Nah even with "my hormones boiling" I was still able to see the flashyness and try hardiness of those covers for what they were and didn't felt exactly compeled to buy comics (especially when next to it were european series and japanese series that didn't stoop that low for my attention during that time )
Fate stay night is another good deconstruction of the shonen/hero genre. It sadly beats you over the head with its message of critiquing typical shonen heroes trying to save everyone yet it still works well.
Yeah, but hunter is never about saving the world, the one saga it had about that was the very saga that makes you wonder if humans are all shit xD
Actually, Sailor Moon can get dark and grim. Stars in particular, is the worst arc for Usagi and the one she suffers the most. Manga is even worse than first anime. In fact, she started deceiving herself after what happened to Mamoru in front of her.
That's the thing, these stories never had trouble being dark when they needed to be even before a bunch of people decided that they should really be about torturing girls. I see people say that Madoka was about how gaining magical power has a cost, but that sounds like a pretty weak premise for a deconstruction. Being a hero in stories never comes free, the cost is all the responsibilities and dangers involved in being a hero.
Also because an awful lot of women who do practice archery sportively have posted thousand upon thousands of articles nitpicking the previous desings (and rightfully so) to hell and back . Trine 3 was the most eggregious of them all since she was sporting a double recurve without having the entire arm covered and no sign whatsoever of a protective breast pad . At least in Trine 4 despite droping the double recurve bow they gave her clothing that is ample and poofy enough that you can "head cannon" that she wears a breast plate of some sort under those clothes (not ideal but even atheletes sometimes prefer not having it in view )I would like to point out a positive change in one game series called Trine, which is made by an indie company Frozenbyte. They recently released a trailer for Trine 4 and the woman protagonist (out of three continuous protagonists) had a positive change in her clothing.
So instead of cleavage and cut all the clothes so she shows as much skin as possible, in Trine 4 they actually made her have pants on and an outfit that fits her class and role in the game (thief/stealth). The other two protagonists already looked like their classes, with wizard having a magical robe and the warrior/fighter having an armor, and now Zoya too looks like the class she represents.
It feels like more and more women are making decisions for the female characters and it results in us being presented like.......equal humans. Pretty cool huh.
It's nice seeing series getting more respectful for female characters. Unlike Street Fighter and SNK.I would like to point out a positive change in one game series called Trine, which is made by an indie company Frozenbyte.

I didn't wanna make this its own thread out of fear of being called a "clickbaiter" or whatever, but there's something I recently noticed about Super Paper Mario that is very disturbing.
The villain's plan, as shown in the opening cutscene, is to open a dimensional rift that will eat the multiverse. He does so by making a chaotic, universal law-defying act happen - the wedding of Bowser and Princess Peach. Now, you may be asking, since when would Princess Peach agree to do that?
The answer? The villain's minion with mind control powers makes her say "I do"
Now, you may be thinking "That doesn't count as any form of consent!" I agree! However, this still counts as a "marriage" enough to open the rift.
What the fuck Nintendo.
If this has a better topic to post it in, I'm sorry, I will correct my mistake if it is one.
I mean Granblue has been nailing the side story part with their fate episodes, and you can say that Xenoblade as a non-paid gatcha system too.
Madoka isn't really about the whole at a cost thing as much as best of intentions can be turned in on themselves if invested in unreliable sources . Because of:
HxH obviously does its deconstruction better than Fate, lol. It just focuses on breaking down the standard hero story in three different ways. The VN and anime aren't for everyone so I get it if people don't like it.
That's cool, good spot!I would like to point out a positive change in one game series called Trine, which is made by an indie company Frozenbyte. They recently released a trailer for Trine 4 and the woman protagonist (out of three continuous protagonists) had a positive change in her clothing.

I'm guessing it's the "It's just a game" thread where more than one poster, but one in particular, said they never enter this thread as they would be banned and we are an echo chamber, aren't willing to show the other side, nothing wrong with liking T&A, yadda yadda etc. :/
But if iz not neeked iz not exposed so iz doesn't count !
Are they truly hero's tho? They only received this power, as a price to have their wishes fulfilled. In truth, they basically suffered a monkey paw like situation, as most of their wishes backfired. Sure they may save people, but the main thing is that they basically sold their souls and the price is that they have to fight.
Problem is they don't care one single bit for a single second so until they wear one it just doesn't click in their head.
When online and not in person yes there's definitely a possibility of it happening but in the flesh you'll see them all try to weasel their way out of having to wear one and not because it lacks protection but because they know full well that's its objectifying as fuck and don't wanna be seen in one .
And I'm totally in agreement with you on that one , but at least they got ridiculed and you get to have people point and laugh at the mother fuckers . Public shaming the old fashioned way , force them into the situation and have them witness that they're alone in that boat ...
Then how come we disagree with each other so many times on so many things . Sorry not sorry but you can't have your cake and eat it too , either we are all in agreement all the time or we're not ...
Those disagreements are always about the same and involve the same people. Every time a new face shows up with a controversial opinnion, they don't last long.
