O i want to say I 100% agree w you on araki not writing good female characters, I'm not trying to pull a Gatcha! Here. I was just thinking about that post and I realized the only female character we have that doesn't exist only to fall in love w a man or be sexual w a man is Enya. But I feel like there's something to be said if the only female character who isn't like that is the one that can't be sexualized.
oh you’re so right tbh. actually while i was making the post i did think of a couple other examples like the stone ocean girls, and then to a minor extent characters like uh, Lisa Lisa or yasuho or maybe a couple other jojolion girls (although there’s some questionableness wrt all of those characters’ dependence on men too)
But you’re right because it also shows arakis hesitance to make female characters that aren’t conventionally attractive and young because it’s so hard to be a weirdo about them. maybe that’s why i really enjoy enya because she’s an example of a kind of character that i desperately want more of :(
