Propamanga

Before Pride went to work today, he was lurking B&N's manga section to search for next manga to consider and he found [he aint saying this manga's name]. Its name and cover flailed how much of an LGBTfest it is Pride was curious and gave a 5 page sample read because he optimistically expected to be pleasantly surprised He was not Protag is a transgender with pigtails and sad because no 1 likes her (Biologically male) And deuterag notices how friendless she is and says "I wanna be your friend" Yeah, these characters are written like commercial props Pride jumped to random pages to get random samples of panel flow and prose Then he saw protag fan servicing "Oh fan service, you" Pride thought to himself as he closed the book to look for others to consider buying next After work, Pride did some research He saw more pages of characters being written like commercial props and vol 3's spoiler is protag and deuterag go to a pride event Fuck this book, it's absolute soulless propamanga Pride wants gendered characters written like Re:Zero's Crusch and Felix/Ferris Those 2 are ambiguously gendered Crusch wears men's clothes because she hates looking feminine She's a big military boss who even fights on the field And she has an air of masculinity She's a woman who gets shit done and expects everyone else to get their own shit done too Felix/Ferris is halfway to being transgender He wears girly clothes and in the novels he talks about how he prefers giving himself a more feminine, similar name But he doesn't go demanding everyone use female pronouns on him The story's fantasy world doesn't even have a concept of transgenderism Those 2 are just being themselves in their own genderly nonconforming ways And they're well written characters because they feel like real people with their own free will and history Also, Felix/Ferris is a fucking OP lord. In vol 8, he canonically dies and revives himself And he can control a person's blood flow to make them faint for the pacifistic take down Or he can boil his enemy's blood to cause the most horrifyingly painful experience
