What do you think of only Female Party member trope in the Story?

[Deleted member 166076]

This seems like a weird thing to worry about. Why should it be considered normal to have an all male party but not an all female party? Women naturally hang out with other women IRL so why not in a fantasy world?

I used to worry about this a lot.

I've grown wiser and more mature since then. Just don't care.

If the comments mention the lack of men, simply make a confused emoji, and ask, "What is a male? "

That's a different kind of political correctness.

I think it's already a fantasy, so why worry about it?

Who ever heard of a group of women working together toward a common goal without sabotaging each other at every turn? Purest fantasy, I tell you.

Nah, I have been the ignored dude in several groups of women (never figured out how that happened - but it has, many times) and either they spend most of the time talking about guys (in ways guys would get in trouble for saying about ... well, anyone really, but especially women) while completing whatever they set out to do in the process, OR they spend the time talking in very nasty ways about a woman who was supposed to be there but bailed (and still finish the task at hand as well).

There are many old shounen anime with 2 boy and 1 girl, and with how close they're from being childhood firends, i think their dynamic wouldnt change that much if there are two girls and one boy instead.

Not to mention that shounen boys and girls are veing voiced by female VA. Sometimes i play silly game where i imagine that all three of them were just female, but two of them were boyish and have shorter hair.

And therefore, in my opinion, you can just act like how the girls just act like the sole male were just female with short hair and boyish acts.

You can also think of the male as the male friend in the group. Of course there are some private girls things that wouldn't be spoken in front of him, but otherwise he's just there.

I was nervous about implementing this trope in a single important arc of my Novel where it doesn't contain any male characters in the span of the Labyrinth Chapters. My mind was telling me that my story was leading in a Gender political view. Still, the original reason why I only have Female characters was because my Protagonist is a female with trust issues and she invited her female friends on a Quest on behalf of his brother. but I can't find any Idea to add any male members in the party due to the males recovering from their injuries or being Occupied in an established chapter before the Labyrinth chapters.

what do you think?

I think the only main issue with an all female fantasy cast is most people are used to seeing and liking a mixed cast or all male party due to how so many female groups feel like they fail at being an adventure party. A lot of the time it's due to the fact writers attempting thes groups will make a female hero or rogue as the group's leader while pushing their attitude towards antisocial and extremely combative without any means to reign her in. Or just go full on Mary Sue.

Nobody wants a bad ass girl or a Sue as a leader if there's no way to sit her down and have a civil conversation, like if they need to talk to a high mage about a macguffin, don't just ask for it! No, just beat them up and take it. Also, while leaving maybe blow their abode up so there's no evidence left this party did anything bad.

Woah, it seems like I've found something incredible here!

Wait, yuri harem...?

N-No god, please, not the 'only female' story. There's a potential of them getting NTR'd, nooooooooooooooooooo!

It's fine. If I think about it, my stories tend to be this way subconsciously. Not many male characters surround my MCs. No one has commented about it, and I barely noticed it.

Perhaps you were joking, but in my experience, it is the truth.. I've worked more than a dozen jobs. I'm something of a jack-of-all trades. Women DO NOT work well together. They will screw each other over for even the slightest opportunity to get ahead. I have NOT observed the same with men overall.

You remember that old saying that men don't understand women?

Men don't need to understand women. Women understand women, and they hate each other more often than not.

As long as their menstrual cycles sync up, and they sit around eating chocolate together, that sounds pretty awesome.

one of the best hentai right now is of a team called Battle Maiden with the 6 strongest women there are, and they're the best guild (currently 5 out of 6 of them have been sexed) so you're on a safe road don't worry people'll eat it up

Everyone knows there's no male in the internet. Any and all who claims to be a male is either trolling you, or are the result of your hallucination.

Everyone is female troll, unless there's a Pic proving theyre a male

Basically the rule of anime, manga, and fantasy world in general.

The hero's journey: He keeps getting knocked down, but keeps getting back up and slowly claws his way through hell to eventually win by the skin of his teeth and with not a small amount of luck.

The HER-o's journey: She was always awesome, she just lacked the self-esteem to know how awesome she was. As soon as she figures that out, she effortlessly defeats everything.

I'm certain there is a demographic that it'll appeal too, but after watching some witch killing slimes for 300 years, I realize I probably won't be that demographic.

Women's cycles tend to sync up... imagine traveling with 3 or more pms women. No thanks

I can see why people like the female only party trope, but it's still fucking stupid and the guys who are into it should be punished severely.

How is it stupid if its realistic? Women have created lots of spaces where they exclude men throughout history. Every time people talk about female only groups I'm reminded of the Night Witches of the Russian 588th Night Bomber Regiment (WW2)
