if you're gonna have a weird unnecessary harem situation at least have some variety in there. like it can't all be jealous girls put some jealous guys in there too

#harem trope #tbh i kind of hate the harem trope #usually reverse harems too but i feel like those are done better more often so sometimes theyre ok #there's just so many girls (because it's always a guy and yk heteronormacy)#who like this totally average guy #he can be op in one way or another #but a lot of the time either his personality sucks or he's weak (often he's both regular nice and really strong tho)#and at 90% of the girls he meets fall head over heels for him for no particular reason #often dubious morality like a huge age gap or something is there too #and they're almost always super jealous of each other and way to conscious about him coming into contact with other girls #and if they're not jealous then they're like 'we'll share him I'll be glad to be his concubine 💕'#which is usually more tolerable than extreme jealousy #but also has weird vibes for stereotyping and objectification of women girls etc.#anyways yeah #i happen to like a genre that often has a lot of these harem trope things #i suffer every day #i cannot tell you how many series i have quit reading because i just couldn't stand the unnecessary weird harem thing #i cheer every time i become certain it's monogamous #and there is a defined love interest #not even because i hate polygamy i actually was polyamorous questioning for a long time #(until i figured out im aroace and just like having friends)#it's just that the non-monogamy is always weird and unbalanced because it's a super shallow harem situation #idc if your romance is a little shallow but at some point it's just objectification #anyways yeah if you're gonna make everyone pointlessly fall in love with a random average guy #then at least make one non-hetero serious pursuer of romance #and by serious i mean not like purely sex-focused or there as a gag #like being a ridiculous admirer of the random guy's muscles #that's one i think i actually see a lot #i mean but if he's so incredibly attractive that every female in the world is in love with him #then there's gotta be at least one gay person who thinks he's really hot right?
