Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is making waves with its surge in popularity and success, but its impact in anime expands well beyond that. Women and girls in shounen have been written notoriously bad for so long, so for Frieren to come in and smash all other competition (shounen and non-shounen) is pretty notable. Will we learn anything from Frieren's success? Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that well-written, multifaceted female protagonists in shounen are extremely profitable! Let me know your thoughts about Frieren and women in shounen in the comments.

As much as I like Frieren, I always hate those "haha x is better than y so I'll take any opportunity I can get to shit on y" type stuff. You can just like Frieren without feeling the need to take a jab at other female characters.
