Princess Connect! Re:Dive Episode 1 Discussion

1. yes girls are allowed to join the army but people die because of that because what is most important in the army is physical strength and endurance. An average healthy guy is two times as strong and can endure two times as much hardships than the strongest woman. A soldier needs to be at least 4 times stronger. Let's not talk about getting pregnant or having to pee in the grass which are army life realities.
2. thieves may not be manly by some standards but I did not see a lot of effeminate thieves. They generally die during their first theft if they are. Being effeminate does not make one prone to taking risks.
3. gay as derogatory term. Maybe I should have used effeminate but anything is offensive to people like you. Yes I know that being gay is a serious disease but that was not the point.
4. Yes it is derogatory and should be. People that have no health problems and act like people with mental disabilities should be insulted for the simple reason their laziness or bad habits (drugs/alcohol) generally prevent them from enhancing their ability to enhance their intellect.
5. you miss the point entirely. But it probably shows you have low testosterone. Some foods increase your testosterone some decrease it . Also interesting enough you normally crave for foods that increase it because it is good for your health. Chocolate tends to decrease it a lot. More than that sugar excesses tend to ravage your body even more so if you are a man. Eating crepes and at night might send you up for to a diabetic future

We do agree on one thing:
My lack of testosterone is probably the reason why I am unable to take you seriously.

What we don't agree on is whether that's a good or a bad thing. I hope you have a good day

As someone who knows the source, if he already thinks it's "gay" I don't think this anime is going to change his mind. Look up his profile. Princess Connect is basically Kryptonite to him.

There are a lot of problems with the story: 1. too many female warriors. Unless you have a different system to procreate like in one anime were they are born from a tree, you cannot have so many women having life threatening occupations or occupations that might cause them to miss the fertility window. That is why modern world is dying.
2.the two thieves act really unmanly
3.what man eats crepes?
4. even if one loses his memories he will not revert to the age of a toddler

Also while I am honored for you looking at my profile I am curious what from it made you say this type of anime is my kryptonite. I have a varied list of anime including seinen shojo shounnen and others. There are two things I hate in anime: extremely unrealistic settings and anime that try to feed you propaganda.

Why not enjoy anime just to enjoy it. Instead of criticizing it to hell. Also. Yes a man can eat crepes. 2. Who cares if the thrives act unmanly it's a anime. 3. Who cares if the anime mostly have girls clearly you haven't played the game. You say you hate anime that tries to feed you propaganda and look at what you're doing. There's no universal rule saying men can't eat crepes.

1. yes a man can eat crepes... most men do not. extremely sweet foods are generally preferred by children and women. Masculine men generally do not eat crepes because on a subconstient level they prefer foods that increase their testosterone level while sugar excess and chocolate tends to decrease it.
2. because I want some realism from an anime. The setting may be fantasy but some laws should still apply to that universe. Also this seems like propaganda and that is why it bothers me.
3. So basically the anime is addressed just to hard core fans of the game? got it

I could spoil why it lacks realism but I won't. Also yes. I would say this is more geared to people who played the game but people who haven't have been enjoying it also. And there's no proerganda in this. Show some reasonable facts if it is.

Your point involving women warriors is not relevant. Explaining why it is wrong though would be bordering on spoiler territory so I won't bother.
No idea what you are going on about with crepes either. There are numerous scientific studies explaining why people like sweet foods. Calories are far more important in living than testosterone is. We need energy to do everything, from hunting to simply living. Sweet foods are high in calories. It's why we like sweet foods.
The ready availability of high calorie foods is only a recent thing in human history. Sugar excess isn't something we've ever had to worry about as a species until recently, and chocolate to begin with hasn't even been consumed at all for most of human history, so I don't see how we could have evolved to avoid these foods. You're just saying nonsense.

overly feminine men and overly masculine women. This is my proof.

1. How is wrong? If women are the ones making babies they cannot be warriors and if they are not then what is the point of women even existing since the differences between men and women are mostly due to women having the children?
2. children consume a lot of sweets because as part of their development they need a lot of calories. Women consume a lot of sweets because they need to accumulate them for pregnancy. Men and sweets do not mix so well.
3. Meat gives you more energy. And testosterone is a performance booster. Maybe you have heard of steroids but what you did not know is that steroids are synthetic testosterone.
4. I never said we evolved, evolution is a myth. What I said is that certain chemicals like testosterone and estrogen influence out brains and out bodies. Chocolate increases the production of estrogen that is why women love chocolate so much.

if you want realism then maybe anime isn't for you. To some anime is a escape from reality. Also why so much sexism? So basically the women should stay home and cook and clean? That's a dumb idea. Nice to see you think women as objects. And who says men and sweets don't mix well? Did you know everyone has a preference? That's a childish way of thinking.

nightcrawlercyp said:

1. The part with escape from reality makes me remember this quote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qs3GlNZMhY
2. I never said women are objects. But women are optimized for making and raising toddlers. If you want a group of people to survive at least 75% of women should not go to college or have full time jobs. If this does not happen the birthrate shits the bed and your community gets older and eventually dies out. We see this in many places all over the world including Japan.
3.women are 3-4 times physically weaker than a man have less resilience to stress injury less ability to focus and the max potential of intelligence is much lower. The average intelligence difference between a man and a woman (adults) is 5 IQ points . If you do a median instead of an average you get 15 IQ points. As a comparison the difference between a retard and a genius is just 50 IQ points. More than 90% of women are hired in jobs they cannot do consistently well. Yes there are exceptions, but most women should get married have children and take care of them. And since taking care of children and the house has become much easier they will have time to do other stuff as well including a business if they actually want to.
4. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/325186#boost-testosterone-naturally
chocolate contains estrogen -like substances just like soy and beer. so no, is not good for men. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/your-brain-food/201011/chocolate-the-good-the-bad-and-the-angry#:~:text=Chocolate%20contains%20some%20estrogen%2Dlike,their%20own%20estrogen%20until%20menopause).
5. testosterone is a performance booster. I do not know anyone that wants to be weaker more tired, less intelligent,etc.
