Y’all be talking queer baiting at subtext meanwhile I’m here suffering femdom baiting or shows with women are respected baiting. This is why I struggle with modern anime and live action shows and have trust issues I get promised gender inversions and basic decency flavors then get slapped. This is why I should always stick to my shoujo manga instead

superheroladies:

I’m starting Darling in the Franxx and I admit the only reason I picked it up aside from the pretty and polished style is cuz I have heard/saw clips of some gender inverted tropes between the two main characters. Lots of femdom art too. Good stuff. The first episode has an old man groping a young lady which is, fine whatever normal anime stuff and I expect lots of fan-service cuz modern anime and especially mecha anime, but can anyone that watched confirm gender inversions in the main duo? I want to know if it’s gonna be worth it. It doesn’t need to be feminist, just refreshing and has women as characters

Saw spoilers of what happens later on and themes and it all ends up with sub fem and male dom and i’m just 

darling in the franxx is worth your time I can assure you of that. the relationship between the male and female lead is one of the most compelling parts of the show and the best romance I’ve seen in a while. especially good if you’re looking for gender inversions yes.

THANKS! That’s really reassuring and now I’m more interested than I was before! I know it’s hated among dudebro mecha fans and that also got me interested cuz when dudebros hate it I know I’m more than likely going to enjoy it haha. The gender inversions are what I’m about so again thank you so so much! ❤

edit: been told that changes halfway through the story :(((( would be interested in hearing your thoughts about it but now i’m :(((( about what I’m seeing
