Because the subservience of women is deeply ingrained into their collectivist, honor-based culture.

Who said they do?

Because they are a society of entitled manchildren. Like /a/

Because women are fucking non-factor and noone gives a shit about them, they are only there for the tits and asses

When was the last time we saw a emotionally mature character?

Guardian of the Spirits for me.

I don't know if they dislike them, but damn are they rare in the real world.

... much like they are in any form of medium.

They have more characters like this than western comics and cartoons. I don't know what are you talking about. They are usually pretty popular too (Nausicaa or Homura for example).

Sasako from Shirokuma Cafe?

Superheroes are the embodiment of being strong and mature. The gender ratio is still quite inconsistent.

They do if they're cute.

>>65467808
*do like them

Because they're always just gender swapped males.

>Someone else watched that magnificent anime.

>>65467834

I kinda miss the shading they used in the 80's and early 90's...

Because anime is for kids. Most females and males from anime is rather dumb or immature.

>Why do the japanese dislike strong, emotionally mature characters?
Fixed. Japan can't into escapism.

>emotionally mature females

It's not that they dislike them, they are just very observant people who have, unlike you, already realize that such beings do not exist.

Just wastch Mouretsu Pirates. Strong, liberated girls vs dumb and ugly men. They even have canon lesbians.

>>65467702
Pretty much yeah.
A good deal of the people bitching about the representation of women in media don't even fucking enjoy said media, they just bitch for bitching's sake.
The rest are fetishists, and the bottom line there is that moefaggotry easily outranks man with tits faggotry in moonland.
In the end its all about sales.

>Japan can't into escapism.
Being immature is escapism. If anime portrayed normal life as it was really like in Japan, holy shit nobody here would watch it.

>>65467998

>mature characters=normal life in Japan

alright

"Maturity" is measured by your willingness to assimilate, take responsibility, and respecting your place in society, which for 90% of people is going to be taking the shit for someone else.

Real life is not like K-On. It's not like Yuru Yuri. Normal Japanese people don't get to be chuunibyou mad scientists or get magic powers to seduce girls based on their skill at eroge. These characters get free reign to only care about themselves and their friends and having fun and getting into wacky adventures. Yes, that is escapism.

>strong liberated women
>moemoe fap fodder for men
>isn't even allowed to have free sex with men because of the patriarchy that says women should be virgin pure and untouched by men to be liked

What about mature characters in sci-fi stories? What about mature characters in fantasy stories? What about mature characters in horror stories?
What about mature characters in superhero stories?

>>65468239
I'm not exactly sure what your point is. Are you trying to claim that the immaturity displayed by characters in shows like K-On! is not out and out escapism?
