    all of this, and also i related to her mental instability and how she was willing to do anything (even hurting all dude’s friends) for her love. she was also portrayed as pretty hot headed, which is something i’ve never been so i sort of admire it in other people/enjoy seeing it in fictional characters.

    these aren’t traits everyone is gunna like in an anime character, but to act as if they aren’t there and that everyone just likes her for the waifu bait is plain ignorance.

    @FLIZZY already did bro, why tf would i be lying about why i like a character? if i thought cartoon girls were attractive i would just say that, pretty sure i wouldn’t get judged too hard itt for that

    Ok just read it

    These are the traits of an existent trope “yandere”

    It’s ok if you like it but she’s not one of the greatest characters of recent time

    Main reason is because Franxx is not well written that’s why I compared it to a VA novel it’s just sci fi / romance fun that unfortunately also had a s*** ending

    I didn’t say you were lying I asked why she’s so special to you

    Ok you know what I’m taking it way too far

    It’s not my business which characters or anime you like or don’t like, I’m happy you like it

    you’re right about her having many of the traits typical of yandere characters, but it’s actually her subversion of some others that makes her such an interesting and slightly more complex character than she first comes off

    i totally see where you’re coming from, but i’ve never really understood how mfs identify with bland ass main characters like old dude from Franxx not saying it doesn’t happen/isn’t intended a lot of the time tho. and if you call it wish fulfillment even without the viewer identifying with the MC/doubt the viewer’s ability to separate themselves from the MC, then you’re applying that criticism to literally any story in which the main character falls in love/has a love interest

    The magic of the self-insert MC is that you can target self-inserters with multiple different types of MC. In the case of Hiro, being bland and having no strong personality traits lets people self-insert because Hiro wouldn't do or say anything that goes against their own personality. Self-inserters get to sit back, relax, and let a cute dino GF aggressively declare her love for them without the pesky MC doing or saying anything that would break their immersion.

    Actually, since we're on this topic, now's a pretty decent time to drop my hot take: if a female character is romantically interested in the male MC (aka the viewer), they are automatically disqualified from being a good character.

    The common character traits of the most popular anime girls are:

    1. They're attractive
    2. Not romantically interested in anyone except for the MC
    3. Unconditionally loyal to the MC despite the MC's flaws
    4. Usually takes the initiative to declare their love first (optional)

    Wanting the MC's cock is not an interesting personality trait. Wish fulfillment ruined anime.

    I agree and disagree. I agree that there are a lot of anime with self insert, blank slate male main characters and the perfect, pretty female love interest who is mostly interested in them. It’s the kind of escapism a lot of anime viewers want.

    I disagree because you can make a character like that interesting. Maybe make her personality stand out more than her attraction to the boring male character. Or if it’s a romance it works more because the story is about a relationship anyway, so they might as well be romantic towards each other. Most of the good romances focus on both love interests equally.
