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.

    Nah boi- just nah November 14, 2025 10:35 pm

    I agree! Shounen MCs before were full of emotion (naruto, luffy, natsu)
    Now being cold and emo is how MCs are
    BUT i am guilty of liking characters who are cold (sasuke, zoro, gray, )
    Ichigo and Gon are an exception though.
    I dont hate the MC personality change, it has become more popular to be nonchalant

    cause they aspire to be the dude that can kill all their foes in 3secs flat. the character being flat dont matter to them if mc making flashy moves and got fire fight scenes then they all set.

    i suppose its easier to project on a blank slate? but hey what do i know i prefer complex characters and have more than one braincell so i probably wont get it

    Idk what communities you’re in but I’ve never seen anyone like that, not to say they don’t exist. The demon slayer and MHA fan base is a lot bigger than SL. So wouldn’t say this is a large shounen fan problem, more of a small group of people with particular tastes.

    Nonchalant is fine but no personality other than that is boring.

    I just realized it's just a self insert fantasy thank you for sharing your thoughts. I agree with complex characters (if the characters are not complex, I hope the plot is)

    The fan base of SL is getting bigger. Not that I'm saying it beats KNY and MHY but it's there and it recently won the anime of the year

    man idk about the comparision cale here SL mc literally died as a sacrifice got a rlly fucked up life let him heal till he finds joy, MHA the anime and fandom centered around literal teenagers and underlying msg of youth as team? Tanjiro also had a shit life but bruv gotta stay positive so he dun gotta fall apart fan bases dont matter but for real though


    i think main trope is the harem kind over killing mcs persona, or the dungeon style where over time they trade emotion, and innocence for power to protect themselves and others

    This disgusting ahh manga. What a waste of good artstyle. At first the height gap threw me off but i was like oh well wtv. Then the seme raped uke everyday FOR WEEKS and left him on the cold floor naked while the uke was drugged and had a full on boner. And then later there's a scene where the uke has sex with the seme while seme is in his full animal form. Which means the seme is a wolf like an ACTUAL wolf. Like why tf are u fucking a dog??? I dropped the manga after that I don't even wanna know the rest

    Convinient store something. Idk the exact title I always forget it. The ahjuicy gangster × store clerk one. I would say majority like it and have positive experience with it. But I thought it was boring. No hate tho, just didn't feel the chemistry and I kept getting distracted. First time I read it left and forgot to go back to read. Second time I read it I gave up altogether. Nothings wrong with it I think, just wasnt for me.
