#we can also segway into a conversation about how traditionally cisgendered the women in yugioh (and shounen in general) are presented

me: damn why does the yugioh anime suck with how it handles all the female characters
shounen genre:
me: ah, of course
#tag: yugioh#it sucks so bad that a defining nature of the shounen genre is that female characters are often presented as#something for the male characters to desire#and that even if the female characters are written with a decent amount of depth to their character they are still at the whims of#heterosexual (cisgender) male desire#even though the original manga includes this i'd argue that it's the most tame compared to its adaptations#which really isn’t saying much considering how early yugioh was lol…#also not to mention whyyyy is there recurring exploration of romance between adults and minors#iirc in the manga it's like a two-time thing that happens with mai and ryuzaki but it's so brief and gets dropped for the rest of the story#we can also segway into a conversation about how traditionally cisgendered the women in yugioh (and shounen in general) are presented#but that's a whole other can of worms#btw can you tell i just finished ep 80 LMAO
