Anyone else like Traditional Gender Roles in Anime?

[Shiro Darklight]

Didn't know that. Too bad the character isn't modeled on Wonder Woman, like Supergirl on Superman, etc. lol

It'd be kinda neat having a guy wear the american flag.

And, this is being taken too far. There is always going to be a target audience with each and every show made. Whether it be sitcoms, dramas, suspense, fantasy, anime, cartoons, whatever. It is not possible to make a show that caters to every single persons need. Just like it's not possible to please everyone in general, it's not possible to please everyone with a show, so don't hold it up to that standard.

Directors do what they think will catch the target audience. It may not always be the most upholding and dear policy to every single person that watches it, but it works. It's what has worked for years now. Sometimes, yes there is a goof-up, sometimes it does get offensive. But if Sailor Moon and/or other anime that did similar things would cater to every single person, it would be a Mary Sue show.

I just find it weird that you single Sailor Moon out for something tons of fictional works do but with the opposite gender. Tons of shows, movies, books etc have way more male characters than female. But when Sailor Moon inverses it, it's wrong?

It's not the gender dominance of character I take issue with, as I already stated. Naoko could have still successfully made Sailor Moon lean towards a mostly female audience in mind without that hurtful rule put into place.

I mean that why would a guy have to be a Sailor Senshi? There are powerful, good male characters in this show, too, they just aren't Sailor Soldiers.

If you read through everything I've already expressed in this discussion, you would have already found your answer from my standpoint. Happy hunting!

I'm gonna repeat myself: it's like how in Wonder Woman only women can be Amazons. So what, there are girl only groups, granted, not many. I'm not gonna whine about not being in Girl Scouts, because I have the Boy Scouts (and I am a proud member of the scouts, so bite me). Girls have the Amazons and the Sailor Senshi, boys have the Z Warriors. Don't like it? Be an X-Man.

Exactly, I have the right NOT to support or like that way of thinking and grouping.

I honestly think this debate has reached the point where you all need to back off, respect my difference in opinion, and simply agree to disagree. You all are turning into a bunch of parrots.

Alright. Why don't you start.

Oh no, I'm definitely not going to do that for you. Why don't you brief me up?

Uh, so you're saying that we should just either read everything you've already said over again or just leave you the **** alone because we're either stupid or just plain wrong? If this is not what you mean, please do re-phrase.

Yes, yes I do.

Uh, dude, you were one of the people to get it so heated in the first place. And calling everyone a bunch of parrots is outright disrespectful. If people were repeating your perspective and agreeing with you, you'd have a different attitude toward them. You weren't forced to keep replying, and there was nothing keeping you from "agreeing to disagree" in the first place. Just sayin'.

When I think about it now, Heavenly kings are just as cool as the senshi. They don't get elemental power, but they get awesome swords and great armor. I kinda wish there was more canonical stuff that elaborated on the Earth Kingdom.
