One-Punch Man – The Party-Pooper Post

(of the female and queer representation in OPM and why GenoSai fans should care)

So OPM has sprung upon tumblr and is gaining popularity rapidly. That’s great. But it seems everyone is ignoring one small thing – 

One-Punch Man is incredibly misogynistic and homophobic.

At first, when I watched the anime, I chose to ignore Mosquito-Girl; I’ve chosen to give the series the benefit of the doubt, and dubbed her character as an exaggerated representation of over-sexualized females in a parody-framework.

Then I got to read the manga (spoilers ahead.)

Avatar
The only female villain we’ve seen thus far is Mosquito-Girl (so females have the same representation in the villain-department as demonic-air-fans.)

I find it hard to believe you would be happier if opm had more female fodder types for Saitama to punch to death. More female villains means more selfish, meat-headed, and psychotic females that will have their guts punched out of them in full detail because that’s how 95% of the male villains are treated. I’m sure that would go over great with you.

Also, the leader of the entire Monsters Association is the other female villain.

The only two female characters in the series are the Esper Sisters – two flat female tropes that hate each other. The first is Tatsumaki, a floating-tsundere-loli that is marked as aged 28 to make her sexualization legit.
Out of the Top-Ten S-Class heroes, she’s the only female, and ranked 2nd place.

Tatsumaki is the highest ranked S class hero shown in the entire manga, including ONE’s webcomic. She’s only tsundere to her sister, but other than that she’s a total brat and it’s hilarious cause we get panels like this even in Murata’s redraw.

Image
The second female is Fubuki, ranked 1st  in the B-Class heroes (the 2nd and 3rd places are guys; the 1st ranked in the A-Class and the C-Class are guys, too.)

What does is matter if the heroes ranked just below Fubuki are male? They’re both seen once or twice and promptly stomped in a single panel. And why mention Sweet Mask? He’s a dick and, like Fubuki, stays at 1st rank in his class because he wants to. Same with Licensless Rider.

Fubuki also surrounds herself with lesser ranked male and female heroes, but only the male heroes are shown to be pathetic fighters (also Lily is adorable).

Before we go over Fubaki’s representation, let’s process that – out of four hero-classes, there are two females we know of, and around twenty guys we know by name (not including the main characters, that are both guys). That’s a rate of 1 to 10 (as opposed to that fact females make 50%~ of the human population.) Even if the 1st ranked S-Class would be a female (which I highly doubt), it wouldn’t mean much. All the kids presented in the story are male, as well.

And Fubuki and Tatsumaki have had more spotlight on them than most of the relevant male characters barring the two leads and maybe Bang and King. Having a ton of male characters doesn’t mean much if all they do is fail or speak for 2 panels every time we see them.

You’re right about the 1st rank S class gender not meaning much, since it will boil down to whether they’re a good character or not, and how they’re implemented in the story.

…The very first child in chapter 1 and episode 1 is female. She wears the “School Child” shirt. Are you even trying???

Hysteric women aren’t fit to be on top” indeed seems to reflect the creator’s personal views, as this interaction enfolds - when facing off against Saitama (and inventively losing) she cries;

“Hysteric women aren’t fit to be on top” is Saitama’s view and he’s right. She came to his house and threatened him with violence if he didn’t join her group. She then tells him “I’ll beat you half dead!” because he doesn’t want to fight her. Seriously, just read the panels you conveniently didn’t include before Saitama’s comment.

All this because he didn’t want to get involved in her ranking politics. What part of this sounds like she’s a calm and reasonable person? It looks a whole lot like straight up bullying by a hysterical woman.

And then Saitama blocks her from getting hit by a direct explosion she wasn’t aware of because she was too busy trying to STAB HIM.

The “Gold-diggers” - two-conventionally-attractive-females that hang around a blatantly unattractive “powerful man” so he’ll buy them stuff

This is exactly what representation actually is. You have shitty female characters and shitty male characters side by side. The women manipulated him into buying them stuff and he became creepy and tried to get a kiss on the cheek out of them, which didn’t come close to happening. Then they took phone pictures of the man after he got beat unconscious.

Random Moms going around with their kids (filling their natural child-bearing role in the world), or Sisters that cry because their brothers didn’t come to help them carry all those heavy shopping bags;

LMAO so now a random mom and Metal Bat’s sister are negative representations? Metal Bat even says he’d rather be there for his sister than protecting the father and son he was with. Was it also bad when his sister wanted him to come to her piano recital? Or when his female cat was giving birth and he couldn’t be there? I don’t know what random mom you’re talking about but here’s the conclusion to that lick lick screenshot you posted.

Image

It’s almost as if being perverted is seen as a negative in the opm universe, huh?

You’re right about the Pri-Pri-Prisoner thing. To add to that, at least ONE specifically pointed out that Pri-Pri-Prisoner’s reasoning is not correct in both manga renditions. If anyone is really offended by Prisoner, I’d honestly recommend they just not read further or skip his parts.

But then you swerved back into crazy town with the GenoSai thing.

It’s meant to make you wonder- why did they choose to feature this line? Other than being a cheap joke, why did it matter so to tell us, the readers, that Saitama is not interested in guys? It’s not as if it was a revolutionary dialogue, in which Saitama came out as Aro or Ace; no, it’s just a cheap NO HOMO.

No, not really. The line wasn’t emphasized or reacted to ever again. It’s literally an “I thought you meant a thing but you actually meant the other thing” joke. Even the panel structuring in both ONE and Murata’s version makes it a clear it’s a throwaway.

(And no, Sonic’s own over-sexualization doesn’t compensate for all the above.)

Well of course to you it doesn’t, that’s why you’re not pointing out Sonic’s sexualization and crotch abuse. Meanwhile the anime, manga, and fans flaunt his well articulated booty all over the place just like Fubuki. At least be consistent if you’re going to complain about sexualization.

As a female and GenoSai shipper, I couldn’t care less about most of what you say I should be offended by. It just sounds like you’re trying to guilt readers and watchers into viewing the show the way you do, the “morally superior” way. And in the same breath you’re telling them to think twice about buying merch for a series they likely are accessing for free.

Can I make a believer out of you, then, and tell you I’d really be happier to see more female villains, which would break the common-schematic of ‘Men fight Men, Women fight Women”?

Why do you think it’s better to have males punched to the death instead of females? 

I didn’t know about that other female. Okay, that makes it three.

Tatsumaki is the highest ranked S-Class shown up until now, before the 1st ranked hero would appear. Fubaki’s lieutenants matter, as well as Sweet Mask and Licenseless Rider, because they show how little we see female characters in positions of authority or power in the manga.

About the first child;

here’s all the kids presented in the story to have meaningful roles – one made Saitama become a hero, one is an S-Class hero himself. The girl just cries and is saved later by Saitama (The chin-kid doesn’t cry, when faced with the Lobster monster.)

‘ “Hysteric women aren’t fit to be on top” is Saitama’s view and he’s right. ‘

Well, I’ll have to disagree with you on that. Did Saitama call the Tank-Top brothers, or Snek, or Sonic, hysteric? 

(And please don’t send me to read stuff, it’s quite belittling.)

About the other female representation, I’ve addressed the issue here.

If you want to address Sonic’s sexualization, go ahead – I’d love to hear your opinion.

Most of people nowdays access anime or manga for free, on the internet; a considerable part of a series’ profits comes from merchandise and related products.

For something you “couldn’t care less” about, you’ve written quite a reply. It seems you got the wrong impression of my original intent; I don’t claim moral superiority at any point, on anyone. I offered my thoughts on different topics, in the hopes other people would consider them. 

That seems like an odd ending to this post, so. Here’s a lama.

I was pointing out way more males die in the manga than females. Half your post was about how the women in opm are being treated poorly compared to the men, but the men are beat up, humiliated, saved, and killed many, many times more. The only named female casualty in the whole series has been mosquito girl.

Tatsumaki is the highest ranked S-Class shown up until now, before the 1st ranked hero would appear. Fubaki’s lieutenants matter, as well as Sweet Mask and Licenseless Rider, because they show how little we see female characters in positions of authority or power in the manga. 

And that’s your opinion, not a fact. Just as my opinion is that I’m not looking for or expecting the author and artist to meet my standards for realistic portrayals of female authority and power, I just want to be entertained by the adventures of an emotionally stunted egg in a parody super hero world. If female representation mattered that much to me, I’d read a shojo or josei manga, not a seinen one like opm.

here’s all the kids presented in the story to have meaningful roles – one made Saitama become a hero, one is an S-Class hero himself. The girl just cries and is saved later by Saitama (The chin-kid doesn’t cry, when faced with the Lobster monster.)

It’s pretty clear that the chin kid was dumber than a sack of hammers given how he was more worried about his soccer ball than the danger he was clearly in. One of those little boys is honestly called “busaiku” which refers to his ugly face, and he gets punted around by some S class heroes. And Child Emperor has yet to have any impact on the story, even in ONE’s version.  Point is, they’re all generic kid characters, and the focus of their character is on them being kids, not being a boy or girl. It’s the most trivial thing to get hung up on.

Well, I’ll have to disagree with you on that. Did Saitama call the Tank-Top brothers, or Snek, or Sonic, hysteric? 

No, he beat them up. How is that better? Still doesn’t change that Fubuki was hysterical in that chapter. She became really fun after that though.

About the other female representation, I’ve addressed the issue here.

And it’s the same cherry-picked opinion piece as your original post. Even when you try to elaborate on the King situation, you failed to notice that both males and females were running scared from the monster, and both males and females act confident once King shows up. It’s right there in the panels that were shown to you. You point out that King is man who saved a woman, and fail to see the irony that King is likely weaker and more cowardly than every poor citizen he’s “saved”.

Heck, when you bring up Tatsumaki and Fubuki in that post, it’s full of strange reasoning again. Tatsumaki and Fubuki having a strained relationship is negative because it’s not realistic and because women having conflicts with other women is... bad? I mean, sibling animosity like that is most certainly real (source: taught children), and the second part disregards their fully explained backstory which is damn interesting in my opinion. Comparing their relationship to the other siblings isn’t any better because having mirror relationships would be boring and completely change the sister’s personalities.

If you want to address Sonic’s sexualization, go ahead – I’d love to hear your opinion.

You said, Sonic doesn’t count. I said, be consistent if you’re going to complain about sexualization. It’s not on me to elaborate.

Most of people nowdays access anime or manga for free, on the internet; a considerable part of a series’ profits comes from merchandise and related products. 

So your intention is that you don’t want anyone involved in opm to profit from people who really enjoy the series and do so for free? Or are you trying to save people from condoning these issues you have with the series? Yes, it does sound like you’re holding your opinion pretty darn high over the decision making of others.

Yeah, I wrote a long reply because you displayed poor reading comprehension, and a bunch of people agreed with it without ever having touched the series in any form. Yes, you’re entitled to your opinion, but you chose to present it as fact. No amount of llama’s can hide that.

I’m sorry everyone, I’m going to post a reply to that opm rant post again. Scroll furiously if you have to.

THANK YOU for the reply on that OPM post. It was so exaggerated and cherry picked. Please dont let any mean anons make you change your stance cause you are 100% right. Im not saying Onepunch is perfect but I dont want it to be branded as "gross problematic trash" by tumblr and have people get bullied for liking and defending it.

Thanks, anon. Honestly, it’s inevitably going to grind some people’s gears, that’s the fate of all entertainment. However, if one is going to make a case for it being problematic, they should at least have the decency of providing proper context and to not pretend like they knew what the author was thinking 6 years ago.

sorry that last post was stupidly long :\ I wish I could put it under a cut
