Why are weebs so afraid of having Manly Alpha males as protagonists?

Target demographic has changed.

>99% of weebs are losers who had shit school lives and were social outcasts
>therefore they prefer seeing some beta/average joe get all of the girls instead of some 6ft+ stud

>>160128654

Do you know what a weeb is? These shows are not made for weebs.

>>160128682
The word weeb has lost whatever meaning it used to have.

Weebs
>DUDE, 5ft7 LOSERS CAN BE ALPHA AS WELL! THEY DON'T NEED TO BE MUSCLE BOUND 6FT GODS! THAT'S JUST UNREALISTIC

Feminists

You're just proving OPs point

>all of those edgy skinny fuck boys

Are you trying to help OP or something anon?

>>160128610
How the fuck do you consider Stella, Soul, and Nashetania the protagonists of their respective series? This is some grand tier bait, but I'm too drunk to care. Just go do something else anon. Anime is clearly not worth your time.

>>160128610

Assuming that your "modern" list is an accurate portrayal of the type of protags used in recent times, the only reason I can think of is because of the self-insert aspect to anime.

I doubt many people who watch anime are ripped, manly looking guys. As such, most people who watch anime can't really identify with those characters.

Just a guess, though.

Well for one most of the shows on bottom are targeted towards pre-teens
Also it's not the 80's anymore. You can be skinny as a stick still be considered manly, depending on how you act.

No, not the point that I was making at all. I'm just stating that people who watch anime can self-insert easier into someone who is more of their body-type than someone who isn't. They want to believe that people who are like them can also get cute girls to like them not just big muscly guys.

Its more like they're trying to delude themselves by watching anime than it is like they're trying to accomplish some outlandish social justice agenda.

>>160129873

>"Dude, I really find it problematic when people have these females with big tits and 10/10 faces because it's just unrealistic and makes it hard for me being a 200 lbs lard ass to self insert
>Dude, I really find it problematic when people have these 6ft+ males with their huge muscles and 10/10 aesthetics because it makes it harder for me being a 5ft5 skelly/fatty to self insert

Sounds the same to me

>>160129838
it's true though. I mean I know you're just an insecure shit poster but most guys aren't muscle demons.

>>160129955

They don't necessarily BELIEVE that fatty/skelly people can perform as well as huge muscle men. They just temporarily get to put themselves in that situation easier than they would if the protag were a muscle man. Whereas, feminists actually BELIEVE that they are as good as 10/10 big titty women.

I suppose the difference here is the necessity to believe in one case but not in the other case.

>>160128665

Thread should have ended here.

Tis a new generation of Nu-males. The old 80s sttyle "Action Hero" is long gone

>beta becomes an alpha through hard work and perseverance
Gee I wonder why shows like this are popular

>>160129955
No one says that, you're just beating the manlet meme into the ground like a redditor. Furthermore, any lard ass can lose weight while a person can't just magically grow in height.

>>160128610
Is your definition of alpha someone with borderline personality disorder and/or psychopathy ?
I can almost smell your adolescence through the internet.

I love cherry picking!

I'm glad the medium shifted this way. Sharing the fandom with GARfags was making my acid reflux flare up every day.

>>160128610
Why is Simon in there?

Unironically because characters used to be "people I want to be" and now they are "person I currently am"

Same thing is happening in movies, comics, books, etc.

>>160128610
alucard and goku (adult) are both overrated. cowboy in general is too overrated, so fuck spike. uniteresting hack.
jojo is for fags and guts ass was raped by a nigger, so fuck him

in the other hand: Simon, Eren and Saitama are top tier.

This is a double shit list

Onepunchman is epic! He can kill Goku in OOOONE PUUUUUUUUUUUNCH.
He is way cooler than any of those fags from the 80s or whatever because he's invincible and faster than them without eventrying.

>>160128610

Saitama is alpha

The amount of 3D in this thread is disgusting. Get out, and don't ever come back.

>>160128867
Saitama and Simon have abs like you'll never have in your lifetime you chubby, insecure fuck.

>>160128610
Saitama and Simon really don't belong on that list
Gon and Soul are young so their appearance makes sense.
Other than that I agree, protagonists are getting super beta

>>160128610
Gone are the "Patlabor" character days, when the characters were more suitable for normalfags.

Blame Eva.

>>160128665
Bolocks, there are just no stories with settings that require an alpha male.

No Black Lagoons or Darker than Blacks around nowadays. I want anime where the MC is a badass, but it doesn't sell to otaku who want moeshit. Like a plot about competing drug dealers or gun smugglers. Or thieves.

I mean Simon grew a gigantic pair around the end of the first arc

>>160130196
This. Being alpha doesn't sell when the buyers are betas and omegas.

>>160129349
Putting Shinichi Jojo Gon and Sasuke on anime protagnists now. Fuck you

>>160130389
Unless you're a legitimately short male who is like 5 foot 5 height doesn't fucking matter

Why do you care about the opinions of bitches?

>>160129628
'Relating' to a character doesn't really matter. Otaku see artificial spaces as exactly that - completely dissociated from reality. Real world simulacrum (physical ones at least) have very little bearing on what kind of fantasyscapes they consume. This is evidenced in the fact that many Otaku actually identify as the girls in many of the shows they consume. The reason for the feminization OP talks about is because Otaku themselves are are looking for an escape from the hegemonic masculinity that's so pervasive in Japan. They're rejecting the monoliths they see in society by 'becoming' these feminized characters. It's not 'self insert', per se, because that implies the real world 'self' having any sort of involvement in the fantasyscape. No, EVERYTHING about it is fantasy. They completely embrace the Otherness of the characters to the point where their 'self' doesn't even exist to be inserted anymore. It's something else entirely.
