Oh, the portrayal is not offensive by any means and I want to clarify I didn’t mean to imply that! It just leaves something to be desired; that’s what I meant. It’s pretty on par for most media standards I think? Mineta as comic relief, and the fact that all the pro hero females have the exact same body type (thick thighs, big prominently drawn boobs) is… mrrrrr for me as a woman who therefore kind of likes to see females portrayed complexly. While many shonens have done way worse, you’re absolutely right, many other shonens have done much better, as well. SnK and HxH both have fantastic female casts, for example, even though proportional to the men HxH is lacking. Just, compared to the male characters the female ones don’t have the same complexity, and Uraraka’s defining trait currently is future love interest, despite having the set up for a complex arc with her motives to be a hero. I do think she’ll get a good arc like Iida did (and Uraraka is one of my favorites regardless because of that delicious potential), but it’s not really what she could have in comparison to, say, female love interests who have their own long-running arcs like Mikasa Ackerman, Touka Kirishima, Komugi, Lizzie Midford, etc. I have very much enjoyed Jirou and Momo’s mini arcs, though, and think that the fanservice is probably a victim of editorial issues. The female characters aren’t bad and it doesn’t ruin my enjoyment of the series in any way, but they’re just not a strong selling point of the series.
