I realize that I am not supposed to take this seriously but I feel like we as a society have slipped into a dangerous place when writing feminine women is now tabu and the only way you can wrote good girls is by turning boys into girls... what does that say about society today?

I hadn't thought of it like that. Society is shifting. Male characters nowadays have the freedom that female characters used to have. They can be goofy or slothful or insecure or anything that makes readers identify with them. It's like they said in the Barbie movie: "Since girls can now be everything they feel pressured to be everything." All female characters must excel. Though the new Pokémon series is lauded for having an introvert character.


What two manga are you referring to? I would like to read them.

What two manga are you referring to? I would like to read them.

The two manga that got an adaptation this year or maybe last year is

• Heavenly Delusion . I love this manga and this story.... the idea of having the brother in the sister's body wasn't needed. It could habe been a brother to another brother. But it's so shocking that it worked to advertise it. Now why is it the only instance of it? I don't know.
• Ranma ½ - it's grandfather'ed in from the 1989 but i find it interesting that it got remade in 2024 after 5 years of anime with Gender bender. It certainly isn't the exception anymore that made it stand out in the past;
• Ayakashi Triangle - if you can't read between the lines of that show and ending then you aren't reading it well;
• Back Street Girls: Gokudols: in a crazy world, you are the insane one from thinking about normal. I hated those show until I stopped caring than I loved it for the insanity of it;
• Life With An Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into A Total Fantasy Knockout - Anime and Manga keeps trying to hook you with a "do you think I would? Do you? Do you?". The manga throws everything but the kitchen sink at the fans to tease them.
• Reborn to Master the Blade - King reborn as a girl to become the King of blades...
• No Doubt In Us
• Onimai: I'm Now Your Sister!

With the exception of Back Street Girls these are all anime from the last 4 years...

They aren't jokes or parodies. They are REAL anime stories.

If you add the parodies you would have even more.

This is what I am saying, it feels like the anime reviewer Gigguk is slowly being proven right in that our society has slipped into: "Sometimes the best girl on screen is a dude."
I would go even further and say: "The most feminine girl you can show on screen these days is a guy."

And so, somehow, society has inevitable pushed women back in a box of props for the screen.

It's incredible how the more things change, the more they revert back into old habits.

If in the 1920s we couldn't show females not being feminine, not showing skin, not being anything other than perfect. Somehow in 2020s, we can't show feminine women, we can't show skin and we can't show women being anything other than being perfectly stronger than men...
