Hello, I am back here again for another rant on shoujo mangas. Scenario One: Girl trips on a flat surface. Guy catches her with a hug. Girl falls for him immediately. ... I can see that Bella is not the first in this department. Weak, helpless females seem to be erotic for some reason. In my opinion they are about as attractive as a toddler learning to walk. Because seriously, that's how many times the guy has to catch her. And the fact that he hugs her there is not sweet, it's creepy. I mean, it's your first meeting and he hugs you? That's not love, it's physical attraction. Learn the difference, please. And as for the guy, dude it's just the ground she's falling on, not a bed of nails or something. It is all very sweet of you to show your love for her by yelling and acting all frantic, but to the rest of us you're just a melodramatic idiot. Stop overreacting please. she is not made of glass. Unless you are saving her so that her blood won't spill because you are a vampire, in which case please do not save her so that you will commit suicide after sucking all her blood. Scenario Two: Girl hates guy. Guy also hates girl and is a jerk to her. Suddenly, guy does any of these things - saves girl from thugs/refer to scenario one/blushes in front of girl/kisses girl randomly/gropes girl randomly etc etc etc and they fall in love. Really? Falling in love with your sworn nemesis? It's just like Edward falling in love with Jacob - okay, bad analogy - or me falling in love with chilli sauce because it kissed me on the mouth. I hate it when they fight and then suddenly the guy hugs her and then they start kissing... I always pretend I didn't see the last two parts. Scenario Three: 'Hello, friend. Nice weather, isn't it? I just wanted to tell you that I've been in love with you for, oh, about seven years.' Rather than being romantic because this guy wasn't attracted to other girls all the time, it's rather creepy because all that time you thought of him as a friend he was thinking about making out with you... er. Plus, he might have just made it up and has been saying that to every girl he has known for seven years. Pimples and any other signs of puberty (eg. armpit hair *cough*) are non-existent. Even if they do appear in the story they generally disappear once we zoom out from the character's face. Studies are also non-existent. Schools are just there so everyone can wear uniforms and the mangaka can slack off drawing normal clothes (because that is oh so troublesome. Clothes change EVERY DAY! How can I draw different clothes for every single day? It's impossible!) School might also be there to put the main characters in weird situations such as valentine's day, school festival or whatever. Boyfriends are practically required. Anyone who does not have one is a nerd and only cares about studying, which is non-existent in the story so they are only there to be jealous/form a fanclub for the main character. Why the heck is there sex in there? And with strangers no less? With no contraceptives? (or pubic hair, I might add. Pubic hair is only for old pervy men that try to rape the main chaaracter.) What message is this sending to teenagers? And they complain about teenagers sleeping around at such a young age. Right. We totally get that premarital sex is not cool. Why would we ever think otherwise? "We were meant for each other. I know that we truly love each other and care for each other. Oh, and he has ABS." Enough said. NOBODY IS PERFECT. Do you not get that? And if you think that you're being creative by going against that statement, then welcome to the land of m/gary sues, those detested by all humankind (well, at least the sane part). Girls who dress immodestly and get molested are just asking for it. Stop whining about it and shrieking for your bf to save you or anything. ('I wanted to dress nicely for you!' Grow up, kid.) Get some common sense, for goodness sakes. I wish to find a girl in a shoujo manga that does not blush. Heck, even finding a girl that does not blush is rare enough already. ... I cannot believe I just wrote about pubic hair on my blog. But still, it is good to be frank and straightforward about these things. I wonder who reads this, and if they'll look at me strangely tomorrow. Then again, it's not like I haven't done this before. I don't want to do homework meh. Or have tuition. Oh crap, I just remembered I have to do something which I forgot about and thud did not do and it will be the death of me so yeah bye. |
