Okay...

Uh, Idk if there is one. From what I observed in those circles, it seems like this stuff makes it into novels, VNs, stuff because the readerbase wants it there. Most often the books are written by women for women, and in these the perspective I would figure is usually following the female protagonist, the focus is on her, whereas if shit's genuinely misogynistically like "heheheh kidnapping women is cool" the woman will also often be reduced to an object by like, narration, perspective. There is quite probably a line where "safe fantasy" ends and it becomes troublesome, fwiw. Yoi'd have to dig in to examine that more thoroughly, and uh cishets lmao.

there doesn't seem to be a diversity of stories being told, and so the depictions become very narrow. I would prefer that the construction of femininity be wider in this genre

Sounds like typical anime problems to me bocchi-cry which sucks but "anime" as a category is so hopelessly caught up on its tropes, make a drinking game out of every time a "slice of life" anime has a 16 year old highschool girl as a protagonist, it's lame. It would probably pay to look at VNs outside of the Otome Game category for that, although it also could be female players flock to these things simply because all other VNs are malecentric dating sims lol.

Also I do think all male power fantasies are bad sicko-fem show me a transmasc t4t power fantasy and maybe I'll reconsider!!

It's why I stopped watching, tbh

If you'll excuse me now, I'm gonna go play Nier and see if this anime boy can save his sweet sick little sister...

Also I do think all male power fantasies are bad

I think that a lot of male power fantasies have to do with the urge to protect rather than the urge to conquer. Most people who game choose the "good" option overwhelmingly when provided with a choice. I think it shows that most people want to help.

The gross part is, under our current society, the urge to protect manifests through protecting (our pure virgin women) against (barbaric hordes) who want to destroy (our pure and right way of life). Which is, uh, bad.

I'd like to see more diversity there. Masculinity as caring for others. Not dad with child fiction that's oh so popular. But I also think the protect power fantasy has the potential to be set right in a better world.

Nier no, why did they not release Gestalt and Replicant as a pair again asagiri

Hmmmmmmmmmmm lea-think Yeah that's analysis I can agree with. Male peower fantasy doesn't need to be bad but it's deeply prone to and maybe even born of reactionary sentiment. Therefore I am dismissing it all as Utterly Disgusting sicko-fem We need socialism for it to be good!
