but Goku belongs to "Then" category, shitposter kun.

my own explanation pulled out of my ass is that the industry realized making mcs that fujoshi will flock to doubles their demographics. goku doesn't fit this but it's the industry's trend. I have nothing to back this up other than the voices in my head.

akira kisses dudes canonically.

I think interesting designs matter more than buff muscley men which is why I'm fine with modern protoganists. What really bothers me is the decline of the quality of writing.

4 of those aren't even battle shonen

zoomers would probably believe in that one "toxic masculinity" video starring ashley burch

Deku is the worst MC of Shonen jump history

Nevermind. I forgot Dragon Ball came before the OVA series.

shonen protagonists are pussies because the mangaka who wrote them are pussies. boys have their whole identity neutered at birth, they grow up watching girls' cartoons, because no one makes shows for boys anymore, and so they grow up thinking like women.

demon slayer has a cutesy art style but at least it understands that evil must be destroyed not talked into apologizing

>lean teenage boy with spiky hair
Bravo
I am not saying the Then category is necessarily more interesting

so did Achilles

dont forget raise by single moms and zero male teachers that arent faggots

And you forgot to add that Tanjirou and his friends are actually FITand SWOLE. It's just that their kimonos keep hiding their muscles

Asta is ripped dude

>MOEfied face
>needs new forms each arc to stay relevent
>has no character development
>always spares the villain
>tires to befriend every opponent
>relies mostly on blast spamming during battle
>Is voiced by a lady
>each shonen made ever after has to copy those tropes to appeal DB to consumers
OP has a point, Tradku killed manime

Listen up battle shonenbabies
We moechads and yurichads have risen to power through our strength and will, and now you fear us. Everywhere you spread your propaganda. Everywhere your spic followers whisper your lies and call us pedos! But more than that, you fear our money and creativity. You are wretched and weak - sniveling insects who cower from the truth: that your manly manga was always garbage, that you needed fujobait , ikemen and romcoms for your "manly" magazines to sell, that your era is over and that we have always been here. Now slice of life shall be your end!
