Chaos Dragon and Gender Flips

whereismywizardhat submitted:

You know, in the adaptation from one medium to another, Gender flips happen.  Most of the time, it’s actually to balance out a mostly male cast with some female characters, which is good.

Here’s what’s not good

This is from the anime Chaos Dragon, an adaptation of the light novel series based upon Gen Urobuchi and Kinoko Nasu’s tabletop game sessions.  This is Lou Zhenjie, Urobuchi’s character.  Notice the difference, beyond the genderswap, in how the character is treated?

It’s pretty terrible.

And people tell us that the parodies we feature are too ridiculous… I tend to think they’re not ridiculous enough!
