Yeah, people do hype up FMA as a feminist shonen anime, sometimes THE feminist shonen anime and seem to think no other shonen has ever been written by a woman.

I'm someone who thinks FMA is overhyped about most things, including how feminist it is, but... this scene is not fridging. Like, even if it were in the most unfeminist anime ever, that's not what that word means. I don't even think it would count if she sacrificed her life and not just her arm, because an important part of fridging is the woman's lack of agency. I don't think fans would call it fridging if it happened in Naruto either, and if they did, they'd be wrong.

AYRT

>>this scene is not fridging.
I agree 100%.
It's why I think OP is just tired of people hyping up FMA, because they're just grasping at straws with this. It's not fridging AT ALL.

I didn't know FMA was regarded as the feminist anime, but to be honest, I followed it 15+ years ago now (JESUS CHRIST), so the discourse over it probably changed a lot with the new generation.
