What exactly makes a 2D male character attractive to women?
Is long hair a must? Do they like blonde dudes? Most female favorites are dark haired i believe

Hair length, eye color... stuff like that is not so relevant as long as he is drawn to have an attractive face.
Athletic physique, ie. a body that is trained for movement and fight, not lifting weights (bodybuilders attract gays).
Powerful personality. He may follow orders, or be a total rebel instead, but he should at no point be a pushover and weakling.

aizen.jpg - 640x930, 84.27K

I see, so good face, strong personality and athletic physique are the musts.
I'd take being violent and protective of the fmc (if there's one) too

Attitude is number 1.
Women like men that have a dangerous or potent edge to them. He doesn't have to be violent, but he has to feel like he has some mental and physical toughness and bite, if it comes down to it.
A feeling that he has control over himself and his circumstances is a big appeal.
Ideally, he'll have a dark side that he keeps under control that can only be brought to the surface and then repaired by a woman.

Appearance is number 2.
Grizzled looks aren't that appealing. Women generally prefer men that are clean and trimmed.
A handsome face can make up for a few inches of height.
Being toned and strong is a big appeal, but muscle golems aren't as attractive.

A character like Kakashi Hatake, Satoru Gojo, Jotaro Kujo, Levi Ackerman fit these, for example. For names that most people on Anon Babble will be familiar with.
Gojo and Jotaro are both very large men, particularly so in the second's case. But their appeal is a mix of that and their attitude.
The second two are heavily carried by their attitudes. Levi is a short man with a decent face, but has a really attractive personality that is in-control, not a push-over, but also not sadistic and he aims to better himself and those he cares about. Kakashi isn't that physically remarkable and you can't even see his face, but his mix of laconicism and nurturing attitude with a rough traumatized edge is extremely appealing. Jotaro and Gojo also both have this leaned into, with women fanartists/fanfic authors leaning into them being traumatized from their life experiences and requiring nurturing to recover.

Kakashi Hatake, Satoru Gojo, Jotaro Kujo, Levi Ackerman

a certain trend between them seems to be they are broken or depressed
i guess that touches into the ''i can fix him'' aspect

Grizzled looks aren't that appealing. Women generally prefer men that are clean and trimmed.

I feel like that is an understatement, at least in anime and manga. It's straight up prettyboys.

Goofier characters like Joseph Joestar, Laios Touden, or Saichi Sugimoto can be popular.
But they contrast not really having a depressed or broken personality, with being uniquely charismatic and extremely competent, and handsome.

my biggest crushes are Johnny Bravo and Val Hallen, they are not exactly bishonen

Depends on what counts as pretty boy.
Gojo is a pretty boy, he's basically beautiful and is prettier than most of the women in his series.
But he's also like 6'5" and built like an Olympic athlete. And that aspect is definitely leaned into for women fantasizing.

Johnny Bravo Husbando

Explain yourself.

he's such a gentleman and i was always annoyed how girls always treated him so badly for no reason

he's also funny and hot

being good looking

I can't even remember what happened in a Johnny Bravo episode, it's been like 20 years since I've seen that. Also I should probably tell you to go back to Anon Babble or reddit.

Toji is so hot. man btw

Tall and horny for self insert girl with big boobs.

They're usually all tall, handsome and muscular, which is what 90% of women want. Plus 2D lacks the imperfections that can make 3D guys less desirable for them.

The Osomatsu bros would be an interesting case to add here since they're all physically identical and were popular with girls in the late 2010's
The most popular of the 6 were the brooding cat lover, the overconfident womanizer and the constantly smiling dunce while the less popular ones were the normie, the tsukkomi and Osomatsu himself who didn't really have a big standout trait like the other 5

The same way that, I am sure, women hate female characters designed to appeal to men I detest bishounen and preening ikemen.

it's perfect possible to achieve a sweet spot where it can appeal to both sides, like Kakashi, Levi, Laios or Guts

Pretty sure Guts is like 90% man appeal. Observation tells me that being that muscular, scarred and square jawed isn't in line with they types of characters women like the looks of. He is edgy though.

Don't be fooled, Guts is very admired by the ladies. It's just that Berserk in general has a bigger male audience

based taste

everyone likes different things this thread is pointless

White people generally like the same things.

Depends on what counts as pretty boy.

It's a sliding scale of "Clean-shaven adult man" to "literal femboy".
Women who like anime probably have yellow fever like men who like anime do, so it'll tend towards Asian standards of what handsome looks like. So clean-shaven, lean, etc.

People pretty much like all the same stuff.
This is how the romance genre or pornography as industries can exist. Because you can make a single work that has wide appeal.

so it'll tend towards Asian standards of what handsome looks like. So clean-shaven, lean, etc.

Seems to me they're more like 3/4 the way to the "literal femboy" end of the scale.

In terms of 3D I absolutely do not have yellow fever, in terms of 2D though my waifu is Japanese as fuck.

A single thing: the "I can fix him" feel

It's primarily attitude. Fandom heartthrobs don't even need to be dark, edgy or brooding. Hell the tumblr sexyman phenomenon proves that. Freaking osomatsu and rantaro prove that.

He does score, but entirely offscreen. His himboness is endearing though

I like schizos like Nagito, Aventurine, Hisoka and Light the most. There is probably something wrong with me.

Dunk.mp4 - 720x1280, 281.65K

But that's Anon Babble. They like to fuck Triangles over there.

Gaste change over time. Right now NTR is a popular tag, do you agree with that?

NTR is like incest.
It can be tossed in for perverts while only doing the minimum to turn off people that aren't into it.

Check yaoi works, after all: by women, for women. Now check popular male characters in shounen series with emphasis in series with a supposedly "big" female fanbase and check the popular characters and pairings. Now check love interests in shoujo series. Check if there is any patterns. If you want, you can cope with "it's a matter of attitude I'm sure". Then proceed to check the designs for those characters with "attitude".

what are you getting at

What exactly makes a 2D male character attractive to women?

they are split into three different types; pretty boys who can pass for women if dressed in drag (jinshi), handsome men (aizen), and manly ruggedly men with big muscles (toji) but it all comes down to character really. he either has to be popular/rich/highly coveted/basically good at everything (gojo) AND/OR unavailable due to trauma, not wanting a relationship for whatever reason or being a "bad boy" (sasuke) so when his walls come down for the MC, the reader feels special

bad boy poorfag also works

did women like Aizen?

I want Sukuna to rape me

is water wet
Aizen is probably top 3 most worshipped characters by yumejos

Attitude

This. It’s really just to protect her from any other dangers.

tall and handsome, that's about it
women are shallow

moid fingers wrote this post

Are you me? Strong, goofy, down-to-earth characters who aren’t afraid to throw down when it calls for it were always my favorite, namely Gohan, Goku, and Jonouchi Katsuya.

i don't really dig the dragon ball artstyle, but i also like Jonouchi Katsuya

also Laios, Reigen, Dante, etc

Aizen is probably top 3 most worshipped characters by yumejos

LOL no

everyone was crazy about aizen when i was growing up
but for me it was urahara

A friend of mine liked grimmjow because she wanted to get eaten alive by him (metaphorically)

oh shit yeah grimmjow, i forgot about him lol

Not really they're just the most entertaining dudes in their respective series and unlike the protags you suffer no risk from watching their shenanigans play out so you can enjoy them from the safety of your living room.

For me it was always Ulquiorra.

This is a pretty funny thread of people making fun of very normal things to be attracted to. Yeah of course the tall guy with muscles has more appeal than a guy the same height as you with nothing on his body. it's not rocket science, every girl I know is with a guy taller than they are, even if it's 5'6 girl and 5'8 guy.

big hands

They don't care they just want to talk to femanons then bully them.

Even discounting the fact that taste in anime men can be completely disjointed from real life taste (for instance I love anime boys but I haven't let a 3D guy get within striking range of my vajoojay for the last 10 years and I fully intend to keep that streak going) what do you make of shotacons? Or even just that one Hanataroufag? Or anyone who's read a MHA doujin where the boys are 15?

what do you make of shotacons? Or even just that one Hanataroufag? Or anyone who's read a MHA doujin where the boys are 15?

id call them based

Disgusting pedo freaks

I mean I'm a tall bisexual black guy who likes shota porn and occasionally gets laid. Different for every person.

nah, women mostly like the same things. handsome, fit, with a full head of hair. women don't have fetishes like men. you wont find communities of women hunting for overweight, balding, ugly guys in the same way men can have fetishes for chubby women, bald women, women missing teeth, etc.

I'd call you pathetic tryhard retard lol

huh, someone actually likes Laios?
Been ages since I was a regular in Dungeon Meshi threads, but I recall people thirst-posting for all the members of the main party apart from him

i might be a retard, and i am hard
but im not trying anything

you wont find communities of women hunting for overweight, balding, ugly guys

Lmao there's literally a thread about manga like that rn

you wont find communities of women hunting for overweight

Anon, I...

I want to find a dumb shota I can smother my tits with and make him grow completely dependent on me so I can groom him into my perfect sex object then dump him in the trash the moment puberty hits

very based if real woman

In my experience, brown people tend to like the weirdest types because they already feel alienated from society. However, these browns tend to be more normal than whites who like the same weirdness. When a white person goes to the same base weirdness level as a brown, they're usually also into EXTRA weird shit like scat and all kinds of faggoty shit like furries and stuff.

Been ages since I was a regular in Dungeon Meshi threads, but I recall people thirst-posting for all the members of the main party apart from him

Was this before the anime? Because the anime threads had quite a few Laios thirst posting

Was this before the anime

yes

that explains it

Tons of people like Laios. I think he's a handsome fella and I honestly wish I was built like him.

Much like how men are attracted to a variety of different traits in women, different women are attracted to different things in men.
In a general sense, personality and aesthetic matter more than actual appearance, but it's not a hard rule; see Tumblr sexymen for reference. The only traits that seem to be truly universal are

decent emotional range

capable of treating her specially and will at least try to provide for her

not especially misogynistic (gynophobic okay)

somewhat hygienic (some exceptions apply)

no extremes like morbid obesity or tranny/GAMP shit

Women's standards are very low. As long as a character is reasonably entertaining and has some depth to him, you'll get at least a few female fans.

overweight

Rare in anime but probably several Anon Babble men

balding

Baldeni and the Conclave priests fujos are into right now

ugly

Sadamune and Ichikawa

Osomatsu at the bottom.

Shame.

You say that and Jinshi is the most popular character right now

>not especially misogynistic (gynophobic okay)

What's the difference?

misogynistic

Hatred of women

gynophobic

Fear of women

That he has well defined facial features and is relaxed the majority of the time and has enough social power that even if they do act silly people would still give respect.

T. Has never interacted with a woman

Guys can restrain themselves for a chick who is really into them or a chick who has big boobs. But a a girl running into a guy who has swagger is a complete failstate for her. Its why you hear all the time why Tyrone the McDonalds worker cucks Nick from Accounting.

This is because women operate on how they feel not logic and reason.

CHAD.jpg - 3440x1440, 599.07K

that guy looks gay

How does that contradict my post? He hits all the universal traits and happens to be an entertaining character from one of the current highest-selling LN series to boot. It's no surprise that he's popular.
The other anon explained, but to expand on it, a misogynist and a gynophobe differ because the latter invites an "I can fix him" scenario while the former probably wouldn't renege for any woman, no matter how good and nurturing she may be. Nobody wants to be hated.

Finally, the perfect blowjob mouth

CHAD.jpg

Looks hideous.

He’s the stereotypical long hair femboy bishonen like cherry blossom in sk8

ITT Anon Babble and ntrfags try to talk about a gender they haven't spoken to in years

Classic

you're wrong actually

i don't really dig the dragon ball artstyle, but i also like Jonouchi Katsuya

Understandable. Toriyama's art style and schtick isn't everyone's cup of tea. Back on topic, I can't believe I forgot to mention Loid from Spy x Family!

Wasted on a bot

inflated feminine lips

Blecch, he looks like a K-slop band member.

Its why you hear all the time why Tyrone the McDonalds worker cucks Nick from Accounting.

Too much interracial porn?

guy literally has dick sucking lips

interracial cuck fetish

Buck status?

Nobody in that thread is lusting after that dude and even in the manga he gets shooed away then never approaches the girl again

One thing that makes me fall instantly for a character is when he makes things like killing to protect the girl or suicidal rescue missions
I love this trope

I don't blame ya. I think it's a good balance between goofy and when shit gets serious, especially with how he draws facial expressions.

Right? You're speaking my language with those reasons!

Samefagging, but what made me fall in love with Gohan was seeing him grow up and, while hardened because he saw shit no kid should see, was still human on top of everything else and knew he had allies looking out for him besides his parents and especially Piccolo. Plus, little Gohan triggers my motherly instinct every time.

women don't have fetishes like men

nigger what
you named one of my biggest fetishes btw love me some facial disfigurement, missing teeth, broken noses are fucking s tier agh

Guys who get nothing or are third choice unironically trying to rag on a character that was made by a woman and described as "cute guy"

Also flaunting off their off their lack of grass touching in the relationship market

I can get if you dont want to look like a "fag" but to women there is appeal in that as long as they can act like a man.

i am a woman retard, and that guy looks gay

Gohan when through some intense shit as a little boy, but god damn seeing him overcome all that and get stronger made me want to have the same thing happen to me as a kid. Granted I would have died, but a boy could dream.

Are you dumb or something? Post tits & timestamp

Gayness is a spectrum, even if you're not a fag hag.

yours first faggotron

i look like this

Pedophiles are weird and mentally ill, nothing really surprising there.
Most men like women with big tits, a fat ass, and a tight stomach. But there are some that jerk off to neotenous little girls who have none of that.
They're mentally ill.

I don't think it's too farfetched for someone to find an artstyle like that attractive in that way. Hell, look at something like Ranking of Kings. There were plenty of ladies who were lusting after a guy that looks like this.

London?

Depends on how specific those traits are. I've seen like one AW+WM couple in my life at a previous job and the guy resembled Jeb Bush.

For me its Ouken

Look up the yumejo tag on pixiv and you'll find the what women like on a basic level.
My mom liked Aizen a lot. I like Uryu when I was younger and strangely started shifting towards Shinji. Some women will find a character attractive by personality and charisma alone.

started shifting towards Shinji

based based based

Funny this chart works almost the exact same for guys

sex goddess

literal mommy

bully target

pedo circles

Only change I'd make for both gender charts is, wants to play with food/will turn you into food somewhere and make it clear personalityfag is in the middle of the triangle

What exactly makes a 2D male character attractive to women?

They're fictional. Men are only tolerable in fiction.

Based. I'm partial to Domas myself.

Domas is cute but Daida was right about his integrity
Yeah he redeemed himself but still

Oh yeah, he was a complete dumbass, but I get why he was so conflicted.

Where am I if I like cute retards?

I like Domas too and liked the fact the plot wasn't going to give him a slap on the wrist for what he did.
But, him getting kicked in the nuts and crying awakened something within me.
I don't have a humiliation fetish so, I don't what the hell was with that. Cute aggression maybe?

in order LOOKS > Strength >>>>> Intelligence
there is actually a diagram that explains the overlaps

tall and handsome, that's about it

women are shallow

shhhh

what do you make of shotacons?

that they are aggresive in bed

This dude fucks

I imagined Bully/tease target is the same thing as cute retard, but I'm open to moving bully/tease to play with your food and having that corner of the triangle be cute retard, the og chart is missing himbo too

no, he makes love

Since anime is almost exclusively aimed at Japanese audiences, any attempt at an "attractive" male character has to be aimed at Japanese women.
Japanese women like guys with twinky faces. They don't want guys with gruff faces. Facial hair has to be kept to an absolute minimum. Maybe a five o clock shadow at best. Certainly no beards.
Basically, they want Jpop/Kpop boyband members. They don't want actual masculine men.

TALL.
HE
MUST
BE
TALL
that's it really

but but but attractive face

No
No. I'm sorry but you whores showed your hand with this one, death to all of you.

but he's good looking in a gorilla way
no homo

how eerily drone-like

His laugh is really fucking cute.

befriend women and find out

A civil “why women love attractive 2D” thread for once, I’m impressed.

Wat

That manga was so fun. I wonder if I should dump it someday.

just be nice

Smaller or covered forehead, can be hair, or hairline, elongated eyes and sharper jaw. Combined with dadbod

Women prefer pretty boys in anime/manga because vast majority of female anime fans are teenagers or those who are in the early twenties.

this
and western women like them because

it's literally just voice actor and how it matches the character design. beyond that it's how much the story wanks their competetence. See Black Butler for example which is the most blatant example of this. Levis popularity was consolidated during the season 1 airing on Attack on Titan where he was basically the top dog with no rival and talked up on universe as such. The same level of reverence is given by JJK in universe to Gojo. THIS is the common theme and why characters like Hisoka are so loved by them, they are simply the apex character at the start of the series where the most eyes consolidate, the popularity peaks and they form a fanbase. Even something like Gintama has this where the story is non existant but Gintoki's past presents him as the top dog who can mog anyone at will if he tried to. This is why he was favourited a lot on MAL and why Gintama used to be number 1 for a while. This also applies to sports anime where women love the Generation of Miracles or the various midbosses in Haikyuu such as Oikawa who were the top dogs when the popularity peaked during the initial seasons. Competence seems to be the biggest draw as well as how early that competence was established.

bump

What manga is it?

for me it's RAFAL

character doesn't even have to be hot just psychologically messed up and i'll adore im

It depends. Some prefer characters like Toji, who don't look exactly that clean and groomed, because it activates their "I can fix him/take care of him" part of the brain. Others go crazy over characters like Nanami, who embody the "perfect husband" trope (seemingly detached salaryman who actually cares a lot and takes care of everything), and others fall in love with guys like Sukuna and Vegeta, the "bad boys who would hate everyone but me".

men are aesthetics, women are character
as for what kind of character women are after it's the wrecking machine who for whatever reason is down bad for her but never shows it without her initation
they want the sense of danger without any of the risks, the guy needs to be able to pop heads like melons and be competent but he can't make her feel unsafe

as for little girls it's the "i can fix him" types that they're into, young women love a diy character that's a bad boy that needs her to fix his shit up but who isn't a total fuck up

ywv7tmwnwgh81.jpg - 1038x1035, 212.21K

a friend of mine absolutely loved Nanami in the manga

I still had to read it, started watching the anime first instead

he was cool in S1, but couldn't really understand the appeal

S2

that scene in Shibuya where he punches the living hell out of that sniveling sorcerer

mfw

People never give credit to voice acting for a character's attractiveness.

did you know women like men with a deep voice

no need to point out the obvious, it's like having to state out that straight women love dicks

What I wanna know is why women and gay men have such different taste in shota/younger male characters.

Homos seem to prefer the small but hardworking and energetic boyish types, while women seem to like the more effeminate or darker streak types.

For me its bald

file.jpg - 3072x4096, 864.48K

scarred

Women love scarred, crippled, and/or mutilated men. In fiction anyway.

Put together, niche animation makes more than crap generic porn.

Not using the sexo.jpg

I would say I also think for women and the homo, most females in manga are just shit characters to begin with. When you get to the sausage fest in shounen, using kny as an example, the male characters express all emotions, you have an mc who cries, shows growth etc.
On the other hand you have people who like certain tropes and every single character they like fulfills that regardless of gender.

They love the evil 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 male yandere facial expressions.

Nope He's just a stupid Looksmaxxer who keeps creating fictional reasons to explain why women don't find him attractive.

women dont like aizen

??

Anon, how do you account for shotacons?

It's more or less the same thing as with female characters, where there's an archetype for every taste.

pedrofilius femalius

Shotacons don't exist irl. Women like seeing cute twinks get raped and feminized though.

Laughs in Levi, Hiei, Trunks, Sasuke, Killua, Toshiro, Ed, etc.

Shotacons don't exist irl

Anon, I...

Handsome face and tall

Shotacons don't exist irl

Lol. I'm not sure if these woman are happy or sad that their existence is virtually erased from the public conscious.

Women don't find toddlers arousing. Most underage husbandos are 15 years old or older.

Most underage husbandos are 15 years old or older

It's a range between 6yo and 14yo

15 is too old for me

I kinda see where he is going with this considering most of the time I see these incidents the boy is like 6'1 and women don't go for younger guys like men do for younger women. Not saying it CAN'T happen but compared to the male version it just doesn't seem relevant.

These women aren't anime fans.

Yeah you guys have a new loli waifu each season it's actually scary

Guys guys, it's about personality and attitude, and this is easily verifiable. If you transfer the personality and attitude of a male protagonist from a Mayu Shinjou work (or any average BL for that matter) to a short, sweaty, fat guy... I'm sure that character would still be super popular!

13386170994.jpg - 640x884, 209.3K

That means his personality doesn't match his looks.

anon women are into character and power, it doesn't matter if you're a 2'2 ugly bastard goblin as long as you're hung like a horse and can make her "feel safe" (sense of being dangerous without making her feel too scared)

That reminds of my theory about why a lot of men like Anon Babble: Since shotas aren't particularly tall, muscular or well-endowed, a Shota Complex is the antithesis of hypergamy. The idea that a cute face and a thin body are enough is something you commonly only see men state. A female shotacon essentially has rather masculine standards, making her more relatable to men and simultaneously alleviating common male insecurities.

to a short, sweaty, fat guy

Do we have a major anime where a short, sweaty, fat guy's the main character and in a position of dominance? If not we can't write it off. Height especially doesn't seem to mean much as far as appeal in anime since like mentioned plenty of short characters have had legions of fangirls.

As a man I like Anon Babble because of the gap. Women simply can't be that kind of presence to you as an older teen or man.

I've seen women make thirst trap edits and animatics of these guys on tiktok. You don't have to be handsome for women to be attracted to you.

You just have to have a certain flavour and/or energy to your personality. Women want characters, not people that blend in with the rest.

Only irl. In anime the rules are different and tons of short characters are popular with women
anyway picrel is not even considered attractive among women

No offense, but that's a needlessly complicated theory. The answer's much simpler. Most of us are self-inserting as the kid and imagining banging the sexy older women in our lives from back then.

Calm down, nigga.

Nanami is also my favorite JJK. Absolute husband material.

Face, hair, height, body, personality, voice as well.

Do we have a major anime where a short, sweaty, fat guy's the main character and in a position of dominance?

We have thousands of manga written by women.

very gay image, and so it op

Men have testosterone. The dick has different wants than the heart.

Now check love interests in shoujo series

After reading Nana I was surprised that women preferred Nobu, since I always thought Takumi was based and Nobu was a faggot. Even if Hachi didn't get knocked up, she would probably still end up with Takumi since he always accepted her for who she was unlike Nobu. It's like the anime equivalent to Carrie choosing Mr. Big over Aidan.

Women like men that have a dangerous or potent edge to them.

This isn't even true anymore, shoujo/josei love interests have been completely boring for the past decade or so. A far cry from Domyouji, Kashino and Usui

This is from the dexter show right? I wish they had a full series. I also had a crush on him. Dumb long haired blonde persona, reminds me of Gaury

053_1.png - 1442x2083, 846.72K

the only gutsfags are women who were around back when berserk 1997 was popular and it was primarily a factor of griffith x guts shipping. every modern gutsfag is a borderline homosexual male self inserter though.

This is from the dexter show right?

yep, The Justice Friends

I disagree. "yellow fever" in this context only applies to people who flock to koreanworks. Most of these people are also asian themselves either exchange students or in Chinese enclaves and they can read the various novels in source language. Western as in white female fans haven't gone beyond fujoing sports or battle shounen.

Nana was such a retard and you think Takumi was a good choice, they had a shotgun wedding to give their kid some dignity and he is cheating on her. Are you a cuckqueen? Also her previous boyfriend was literally her soulmate

IMG_9272.jpg - 180x204, 11.96K

Osomatsu is the biggest example of how anime is carried by idolfag voice actor fanbases. Each voice actor when taken alone are able to inject any given series with rabid fans who will buy every good and support it just because their voice is in it. The fans for Osomatsu are actually shipping the voice actors together lol.

I was so young and I vastly preferred anime since it was popular in my country but I would watch Dexter just for him

Dorohedoro men are fantastic, this dude knows how to draw men, you can tell how much he appreciates the male physique

I was so young and I vastly preferred anime since it was popular in my country but I would watch Dexter just for him

you are literally me
but damn cartoons back then were so much better than the ugly shit nowadays

Nobu was in love with an idealized version of Nana in his mind that she'd never live up to because she is, like you said, retarded. It was either Takumi or being alone.

for character

nope. the male just has to be competent in universe. Their goofiness, quirkiness, comedic incompetence are only endearing if when all cards are on the table they show their dangerous side. See Hisoka, Gintoki, Yato, Sebastian, and so on. It's also why villains and mc who could easily kill the girl stand in character are really popular especially if that kill can be delusioned into protect. Girls were already worshipping Levi halfway into season 1 before any "character" was revealed besides him being the in universe benchmark for competence.

I can understand that because I have been a Sawashirofag since I was a teenager.

This and GFD

Right? Producers have known this for decades which is why that faggot Nakamura is in everything and why Hanaes voice cracking fag voice is everywhere. Even English dubfags have this element as I saw it happen with Naruto, 86, and Beastars.

You have no pride if you settle for a cheater. Now since Hachi is fucking stupid and if she were to say that she is staying with him because she likes being a rich housewife then that's acceptable because she doesn't have any other aspirations.

dude

lmao

Dumb newfag

So she really is a woman? People were saying it was woke propaganda but these kind of people are also really pathetic so I wouldn't be surprised if they denied it

She would've been settling if she ended up with Nobu, who would've given her a stable (read: boring) but unhappy relationship.

i like fictitious men on both ends of the spectrum of 'i would kill' and 'would kill me'

I think the way she speaks is very masculine

That you know of.

Hachi is traditional, dumb, and boring. They would be happy. You are just a cuckqueen

See is this kind of shit combine with "is a publicity stunt!" She is probably a tomboy. So do they say the same thing about dungeon meshi's mangaka?

Relena?

I think is a woman because what she made is something that's very hard to describe basically is "cute suspenseful horror" "cozy horror" is very bizarre. just look at kikurage, only a woman could design it and make the mafia boss dote on it. However, part of me wondered if it was a man because Nikaido's tits look and behave like they are plastic so as a woman she should know that but at the same time she might have small tits like most Japanese women and not know how big tits behave. A lot of the references they used is also porn which is why a lot of mangaka's tits drawing look like implants.

On paper Jinshi is the type I tend to dislike, an overly feminine man with long hair and gay voice is just icky. But surprisingly I found him quite refreshing when I actually watched the show. So I'd say it's his personality and the dynamic he has with the MC that make him appealing, not his looks.

Wait are you guys talking about the dorohedoro mangaka?

van halen's face and hair is pretty feminine though

Who cares what women think

me

We're all little girls here.

Say what you will about JJK, but Toji is peak male character design. And I'm saying that as a dude.
Since chicks apparently like the JJK guys (Toji, Nanami, Gojo, etc...) as well, I really gotta to hand it to the artist. He has an incredible talent for making universally hot male characters. Usually, female targeted hot guys are either pussy-ass pretty boy or YAOI anatomy freaks.

jjk has literally 0 women so the author is either gay or a girl

I know Nobara is a meme, but Maki and Mei Mei?
But anyway, even if the author is a woman, I can respect the character designs.

Maki

looks like a man

mei mei

last seen fucking her little brother (based)

Maki before being burned up was sexo incarnate.
Mei Mei as well.

based retardGOD

This. They probably can't even think in the first place.

at least they're keeping it contained here

Why are foids so deranged?

implying that also doesn't apply to men

Toji and his voice are pure sexo.

fictitious

Would you rather they become real life serial killer fangirls?

This. It's not much different than yandere lovers.

Sukuna's voice is better, followed by Nanami

What are the takes on Hokuto no Ken's cast? Ken, Rei, Toki, Raoh, etc. Obviously very 80s action inspired.

They should be dominant.

Women (as a baseline template, don't get your panties in a bunch), are locked in perpetual competition with other women. The ideal man in this conceptual woman is one who beats the competition, because it's HER man, or rather she's HIS woman, that makes her the winner in this theoretical competition. Having said man do a power play where he tells you how beautiful you are while humiliating (and therefore, dominating) another, inferior woman pretty much hits every tick in the box for this woman-concept.

This is of course where I put the big fat disclaimer, for the sake of not getting called an incel by some retarded bitch who doesn't understand that exceptions can and do exist, that not all women are into stuff like that, or choking, hitting, CNC, and all of that other stuff because they're still (mostly) sapient beings.

evil women threads

brat correction threads

canon rape threads

ss threads

femdom/gorira/muscle threads

whats the problem

It's pretty much just the idea that you, with very little experience and a shit ton of hormones (really fucking easy to excite) as a boy could land a woman that can take care of you (and i guess whatever you produce)
Some girls who drew loli shit have entire manga dedicated to teacher crushes, nearly the same thing but probably slightly less sexual.

Good post. I've always believed that even darker fetishes (besides rape) exist in degrees (though if a woman doesn't know what she's doing and reaps the consequences, that's on her). You can't really get more basic than a woman taming a handsome rogue with their "magic pussy" or an average Joe having a "magic dick" women can't control themselves over/taming an evil sorceress queen.

they'd probably consider them too beefy

Ken doesn't always look ultra beefy, but I get where you're coming from. Given there's girls who like Jotaro I just kinda got curious if that extended to older stuff.

Kinnikuman has fangirls especially to guys like Brocken Jr. and Robin Mask.

It was either Takumi or being alone

Excuse me? Nana was right there

Long ago, I remember running into a reaction video or something where some Italian girl said Raoh was beautiful.

Even then people weren't 100 percent on those boys actions. I'm pretty sure none of the billions of Hana Yori Dango adaptations kept Domyouji trying to rape tsukushi (as in actual rape not "oh no I can't tomaranai myself" ravishing)

My wife likes

tall

thin

glasses

sardonic

dark hair

they prefer saint seiya cast and drawing yaoi doujins about them

That's different, that's comparing.
The story would be different if he said something like her being the most alluring thing he ever seen or something among these lines

That would be even worse.

Saint Seiya is bishoujo as hell in comparison so of course the appeal is there, HnK's cast are largely macho men made for 15 year olds to get inspired by (probably inspiring more gym sessions than crushes), but I think that's why the question is interesting.

For me, I don't like masculine male characters at all. I prefer "femboys" or boys who look like girls who look like boys, but not traps. Maledom is usually a turn-off, too.

I prefer "femboys" or boys who look like girls who look like boys, but not traps

They're basically girls (male) then, what's even the point?

Theoretical dick, I guess.

Just say the girl is a futa then with a quirky personality

The dick and flat chest is what makes it for me, honestly. I prefer my boys pretty.

But futa arent men

May as well be at that point

is that anything like you?
my tastes in 2D and 3D are completely different, i always find it odd when women goon over the same traits in both realms, i think it goes hand in hand with self-insertion psychosis

no women likes fat characters thou, they either like a twink or hunk with muscles, that's the options.

anon is right bro you cant win. strongfat and dadbod dudes have a sizable female goonbase, obeasts go more into fetish territory, but the idea of being pinned and crushed is arousing to a lot of females as well

I have a friend

no women likes fat characters thou

see kek

Needs to loose 10lb to have actually attractive body, but that's not fat.

says who? a moid?

I am female (XX chromosomes). Loosing weight won't make Laios better tho, he is annoying autist.

uh huh

Shit personality eclipses any good looks, yes.

except that Laios personality is the cutest thing

Hell no. I almost dropped DM because of him.
What is that with japs making MC the worst character anyway.

shit taste

yea, liking Laios is indeed some impressive shit taste

Exactly like me but I ditched the glasses before we met (to her annoyance)

I've been into 2D my whole and have hyperfixated on a lot of different characters throughout time, but my number one is Kurapika and I don't see that changing. He's literally perfect. Everything I want in a man.

factually incorrect

kurapika

man

He's a man. Sorry if that makes you feel gay because you're attracted to him. It's understandable.

Just because you don't go to that side of the internet doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Okay, what about female characters? Which archetype women tend to enjoy about them?

why did it got moved here

are 2D men technology?

wtf is going on
