So what's less annoying about an Asian person using those terminology?

OMG, You too?

I love Gunbuster, but the show is honestly terribly overrated. A few sequences in the final few episodes showcased excellent direction Anno would bring to flourishment in Evangelion but there's nothing about it that elevates it to the status of an enjoyable show with an excellent conclusion.

Because males tend to be the most apathetic.

Amateur college-level theses, you mean. Serious research on narrative or storytelling are more likely to describe experimental language, structure and in general the voice used for delivery of the "message" rather than the "message" itself... which any competent author would make as clear as possible.

No, really?

A good story is a good story regardless of the gender of the main character, that's basically my point.

But Sendhil is such a sweetie, I can't see him being an asshole at all. I think it would just make me sad.

Umm, were you trying to say "sympathetic"?

Have a look at Kingdom Hearts sometimes.

Also, I liked the TWEWY designs because it was a departure from his usual stuff.

Also, jesus christ, I don't think he's "ruining Final Fantasy" or any dumb shit like that. The series was at its low point with VIII, everything since then's been an improvement over that. But as a designer? He's boring. His repetitive designs are boring.

But in said stories the main character itself is only an extension of the writer's belief, the sex is something completely irrelevant. A good story is a story that doesn't compromise anything.

No.

Females focus way too much on the emotions. Nothing ever gets done.

I forgot how depressing season 2 ends though. Angel looked like a puppy D:

REALLY!

I was just about the post this. Thank you.

Derrida needs to put down the hackey-sack and get back to damn class.

Sure. But that's not really the point a few of us here are trying to make. I totally agree that there are many, many good stories out there that feature male protagonists -- quite frankly, I wouldn't be able to enjoy popular culture or really, virtually ANY culture if I couldn't enjoy texts with male protagonists.

The point is that it is by no means accidental that male characters dominate cultural texts, or that we -- men and women -- find men easier to relate to. It's sad, but not accidental. And not just sad for women -- I mean, how pathetic is it that people suggest that men can't relate to female characters? Personally, I'd like to think that male audiences are smarter than that, but maybe I'm wrong.

LOVE THIS MOVIE!

This is why you should go straight to season 3 so he can come back and Faith can show up and be gay with Buffy.

116. You know that TV Tropes is a wiki, right? If so, you've got a solid enough argument to edit that out. Just take it out and put a note in the discussion page explaining why you did it.

123. I don't think you can judge an entire group by how they dress. Are some of them like that? Sure! But I've met a lot of really , really wonderful people that wear lolita. (For the record, I don't--I'm currently wearing a baggy t-shirt and ripped jeans. XD;)

129. Eh, well, most animators (and writers and whatever) these days are still male, so it's understanable. And truthfully, I don't think it matters what gender a character is as long as it's an interesting story. It's not like Pixar doesn't have strong females in their works. If anything, some of the time the male characters are less capable than the female ones. (See: Ratatouille. Also WALL-E from what I've heard, although I still need to see that one.)

147. LOL, one of these days I'm going to make a bunch of secrets for my more obscure fandom just to generate excitement about them. (...Oh, wait, I've already done that once or twice.)

148. My Dad is a huge fan of both Jimmy Stewart and Frank Capra, so I grew up watching this movie EVERY. CHRISTMAS. I think I would have a hard time dating someone that couldn't appreciate it, too--I credit this film for my love of angst.

153. ..LOL. AWESOME! THIS IS MY CANON NOW!

154. LOL, I would too. I like Fakir and Autor, but Mytho--or, well, Prince Siegfried--is probably the closest thing to my "ideal guy" I've seen in that show. (But the best part of this is the cod)

Thank you.

104. You're right, but it's a harmless bit of fanon that seems consistent with the idea that he's more fucked up from the war than first appearances would let on. You can make his character work with or without it.

109. Wow. I watched two episodes and was absolutely hooked. Who knew that different people enjoy different things?

124. I don't think that term means what you think it does, OP. The fact that he is mildly insane, has dependency issues like WOAH, is easily manipulated, and is reviled by the person he holds dear, all pretty much mean that he's about as far from a Stu as you can get.

137. DO IT! You and I think the same way, and that fic would make me very happy. (Not 'happy' happy, but ZOMG-this-is-amazingly-fucked-up happy.) I have actually developed a great deal of my perception of Tsuna's character based on this very fact, and I think it gives his low self-esteem, and his need for affirmation, an even greater level of severity. Essentially, I believe that Tsuna is aware on some level that his mother doesn't really see him, but rather 'Iemitsu's son'. All of her affection for him is derived from the resemblance he bears to his father, not because of his individuality. She doesn't seem to have much interest in his life beyond the most basic of concerns (his grades, keeping him fed etc.), and any deeper issues simply don't register on her radar (it's used for comedic effect, of course, but it's quite disturbing when I take the time to think about it). I believe that his attraction to Kyoko comes from a desire to have his mother love him as the individual that he is; he can't get that validation from his mother, so he's seeking it from Kyoko instead--a person who resembles his mother in both appearance and personality.

Yeah, I'm probably over analyzing; but I think it puts a lot of things in perspective. :)

151. ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MANOS HANDS OF FATE... FOR. THE. WIN.

I'd respond to that rationally, but I'm too busy crying and frothing with rage.

And as for that "nothing ever gets done," I think what you mean is, "things get done, but women get paid less to do it." Just thought I'd fix that for you.

You are not alone! I've been complaining about this recently, too.
