How many series have a pair of sisters as the main protagonists, rather than a pair of brothers?'Īdmittedly, that would have been interesting.but for me personally, I think I'd still like FMA better with brothers than sisters. 'She should have made the made the main protagonists a pair of sisters and Winry a boy and have the rarely seen story where 'Female(s) go(es) on adventures to reach a goal, while the male best friend/love interest, oblivious as to what is happening, waits at home. I'm also confused as to why you don't give her credit when she DOES travel and learn new things. The adventure's great and all, but there will always be ordinary lives lived by ordinary people behind the scenes, and Winry is part of that. That's the way I've always seen it, anyway. Ed's automail isn't the ONLY stuff she fixes. Keep in mind that she has a real, paying job and her own life to attend to, whether or not the boys are there, and it would be somewhat unwise of her to drop it just to go adventuring with them. I think it's unfair to say that all she does is sit around waiting for the Elrics to come back. However, let's think about Winry's life for a second. I'm not familiar with very many animes (bookworms FTW!), so I honestly don't know how overused it is in the genre. 'Due to this, we had the typical: 'Male(s) go/goes on adventures to reach a goal, while the female best friend/love interest, oblivious as to what is happening, waits at home' trope! I know Winry travelled with the Elrics every now and then and learned some things, but it is still, just annoying that Arakawa-sensei did this! It is such an over-used plot device!' I fail to see why that's so wrong or sexist. Just like girls usually find it easier to relate to female characters, boys usually find it easier to relate to male characters. While there may be exceptions, like you've mentioned before, male protagonists are the norm in this category. Arakawa's got talent.)Īlso, (though FMA's awesomeness transcends all genres in my opinion), technically it IS a shounen series - aka geared towards boys. Speaking from experience, it's not easy to accurately, realisticaly write from the POV of a character who's the opposite gender of you. That's what makes writing so much fun! (And personally, I admire Arakawa for being so good at getting inside a boy's head despite being female. She planned and wrote everything just the way she wanted. She can create it and control it however she wants and follow her imagination wherever it leads, without anyone else's opinions holding her back. She is the writer - aka the god of her story. Just because Arakwa is a woman doesn't mean she HAS to make all the main characters women or focus on her own gender. The first thing I just cannot understand about Arakawa-sensei is, being a woman, why did she make the main protagonists (Edward and Alphonse Elric) male and the main supporting character (Winry Rockbell) female.' 'I was surprised when I learnt that the author was in fact a woman.

WARNING: There are spoilers galore! If you have NOT finished reading the manga or watching Brotherhood, don't read unless you don't mind being spoiled!Īlright.I'm just going to skip the first few initial paragraphs of the rant and skip to where the real stuff starts.

Feel free to comment and share your thoughts! All I ask is that you keep it civil and not start any fanwars.

I'll post my rebuttals one part at a time. I thought it'd be interesting to share the rant rebuttals over here and see what you guys think about the issue. It forced me not to take FMA for granted and really look at the content, and helped me gain a greater appreciation for it and a better understanding of why I believe what I believe in. This is part 1 of my response to NaokoElric's rant about sexism in FMA, link While I admit my initial reaction to her rant was a bit knee-jerk ('WHAAAAAT OMG NO FMA IS NOT SEXIST WHAT PLANET IS SHE FROM HOLY ARAKAWA'), it proved to be a fun and interesting challenge once I gave it a chance.
