There's probably something interesting to be said about how primarily male-targeted IPs like Genshin or Arknights depict "feminist fantasies", not despite of their intention as male-targeted, but because of it.*


*(if you want to have a bunch of badass waifus who do cool stuff, it would be actively detrimental to show them struggling with sexism. likewise, too much discussion about gender could drive a (pericis) male audience away, so they don't discuss it.)

> Some type of weird resentment over his popularity with female fans because something something why won't women fuck Nice Guys.

> They're upset that girls are shipping Joker with Akechi instead of their waifu and they're taking it out on the character?

> Someone on Twitter said that these guys want Akechi to be their yandere girlfriend, but he's a dude, and it makes them sexually confused. I don't think this is true but it is funny to think about.

Any more theories?
