Different anon but

1) yes but there aren’t as many as male characters. It’s also dependent on what genre you’re into. If you’re into shounen anime you’re pretty shit out of luck finding well written female characters. It’s all about the type of media that appeals to you.

2) you can but it’s harder for some women to do that because a lot of one note female characters are entrenched in misogynistic writing that’s really hard for some women to get over and I don’t blame them. One note male characters usually aren’t a sexy lamp/damsel-in-distress/“the mom” or insert generic stereotypical woman role here.

NAYRT but don't one-note male characters often come with their own dumb stereotypes?

- brooding villain
- useless/dumb dad
- dumb jock

Yeah but that’s not really problematic or objectifying or reducing them to eye candy the way women have been over generations. I mean it’s shitty but that’s more just generic bad writing rather than women getting hit with bad writing and the uncomfortable subtext of misogyny that still effects women today.

There’s a really good post I saw that explains this. (Note I don’t agree with everything 100% but it makes a lot of sense):

" If you’re into shounen anime you’re pretty shit out of luck finding well written female characters."

Maybe twenty years ago, but there's plenty now

hell, even 20 years ago there were still good female characters in shounen stuff.
