@scara_379 those actually piss me off more because unlike the very sexualized male version the shojo trope tries to pretend to be deep, when the male lead often has like no autonomy besides devotion to the protag, which is creepy. The only way its not creepy is if you use it as escapism
I had a horrible nightmare: I dreamt that I died before managing to produce any red terror and got white washed by liberals as "one of the good, anti-authoritarian communists".
