a really high status marker but women live life on easy mode and need to create conditions to LARP as oppressed (i.e. boring mid-30 white women who have no personality identifying as "non-binary" to try to seem quirky or unique)
>>739330814>liking older women is bad because uhhh normalfags considering socially acceptable
>>739330189Tomoko has a unique bitterness and inner vitriol that sets her apart despite being a social disaster.Your average dork in the "girlfail" sense is typically someone trying to act competent in a loud way but failing and crashing when shit hits the fan, often in an amusing or retarded way.
>>739333491tomoko is a bad example, pretty much any character from azumanga besides chiyo is a different flavor of girlfailure, especially the teachers or sasaki's autistic ass
>>739333491There is absolutely nothing unique or special about Tomoko, right down to how the second she put in even the slightest effort she was suddenly surrounded by a gorrilion "friends".
>>739334103Any character who enthusiastically declares something only to get shot down with a comical reaction is able to be lumped in.>>739334759The result is not what matters, Tomoko is different. She's like a quieter version of Wada from that food court anime, she's got too much inner issues and the characters typically discussed in the context of the term in the OP are more outgoing to give them room to fall flat on their face.
