Why do a lot of MCs want to protect girls who are stronger than him?

Shirou is such a fucking terrible character because of that shit
and yes, I mean *because*
like, his entire reasoning in the Fate route is "lol girls can't fight, that's a man's responsibility", which subsequently gets him killed (but not dead) like 6 times, and is also the reason why Saber can't protect him half the time

>>154259826
Because he was doping?

>>154259919

That blatant sexism is what makes a lot of MCs great though. Take away chivalry and the basic desire of a male to go to the limits just to get the girl, and you don't have those stories.

>>154259609
Even an empress wants to just be treated like a woman sometimes

>>154259609
Because girls can't fight, that's a man's responsibility.

>>154259964
But in Shirou's case, it's repeatedly tantamount to suicide.
>girl swordsman is protecting him from random nigh-unkillable monster
>"lol I can't let a girl defend me, I need to do something too"
>walks forward with no plan and gets his body ripped in half and his organs spew everywhere
>lol but it's okay because avalon can heal him

I don't even know if I want to call Shirou the protagonist of the Fate route; it's more like it's fucking Avalon.

It's natural for males to want to protect females. That's an issue in the military. It's not a sexism thing, it just comes naturally.
>>154259919
That was to show he has screws loose. There's nothing wrong with wanting to help or protect someone, but at worst Shirou was being a hindrance and a liability.

>>154260140

The average 2D woman is stronger than their male counterpart.

>>154260706
Not really, the men don't typically fight back.

>>154260736
They would get fucked up even if they do.

>>154260786
Bullshit, the girls would crumble and cry if the males got serious.

>>154260799
Prove it.

>>154260706
To be fair, that's usually because the women are "Only women can use magic/pilot these mechs/use this macguffin". And the male is the "Except he's the weird exception and so catches everybodies attention!"

I feel like I remember something that started out pretty well where the MC was exclusively a "support" type for the main fighter female cast, and it worked until he started getting weird power ups and jumping into the fight because "muh chivalry/otaku power fantasy".

In the vast majority of series, the most powerful characters are males. Even ones where he starts off weaker than some magic girl. A female being the most powerful is an exception.

But look even here. Haruhi may be theoretically more powerful (unbeknownst to herself) but even she was in shock when Kyon was going to deck her ass. Your average male chooses not to bother with a female.

Have you never wanted to protect someone more capable than you? It's a very common desire.

Isn't the real reason that he fights is because he has a messed up sense of self worth and sacrifice due to having survived the fire?

Even if you know they can handle it, you can't seriously expect someone to be okay with someone they care about getting hurt.

Congrats you've officially read more of the VN than the person you're responding to. Yes, it gets explicitly mentioned multiple times that Shirou's patronizing of Saber is him trying to make up excuses for being in reality a borderline suicidal retard who is just begging to be killed while performing a heroic act

Parents usually teach boys to stand up for the truth and protect the females. It is the validation of the male ego and strength to protect the things he cares about.

I on the other hand don't mind being protected by a girl like Shinka.
