Now compare those to Dashr U, which features a group of girls into niche or "weird" hobbies stuff that, in the 2010s, would’ve definitely set them apart. But the thing is, there's no real struggle. These girls aren’t portrayed as being socially ostracized. Nobody mocks them or pushes them away for being into odd stuff. They get friends and even love interests pretty much instantly. There’s no sense that their obsession with niche interests has any social cost.And that’s where the disconnect lies. In male-centered geek comics, there’s often a real narrative consequence to being overly invested in your niche. It isolates you, makes you miserable, and turns you into your own worst enemy. But in Dashr U, the girls just... exist. They’re quirky and nerdy, sure, but it never matters. There's no tension, no real conflict, and certainly no implication that they might be "femcels" female characters whose niche interests and social awkwardness actually prevent them from forming meaningful relationships.For a story like that to resonate the same way as Eltingville or Anime Club, there needs to be a reason why these girls are part of a weird niche group that others don’t want to be around. There needs to be self-absorption, alienation, a sense that their interests are both a shield and a prison otherwise, it just feels like a sanitized version of the nerd experience.
Tldr- for femcel stories to work and get the same nerd male self absorbed story they need antagonist. In this case, normie females mocking/bullying them for their weird interest. Having males introduced will make them not be true femcel just quirky girls with no struggles.
