Sexism goes both ways: shounen heroes are depicted as strong in battle, but bumbling idiots when it eg. comes to romance

*with "comedic", I refer to the comic mode, not the comedy genre.

Well... You do not need to go as far as Japan to notice that brute force and intelligence or social skills don't always go hand in hand. Nor do physical beauty and intelligence, for that matter.

I'm unsure what you mean.
If you're talking real life, it makes no sense to discuss stereotypes.
If you're talking popular culture and entertainment, Western culture definitely has its stereotypes as well, but I was under the impression that we were discussing anime

Jeg kunne også fristes til at tro, at debatten er ved at tage en drejning til, hvad der generelt gør sig gældende i den globale underholdningsbranche.

Jeg er naturligvis enig i - at Vestlig populærkultur på ingen måde er en bedre fortaler for ligestilling.

Det er dog sjovt, at Kiwi netop påpeger komikken - da det også har undret mig, at dele af anime-industrien har et behov for, at iscenesætte seksuel chikane som "ganske almindelig drengerøvs-humor", hvilket kan frygtes vil kunne gøre selve gerningen mere acceptabel.

Jo - der findes en masse moden anime - men det er nu engang det banale shounen der er primært meningsdannende (i mangel af et bedre ord).
