“You can’t have a character with big boobs and not sexualise them”
“There aren’t any feminist female characters that want to do things that are typically feminine”
“There aren’t any badass gay characters”
“There aren’t any cool/badass disabled characters”
“Okay well what about disabled POC characters?”
“There are no interesting or complex villains! None that ever question their morals, or have an interesting motive”
“There aren’t any women characters that don’t just do things for men”
“I want a poc character that fights against racism”
“There aren’t any cool characters that aren’t young and healthy”
“There are no male characters that like feminine things”
Need I go on? Go watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.
Fullmetal alchemist also tackled the issues of imperialism, genocide, PTSD, friendly fire, racism, war brutality, and military corruption unflinchingly. “Most military commanders are killed by their own disgusted soldiers.” indeed.
THIS POST IS SO PERFECT I SWEAR.
Damnit I REALLY HAVE TO WATCH BROTHERHOOD
Might I add that Full Metal Alchemist is created by a woman?
Might I add that she originally published the FMA manga under a false name that was the male version of her name so that more people would read her manga? And it then became the most popular manga in Japan and when it was finallt revealed that the author was a woman, it was STILL the most popular manga in Japan. Everyone needs to know about Hiromi Arakawa!!!
