Because it's bullshit that only the boys get to do cool things. Rae talks about how representation of strong female characters is important and powerful for women and girls; for her specifically, seeing female fighters, tomboys, and women with masculine skills/interests has been crucial for her identity as a queer woman. Josué & Rae explore several examples of positive, mixed, and negative representation throughout different anime series and categories, as well as a few standout non-anime series, and examine several common writing/character tropes frequently used with female characters. Josué declares further reflection on My Hero Academia is forbidden.\n(Producer Rae's note: turns out there are a handful of Shonen's with female main characters- the ones I could find are Soul Eater, Kill la Kill, Undead Unluck, Dandadan, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 6: Stone Ocean, A Certain Scientific Railgun, Slayers, and Claymore. Frieren: Beyond Journey's end is technically classified as a Shonen due to being published in a Shonen magazine, but there seems to be a lot of debate around this. Know of others?
