Why are male protagonists only interesting characters when they are gay?

Techinically you are right since Yuu is the protagonist, point still stands
It’s true
It's not true user....
It's the only time they aren't self inserts since gays are a minority, they actually have to put effort into making them compelling characters
Except they still don't, OP's pic is a prime example.
Because you’re a fujo
Because you're gay.
Gay men are the only good kind of men
but yuu isn't gay either he is for smug chan
They're not
Because you're a retarded fujo.
Unfortunately he's retarded.
Maybe but this anime has nothing to do with your question since it's not gay...
>only interesting characters when they are gay
Because judging by your post you're gay too and it is better for you to self-insert this way
Their sexual orientation is irrelevant. Male protagonists are interesting only when they're short and and they're constantly teased and embarrassed by bigger girls.
Straight protagonist:
>generic self-insert
>always has generic crushes on generic love interests
>love interest always has no personality and is only there for fanservice
>love interest is always weak, always has to be saved by the protagonist, and you never get the sense that they're both equals
>relationship with love interest is never developed; they just end up married in the epilogue
>protagonist and love interest have no chemistry and are only together because one is a boy and the other is a girl
>always does the annoying trope of having a bleeding nose when they see a girl naked or becoming weak vs. a female antagonist
Gay protagonist:
>willing to die (or kill) for his love interest
>grows up alongside love interest (you can see their friendship and chemistry grow over time)
>has no alms about fighting women (based)
>always has a scene or two where they talk about how his love interest is the "light of their life"
>love interest is his equal and they fight side-by-side
>in fact, sometimes the love interest saves THEM, instead of being a helpless damsel in distress
>never a generic self-insert; always has a unique personality
Because you're a faggot.
Fuck either a virgin fantasy or a faggot fantasy.
I just want my characters to be badass.
Because you are a faggot
The gay protag sounds like a huge sissy. As he should since he's getting ass ravaged by a man.
>Sometimes HE is the damsel in distress in need of saving
This is not a good thing.
>love interest is always weak
Duh. She's a woman. Women are weak. That's what makes them cute.
>has no qualms about hitting women
Probably can't since he's a huge faggot. And most Shounen MCs don't hesitate to hit women. Hell even harem MCs don't.
>they're childhood friends
Common for straight MCs as well
>no chemistry for straights
This is because being straight is the default therefore it is perfectly reasonable for people to hook up because one is a boy and one is a girl. Homosexuality is relatively unnatural therefore only manga dedicated to the fetish explore it.
Smug-chan a faghag
based and true
Female protagonists are never interesting.
>Put effort into making a gay character
>Character only trait is being gay
It's just the the same as in western cartoons.
The one true based post.
You are wrong though
Dumb whore, only good for rape.
Wont happen, 40yo virgin mangaka that still has fantasies about his school days will never write badass character.
Maple>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>every isekai MC
Female protagonists too!
user recommend animes/mangas w gay protagonists
based
>kawai meme girl
Fuck no
You know only gay people celebrate being gay only, right? They never celebrate anything else about gay characters, like their intelligence or good looks. Just gay.
Nice bait thread
Hunter x Hunter, that's actually what I was talking about on the previous post
with how much gay HxH has , i love how pitou fags still try to pretend that he's a girl
Nah
Because you're a fucking fujo who's fixated on pretty boys.
t. fudanshi also fixated on pretty boys
unironically true. male relationships are usually developed very well and written to be deep and complex, it's a waste to throw that away just to have the protag get together with some pushover female side character
>t. Started watching anime 2 years ago
Seriously watch more stuff you stereotypes-spouting newfag, also from the past
>gay people never celebrate a character's good looks
Are you completely retarded? Spend two minutes on /y/.
Weren't he in love with their older sister?
>Pic not related
>Weren't he
Where is the rest of your post? Did you had a stroke?
This is bait, but it does bring up an interesting point. If Yuu was a girl and nothing else were different, then Mika would just look like a simp and Yuu would look like an impossibly-oblivious retard. Homoeroticism is what makes their relationship plausible, and their relationship is pretty much the only interesting thing about this stupid show.
That scene where Mika bites Yuu is fucking hot desu.
Didn't this anime just end on the world ending or something like that? It's been a while since I watched it. Continuation when?
Mika as a girl would is better.
>more competent than the childhood-friend male protagonist she reverse-simps for and constantly has to rescue
They could call her Mikasa.
>Did you had
he based
>Why are male protagonists only interesting characters when they are gay?
Because you are a literal faggot.
Stop making fun of the esl
Usually fujos make their male characters gay but they also make them attractive. You perceive them as more interesting because they are more attractive. A mountain of research can attest to that.
I only watch anime about men doing straight, manly things like sport.
>Hiatusfag
>fujo
Double cringe. Watch more anime. Also not even canonically homos.
Are you okay there?
Because somehow they are less faggy then, than they would be as hetero harem twinks
Yeah, I expected a second season but it just never came. What a letdown. I liked the smug girl
