Gender is purely a bit of cultural appropriation from organics that ended up merged with their mindset to the point that their Allspark started to reflect it in the lives it created after millions of years of collective lives and experiences were added to it.

But they do not have boobs.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

I realise that everyone here but Pyro has never seen Summer Heights High.

This makes me sad.

Arakune was an interesting chracter.

And then the rest of Blaz Blue happened.

Everyone lost their memories and are now STEP BY STEP retreading the first two game's plot but with the new super cliche clone characters phasing out all of the good ones.

And some evil god thing in the background trying to kill everyone.

Like I hate to sound like mariotehplumber here, but the progression of Blazblue feels like an allegory to how anime is steadily being malformed into pure straight male pandering smut and near paedo-equse tendencies.

Characters like Arakune, Valk, and Tager don't appeal to these fetish-y themes (unless Arakune is gunked all over Litchi) so they are phased out of the plot. Their stories are basically footnotes of Litchi, Rachel, and the now playable Kokonoe's stories. Many Japanese anime also throw beastman like characters to the side like Jubei but tend to focus ten times more on beastwomen characters like Makoto. (In fact for FFXIV, this was why Mi'qote were originally female only because the producer didn't like the idea that people wanted to be cat men.)

On the other side, male characters that do tend to get more attention such as Ragna, Kagura, and Naoto are straight male power fantasies that are also conspicuously covered by multiple beautiful women all the time. Carl and Relius seem to only get attention now for their creepy once human women now turned into puppets when it comes to the story.

Previously tame female character designs constantly get retconned into risque stripper outfits once the characters become playable, or Mori just spends way too much money redrawing a sprite to make it appeal to straight males (NOEL). As of right now there are four walking robot girls in super tight spandex (make that five soon and you bet there's gonna be one for Celica in the future) and Nine has been reduced to, well, let's not talk about Nine ever. Bullet is forever just irrelevant to anything plot related and Amane is there for ??? I guess it's worth having an excuse to draw every female character as a small child for "some mysterious crowd" who could that ever be???

Heck, the addition of Hibiki is probably the only positive addition to the cast in a long time. When a pseudo-melee clone of Noel with the personality of burnt toast is a good addition when plenty of great characters introduced in the first game aren't playable because they're one pixel shorter than your totally legal playable little girl character there's a fucking problem.

At this point I'm 99% sure Mori is a gigantic troll who's entire effort is dedicated to making us question why the hell we played his games in the first place.

Also I need to get back to playing Hakumen

And this is basically why I can't enjoy anime anymore.

Too much boner-pandering.

Makes me feel nasty whenever I see it.
