Why is the shy nervous male and dominant female so common in anime?

Because weebs are mostly incel failed males which is why they are into proto-cuckold shit like femdom they literally cannot imagine themselves approaching (like a normal, non terminally low T man)

This is a fucking stupid question and you already know the answer. Kill yourself.

>so common in anime?
How many animes have you watched so far?

>>211952517
They are just like me

>>211952488 (OP)
easy to self insert for otakus

>>211952488 (OP)
because it's hot duh

>>211954981
Kys.

>>211954312
Its hot to break dominant women into submissive ones.

>>211952517
fpbp

>>211955210
I see.

evangelion influence

basically eva is the father of midnight anime
there weren't many midnight anime aiming at modern type of otakus before eva

>>211955263
>evangelion influence

>>211955325
what do you mean? i didn't say eva did it for the first time, you know

but the eva boom is what changed the industry a lot

>>211952488 (OP)
Self inserts and fanservice for weebs

>>211955439
It answers itself.

>>211952488 (OP)
Asian men are all shy weak faggots and they need dominant white women.

it's kinda like many of shounen slop are under the influence of dragon ball
it's not that deep

Why are otaku such autistic and incomprehensive?
Japanese animation culture is declining year by year. To be realistic, the younger generation rarely watches anime. These scripts where the weak man is favored by the strong woman without any context are anime for unmarried men in their 30s and 40s.

There is no one else like Shinji who is such an extreme example.
Although the degree varies, the combinations mentioned by op are the same in mainstream anime before Evangelion, such as Urusei Yatsura, Ranma, and Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water.

>>211952517
this was /thread

>>211952488 (OP)
I think most weebs have never had the courage to ask a girl out, thus their fantasies involve being pursued instead

>>211955984
But girls can confess to them

>>211955845
>Urusei Yatsura, Ranma
Where is "the shy nervous male and dominant female" couple in these anime?

>Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water
You literally reinforced his opinion. And Nadia itself didn't influenced other anime except Evangelion, which was made by the same staffs of Nadia

>>211955984
Yeah, most of them, true. But for Darling In The Franxx weeaboos, not true

>>211955512
So basically Fate, Evangelion and other franchises in a nutshell?

>>211956002
That happens only to a minuscule minority of men

>>211956006
The protagonist being passive and the heroine being active has been the norm in anime since before Evangelion

>>211956162
大丈夫?OPの英語が理解できてないみたいだから日本語で話そうか?

>>211952488 (OP)
Because Japanese men lean towards that personality type and this kind of anime you posted is targeted towards the male population

>>211956326
If Shinji is the standard for being shy and nervous, then who else could be a shy and nervous protagonist besides Shinji?
If you take what op says literally, that kind of thing is not common in anime
