No.
Regardless of who you make the protagonist, it will be someone's fetish somewhere.

>>85521163

Even a female equivalent of beta piggu?

Long answer: Google Paraphilia.
Short answer: Nope

>>85521199
That's not even hard mode.

You can try, if you're willing to not make any money.

Just follow these steps:

1. Design an unattractive character.

And you're done. Wow, that was difficult.

Why does this thread even exist?

Air Master
Madoka

>>85521312
Because someone, somewhere will still find that character attractive, you fucking imbicile.

>>85521371
Nobody finds Madoka attractive.

>>85521371
That isn't what we're talking about. But nice try, imbecile.

I don't think so, no, not if you expect any returns. People are shallow, and the anime crowd even more so.

>>85521333
>Air Master

She got me into fit/muscle girls.

>>85521401

The number of porm mango featuring madoka would beg to differ.

>>85521431
That's just Homura samefagging.

>>85521401

Speak for yourself, Madoka a goddess. literally.

>>85521429
I dropped it because of annoying midget.

>>85521416
Really now? Then what is it that we're talking about here?

>>85521371

Of course, but you can ensure the vast majority of the target audience won't find her attractive.

Why would you want to make an unattractive female lead?

>>85521498
But then that audience is going to stop being your target audience.

when do we get Mardock Scrambles 3, i fucking loved the second one and am so pumped for the third.

>>85521534

To make a statement about objectification. Though it would be more profitable to make an attractive female MC who isn't a vapid cockpuppet.

>>85521543
/thread

Sword Art Online.

Asuna has got to be the least attractive main female in an anime for at least two decades.

>>85521534
Because apparently an attractive female lead makes the rest of your story less credible.

>>85521498
You'd be surprised how sometimes people get a raging boner for even the most fucked up things.

Unnatractive male protagonists are rare too. Stories like Toradora and Kuragehime that are supposed to have unnattractive protagonists don't really.

There's supposed to be a motenai anime soon though, right?

>>85521460
>Madoka a goddess.
So you're forced to "like" her by your religion?
I feel for you.
>>85521514
Look up what implying means.

>>85521543
But she is moe.

>Is it possible to make a show in which the female protagonist isn't attractive?
>Is it possible to produce a work of fiction in any medium in which the female protagonist isn't attractive?

>>85521493
You're talking about the idea that attractiveness is so subjective that anyone will be found attractive by at least one person in the world. Which has nothing to do with what OP is talking about.

Third movie's been out for awhile I think, but last I checked there was only one group that had it uploaded. I started the movies with the English dub so I still have to wait another 4 years for that.

>>85521596
she might have been ugly but I couldn't help but to love her. Also afro-kun

>>85521545

I think the point is this is pissing people off/pushing people away.

>>85521596
ToraDora has a "delinquent" protagonist. Not an unattractive one.

But Tsukimi had that typical ugly betty transformation

>>85521114 (OP)

I think he's ignroing the fact that there's very little authentic sci-fi being produced anywhere right now.

It's not that the well ran dry, it's more that we already used all the best ideas.

>>85521534
I want anime about ugly people problems.

>>85521596
Oh look, it's Hollywood "ugly"

>>85521596

Attractiveness of the male matters less. He just needs to be passable.

Anime is a pandering escapist medium.

It will never rival the west in terms of realism.

>>85521625
No, it does. Because OP didn't specify the fact that it has to the protag has to be attractive/unattractive to a large audience. And even then, how can you specify what is attractive and unattractive if everyone has different tastes? It's impossible to say what is attractive and what isn't. One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Nice comeback. It's really filled with objective construction there. Stop being so retarded.

>>85521723
>how can you specify what is attractive and unattractive if everyone has different tastes

By taking into account what people generally find attractive and unattractive.

>>85521680
I think he's ignoring the fact that Japan has always been the "culture of cute" since the 70s. Is it infantile? Yes, but it's also one of the most defining aspects of Japanese culture. Doraemon has always, ALWAYS been popular for a reason.

>>85521698

Ugly moe here we come!

>>85521680

>It's not that the well ran dry, it's more that we already used all the best ideas.
>redundant statement

Either way, that's a load of crap unless you heavily qualify what you mean by "best ideas". There are so many fantastic science fiction ideas waiting to be animated/put to film; the obstacles are money and the market, not quality of material.

No, I just have my own opinion. Why am I supposed to lie to others about what I like or dislike? If I like something, I will say it. If I dislike something, I will still say it. What's so bad about stating your own opinion?
