Why do Male to Female genderswap characters make better charcters than regular female charcters?

[Anonymous No.]

Because we all wish to be the little girl.

[Anonymous No.]

That only works if you're super homosexual.

Because you invent them and their personalities completely in your head to adhere to your favorite fetishes, much for the same reasons people like touhou.

Because you're a guy and you don't want to sex another guy, I guess? Also women can pretty much act and dress like men, that's no problem in our society. Genderswapping females is like a promotion. Genderswapping males takes them down to female level, strips them of their male pride and makes them sex objects. I'm sure you can see why that's exciting. It has to do with dominance / submission.

Because everyone is secretly gay

[Ayashiro !Hime2512LA No.]

They don't.
This is called sample bias: Kyonko is so moe she makes you think all genderswaps are incredibly moe.

[Anonymous No.]

They don't. Usually they don't even have an established personality. If they do it's just some shitty fanon shit.

They're only good for fapping, they're in no way better as actual characters.

Because females are cuter than males

The thing about genderbending the Haruhi cast is that half the point was to make them better characters in the process.

It doesn't always work that way.

It's like a trap but without the penis, so it's got the same appeal with the gay. Or something.

[Anonymous No.]

You can make up their personalities.

For example, Kyonko is a little tsun and gets embarassed easily. Itsuki is a raging lesbian for Kyonko that likes to go Ara~ a lot.

>Itsuki is a raging lesbian for Kyonko that likes to go Ara~ a lot.

His mannerisms.

[Anonymous No.]

I like dickgirls and traps, but somehow I can't bring myself to like a genderswapped male. It's just a turn off to know that the character is really a non-feminine uncute male.

[Anonymous No.]

I tend to look at trans-gender stuff like this: What would the relationship be like if the guy turned into a girl? I am a yuri fan so i am a huge sucker for a good girlxgirl romance.

He doesn't really do anything particularly gay but it's obvious that his character is a parody of a typical gay character archetype in anime.

[Anonymous No.]

You can get more interesting, less traditional relationships that way. Also, japan is chained so hard to useless main protagonists.

I like all in the genderswap of haruhi with the exception of Haruhiko.

[Anonymous No.]

I never understood why Mikuru was so unpopular in the original novels.

No no, Kyon and Kyonko are darudere.

"Darudere: a bitter, sarcastic, cynical, biting little bundle of emotion, but doesn’t actually contribute actively to remedy a situation, plus inwardly actually LIKES the same situations they comment and criticize. Comes from the root word ‘darui’ plus ‘dere-dere’."

And here I thought that was an aspect of tsundere.

They're similar, but there is a difference.

Ah, so >>5515920 isn't quite an accurate description of darudere.

"Lazy/apathetic romance", huh?
