why do main characters rarely have an actual personality nowadays
It feels like 80% of them are a blankslate designed for self inserting, their """""personality""""" boils down to: be nice, kick ass and get girls.

I'd love a harem/romance anime where the man actually acts like an assertive, fun-loving man instead of a cuck, pussy or a straight up "draw a girl, call it a boy" monstrocity. Just a man who doesn't act like an idiot and actually asserts himself over the girls, cracks jokes and acts like, well, a man. Will never happen.

The male character is not included in the sexual fantasy.
You are looking for shoujo.
You will ignore this post.

I think it's more so that the third worlder needs constant affirmation that his self-insert is manly lol

maybe the cabal is right to replace the white Western population if they've gotten this bad

But not a cuck, or a wimp.

Have you tried being nice to girls like every Kirito clone? The steps are so simple to land yourself one.

Well, yeah, but you're missing the looks and fitness factors. That's really all you need to attract women irl.

I am usually mean and teasing to the women I come across online in video games and it usually gets me regular gaming buddies and friendships but im too shy to be mean irl so I rarely get any irl women friends, im pretty sure being mean and playful is better than being a nice doormat

Like with everything in social interactions, it's a fine line. You definitely don't want to be a doormat but being a juvenile idiot is even worse. Ideally, you have a varied personality that responds to each situation at hand in an appropriate and timely fashion.

Being a juvenile idiot is really rewarding online, i guess im just too autistic to thread that fine line irl and its just better for me to play it safe

No, the problem is that turd worlders are including the male character in their sexual fantasy for some fucking ungodly reason that nobody can explain, and therefore he has to be a buff confident chad. It is pure and simple homoerotic desire, they should be watching shoujo.

I have, sometimes they'll even be nice back and you'll have a superficial friendship. it's the perfect strat for becoming impersonal acquaintances with girls.
