Genuinely curious
Why does shounen fans like their MCs to be edgy and emotionless these days? Like Solo Levelling has a bland MC af with personality of a cardboard. Some of the fans also hated when the MC cried for his mother (that's one of the very few times when he showed emotions by the way) They trash on Deku and Tanjiro, not that he's a masterpiece but why crying is seen as weakness?
Personality is a seasoning to a character. Even worse, when the side characters are just there for the MC. They don't have distinct characeristics so the whole dish tastes bad on my mouth.
