It’s like it never comes from a place of "let me rep female fighters" or

"let me have a well written character that just happens to be a woman".

No, it's always "omg she's a girllllll and she’s small and shyyyyy a-and she's dating one of the guysssss" it's like idk it feels weird. Like you make a female oc just for her to be infantilized compared to the men around her? Like “oh look at her be petite and only wear pink blah blah” or “oh she’s a stereotypical bad bitch that don’t take no disrespect” …..even tho she’s still written in a sexist way, cuz her only purpose is to be shipped with one of the guys.

Most are just made to be about the contrast “ow she’s ultra girly and tiny he’s a big buff MAN. Isn’t that different and ground breaking???” I guess 🙄. A lot of these Baki ocs are never written to be worth something within the narrative, just “girl” and that’s it. Who’s whole purpose of creation is “shipping”, aka getting fucked on by whatever Baki character.

It's like said oc is never a character but a....idk the word but hmmm….object. Not even a character but an object for the male characters to react to/ interact with.

Even tho realistically the Baki characters wouldn’t interact with them like that. They wouldn’t gaf. But people end up changing their characterization to pander to this weird misogynistic “big strong man little baby woman” fantasy.

It’s so weird to impose such a traditional and toxic depiction of masculinity when a lot of Baki focuses on deconstructing what’s traditionally masculine. It’s reductive because the characters aren’t written to fit this mold. And it just turns the characters into cookie cutter versions of each other. Like “My oc is Baki’s girlfriend and she’s small so he’s protective and possessive over her”, “My oc is Hanayama’s girlfriend and she’s small so he’s protective and possessive over her”, “My oc is Katsumi’s girlfriend and she’s small so he’s protective and possessive over her.” Like why are we ignoring their individuality just to turn them into the standard “man” archetype?

Most of the guys are shown to be relatively normal when it comes to women (except yujiro) so making a female ocs for the core reason of "owww she a girl and they're all men owwww what will happen"' is so ew. You make a female oc just be a piece of flesh for you to write the male characters lusting for. Having your female character be an incubator for whatever male character you pick.

How is that any different from how women are perceived under the patriarchy ?? Everyone get woke rn

oh my god, thank you. THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS. No, Baki wouldn't cheat on the love of his life with a woman he'd just met, purely because shes pretty. No, Kaoru would not hit on you and hire a random civilian woman as his sexy secretary. No, Katsumi would not bdsm punish you with bloodlust in his eyes.

Ignoring how a lot of relationships with Baki characters realistically would be draining, lacking of affection, and stressful as a regular civilian is insane.

Drew this last night. You can kinda see where I ran outta steam because the best thing here is the rendering on that bald ass baby
