Leave it to the subject of sexism to blow this thread up.
And please, don't say Fairy Tail is progressive, its not, in slightest and anyone who tries to tell you is full of shit. Every woman in that series is pretty much just eye candy, to the point where most of them literally have the same body type with the exception of two notable characters(One of them being, you guessed it, the loli).
And just because Erza bullshits her way through every major fight doesn't change that.
God I'm so jaded towards that series, its rare for me to ever drop a series but the latest arc just bored me to tears and along with every other issue it had.
But Korra's pretty good, I don't care what anyone says. It ain't perfect, but I was much invested than in Fairy Tail.

A lazy millennial who's good at what he does.After work, I went home. I didn't check the thread for a while. Went to bed. Came back, we're talking about an unholy cocktail of Broly, Sailor Moon, and porn.
And you guys say I'm messed up.
Screw you! Don't make me math you under the table!

- Too weak to even scratch the villain.
- Capable of putting up a decent fight with the villain.
- So powerful as to effortlessly demolish the villain.
I like to think that Master Tien and Master Krillin eventually became like Master Turtle and Master Crane, but instead of being bitter rivals they were friendly rivals.
By the by, it's easy to make a female character that's not, well, problematic in this series, and the audience for it is there. I can assure you that a great deal of us made at least one female character in Xenoverse because we wanted to see a girl pound Vegeta's smug face in. We've all crafted our own fanfiction when we played Xenoverse by roleplaying a little, after all.
Like me. As far as I care, every time I came across Cell, my character asked if he does hugs, trying to find a version of him that would actually come through on his promise to hug me if that was something he did.
Also because imagining Cell's reaction to it is hilarious.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariThat's true. Mine was an amoral female Saiyan who thought Cell was the best teacher ever, hero-worshipped Vegeta for being the Prince of All Saiyans, respected Frieza as her people's employer before that tragic meteor hit, and paid minimal attention to the actual plot; whenever Future Trunks would talk, all she heard was "blah blah fight dudes blah STRONG DUDES blah blah."
...
Y'know, putting it like that, I basically made a villain in protagonist clothes.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Uh... no. You kind of made a Saiyan, who would probably be the Token Evil Teammate. You can even justify keeping her on the side of the good guys because then she has access to better fights.
Also, I don't blame her.
Cell is the best teacher ever.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariI was thinking on making a red-haired female saiyan similar to the one that was showed in one of the promocional arte.
For bônus points I was gonna name her "Regula" after Leo Regulus
"Please crush me with your heels Esdeath-sama!See what I mean?
We all want a female Saiyan.
Not because of sexy, but because it's something different and we want to see it.
Xenoverse has proven that making a female fighter isn't a dumb idea, and that Pan can still be cool so long as she doesn't turn into obnoxious GT Pan who can't even go SSJ.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariMy favorite character thus far is Esme, a black female human who wrecks shit way more easily than my albino Namekian. That human KI regeneration is amazing. She trained with Goku and thanked him for the new skills, but then went behind his back and started using Piccolo's and Cell's techniques again.
I have a message from another time...

I'm not gonna click either of those links.
