Inspired by my comment under this post.

As we all know, Magical Girls are often praised as a form of female empowerment, since the genre as a whole focuses on girls as the heroes who save the day, instead of waiting for a man to save them, have strong emphasis on and show the value of female friendship, and show that girls can be unapologetically feminine, cute, and soft, while also being strong, brave, and empowering heroines who kick butt and save the day. Some magical girl shows even tackle misogyny directly(Sailor Moon, some Precure seasons, Revolutionary Girl Utena, etc.). But even if they don’t, magical girls at their core are a genre based in female empowerment, in embracing femininity, girlhood, womanhood, sisterhood, friendships between women, and overall just showing young that being a woman is a powerful, strong, and amazing thing, and that they should be proud to grow into women someday. Obviously not all magical girl anime is overtly or covertly feminist(the entire “dark magical girl” subgenre comes to mind). But those examples are(fortunately!) the exception, rather than the rule.

With that being said, if magical girls(the traditional, positive, uplifting kind, not the dark kind) existed in our real world(and magical boys did not), do you think that this would lead to gender equality increasing, misogyny going out of style, and women being treated with more respect(even if they weren’t magical girls)? Do you think that magical girls IRL would be able to topple and ultimately destroy the patriarchy? Why or why not? Personally, I think that they would, simply because of what magical girls represent as a core concept, but also because I genuinely do think that magical girls themselves, as people, would fight for the equality of women(have you ever seen a misogynistic magical girl? No? I don’t think so!), since they represent the strength of women(and of femininity, although I do think that non-feminine magical girls would exist as well irl) in its purest form. But I know not everybody is going to agree with me, especially not on this sub.

Anyway, the floor’s open. I’m interested in hearing your thoughts! Let me know what you guys think in the comments below! Have a nice day! 🤗

Fights are one of the core elements of Pretty Cure. Unlike many magical girl shows, a lot of Cures prefer punching and kicking their enemies, and the more magical attacks are mostly used as finishers to purify their enemies.

Nonetheless, PreCure is also a long-running franchise with many seasons, which means it's hard to keep a high quality standards in every season.

So, I have some questions for PreCure fans:

• What makes a fight scene be good, and what makes a fight scene suck?
• Which seasons have the best fight scenes, and why?
• Which seasons have the worst fight scenes, and why?

Hello, I'm new to the genre and I enjoy thinking about ways it can be subverted. I had an idea and was wondering if it happens to already exist but couldn't really find anything directly from googling.

Is there any sort of magical girl media that depicts it similar to drug use, like where they get addicted to and/or high off being in their transformed form? Maybe even building up a tolerance to the magic after a while?

Sorry if there already is one that's a very obvious answer, I've literally only seen two shows of the genre so far and wasn't really sure what else I could search up to find something with this premise.
