Doesn't that describe the mischaracterization of like 99% of male protagonists in the history of fandom.

Yes.

Because being sweet and cute and submissive are ideal characteristics for women (particularly in Japanese society) so that the protagonist can become a stand-in for (an idealized version of) the author, fulfilling fantasies of sleeping with said attractive, masculine male characters without fear of judgement (for creating a self-insert, or having said desires) or sexual elements that might hit too close to home.

The other half are actually trying to write the damned character.

/shit everyone already knows but people get mad if you say it anyway
