Why are strong female characters so common in anime?

>>159109234
Because losers who watch anime want strong women to take care of them.

>>159109234
They tried inserting strong women into anime in the 70's and 80's and it really stuck, probably partially due to what's described here>>159109345


Anime companies today thus try to capitalise on this popular, long running trend.

The power of the cock is myth.

It's the same in Hollywood. The strong experienced independent woman that don't need no man fucks up and has to have the man solve the problem for her. Timeskip, she's a dainty girlfriend with no ambitions and immediately forgets all of her martial arts and assassination techniques. The cock claims another victim.

There's no winning this one, anon. Might as well pick a preference and stick with it. The only third option is to go full homosexual and fuck a guy. So that one's obviously out.

Women are stronger than men.

Stop using this meme word when what you really mean is "well-written." And good female characters are more prominent in anime because telling a good story requires good writing. Mind you, plenty of anime don't utilize their female characters very well, but there are plenty that do because of the amount of anime being made. That, and Japanese audiences actually WANT to see stories featuring female characters in prominent roles, even if it's just for the sake of waifuism. Still, a good waifu can still be a good character.
