It's honestly something I've been pondering for a while. Along with why the hell do they like kpop.
I just realised it now, and it's not the main reason (I don't think), but both have a lot of flashy lights. Maybe that's all it takes to hypnotise them.
And I do mean hypnotise; my sister said she didn't want to become one of those girls that liked kpop but, now, likes kpop very much. It is a fascinating thing, how she was completely unable to control her own brain.

I've been wondering this about Taylor Swift. I tried to listen to some of her stuff, and it just seems boring and formulaic. As opposed to someone like 80's Madonna, where the songs themselves are actually really catchy and memorable. There is something else going on with Swift's popularity, which seems to be mostly non-musical in nature.
Taylor Swift, Harry Potter, kpop, none of them involve much complexity to their art. That's something I've noticed as a trend of what women like. It has some sort of surface level complexity but, at its core, is very basic.
And that, when women like something, it is a very large majority of them, like a hive-mind.
part of the appeal of Taylor Swift is she was an ugly duckling who became "hot" not really but what woman think is hot, also endless songs about butthole boyfriends which girls relate to because they have to tell themselves all their own ex's were buttholes so as never to have any moments of self reflection on their own faults, modern women love that "there's nothing wrong with you, you're perfect the way you are, love yourself" mentality
>but she likes horror and true crime for example
EVERY FRICKING WOMAN LIKES HORROR AND TRUE CRIME.
Especially true crime. You think it was men who gave a frick about whoever the frick Ted Bundy was?
That just leaves more sex with current Jenny for me!
>It's the school setting.
Nah, that can't be it, because they don't like school-life anime. The anime that women watch are stuff like Naruto, One Piece and Spy Family.
Something they all have in common is 'plot'. A strong plot, maybe sense of progression or something.
I only saw the first two as a child and haven't watched the latter one.
>Women fricking love that shit because they stop growing mentally at the age of twelve
Honestly, it would be cute and endearing, if they weren't demanding to be able to vote (since I wouldn't let a twelve year old vote).
>they don't like school-life anime
That's because Japanese schools are fricking strange beyond all Western comprehension. Only trannies love that Bizarro World shit.
>strange beyond all Western comprehension
American comprehension, maybe.
To me, a Westerner, American schools are, in fact, more strange to me than Japanese schools.
For one, we and Japan wear uniforms, unlike Americans.

You're clueless, the vast majority of Shojo are in a school setting. The only one not happening in school I can think of is Nana.
can't imagine they resonate with a generation who had ipads in the cradle, too many of the plots center around not being able to find information in books and stuff
The internet didn't become what it is today until 2009-ish. You can roughly gauge when the shift happened when the internet stopped being that weird thing you wasted time at in your room and your dad used for work, and it started being the place your mum read about her horoscope every morning and your dad learnt to look up porn.
this. girls used it for MSN for years prior to this but using an actual internet browser to find something was pretty much geek exclusive for a long time
My wife is not at all geeky, but she fricking loves Harry Potter to the point that she will stop whatever she is doing to talk about it. She reads the smutty fanfiction, she collects Harry Potter merch, and she is determined to turn our kids into Harry Potter fans. It's just one of those things, I don't know. And when I ask her why Harry Potter and not all of the other things that I've tried to get her into she doesn't have a solid answer. But I can tell you that she loves the fact that it's full of redheads and guys with British accents, she really likes to fantasize about being Hermione, she has a weird fantasy where she gets turned into Draco's sex slave, and she just loves the school setting and all of the different magical things. I can't get her to understand any single reference to any single fricking thing from the internet over the last 20 years, but she knows Potter Puppet Pals or that Leviosa cartoon. You could ask her even shit about the EU and she will tell it to you, she's that into it. But good luck getting her to talk to you about anything else, because she's clueless and extremely basic in every other interest she has. Harry Potter is basically for girls what things like Star Wars used to be for guys -- no matter who you were, you enjoyed it and you had a weird obsession with it. There are just so many elements that tickle that little reptilian part of her brain and she can't quite explain it, and I imagine that's true for most girls who like Harry Potter
Yeah but, for men, they can at least explain why they like it (tbh I never liked Star Wars).
For women, they just cannot explain it, as you say. I had that experience with my sister, I asked why she liked something and she simply could not give a single description as to why.
I hope for your sake you are making her cosplay and fricking her silly. Otherwise what the hell man.
Ah to frick a cosplay schoolgirl. Some men can only dream.
>she really likes to fantasize about being Hermione, she has a weird fantasy where she gets turned into Draco's sex slave
and here you are complaining?
Because Harry Potter is a male protag written like a female one. He has no real struggles, not auto good at it? It's useless or a secondary handles it, He doesn't have to earn anything. Money just about falls from the sky for him, a large inheritance from his parents, then the tri wizard money, then the estate of his Godfather. Any wrong done to him is clearly the other's fault.
Isekai is popular for a different reason, actually (at least, the ones I've watched).
In fact, it still holds true to the image, in its own way.
I wonder if I am the first person to realise it and, if so, were to post it here would be to ruin any recognition of it.
It's definitely the school thing and all around it.
Women are good at school.
And in the Potterverse, school is the most important thing in the world.
The greatest wizards known are connected to school somehow, every Hogwart's teacher is the apex in their respective field, the minitry of magic ask Dumbledore for opinions.
Magic is tied to your good grades, something so inocuous and banal that every women can see themselves being the greatest wizard, just by doing ok in school.
Everyone watch over girls, even in their sleep girls knows that teachers patrol the halls.
Following rules gets you points for your house, so if you stay out of trouble (something default for girl) your house does better
You can even have your own fricking pets in the school
Your parents are 1 day away. Literally 1 day away to pick you up if you have a problem.
Is the safest enviroment for girls ever created
Vkunia? That the polish coom bait youtuber who has a racist boyfriend and an army of simps in her own private discord that defend everything she does without question as they hope for a chance to frick her?
Women love highschool settings because its about that time they had the most power in the world. Think about it. >Who rules the world? >Jews >What do israelites desire the most?
Imagine having godlike power and not being allowed to use it until it's basically gone. That's why women become crazy later in life and seek out escapism in stuff like Harry Potter. This is my theory of everything on women.
Women highly prefer stories that involve social aspects, and interacting with other characters. School is a perfect setting for that since it's full of many different boys and girls. This immediately sends a woman's imagination into overdrive with all the possibilities.
Women generally hate physical violence and any gore in stories. They aren't interested in technology either. So no Warhammer 40k, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. Those don't appeal to them.
Harry Potter is different. No physical violence. It's all magic and casting spells at eachother, and going on magical adventures. It's a very soft setting setting. Harry Potter is basically the American equivalent of the Japanese "magical girl" genre except with more boys.
Because it focuses on interpersonal drama and relationships. Women LOVE stuff about people and their inner conflicts regarding others (especially romantic). Men care more about the EVENT and phenomena outside of people's emotional states. Ultra masculine brains are characterized as autistic, even then, you never see an autistic woman who cares about trains and shit.
I think it not only has to do with the escapism fantasy but also the fact it is written by not only the world's most successful female author but the most successful author period. It makes them happy that a woman was able to beat the odds and potential setbacks from some of the men they encountered. It totally makes sense why JK Rowling hates trannies. Imagine some boardroom frick trying to get you to suck their wiener or put you down and 10 years later their screaming girl power and dressing up as a charicature of a lady.
It's a really well-crafted escapist world for young audiences, and its one of the first that lets girls be the big top dog as well as the boys since you're just waving a wand around regardless. And JK Rowling wrote the girls and women in the book to be very competent so female readers could see themselves as being competent and thriving in the escapist world. It's technically just as valid escapism for boys and plenty of boys did become potter freaks but we have a lot more escapist fantasies and universes to obsess over.
A couple key factors.
1) Women like magic and the supernatural.
2) Women like fantasies where they are secretly special.
3) Women like school as school is naturally suited to women's submissive and obedient nature.
4) Women like British accents.
5) Women like school uniforms and dressing up like a sexy child.
6) Women like book movies because they can pretend to be smart for having read a book meant for children without even having to read a children's book.
They forgot to take the Potter Pill
Still think of that video occasionally all these years later

my take away is that women don't have crippling autism.

why plenty of men like sports? its the same logic, my wife doesn't like harry potter but she likes horror and true crime for example
>why plenty of men like sports?
Nerds and geeks don't like sports, which is a lot of men.
>its the same logic
I didn't bother saying it before because I thought it would be obvious: the proportions are different.
>but she likes horror and true crime for example
EVERY FRICKING WOMAN LIKES HORROR AND TRUE CRIME.
Especially true crime. You think it was men who gave a frick about whoever the frick Ted Bundy was?
>women would rather marry a serial killer even with 0/10 looks, than talk to me.
Women are morons.
It’s so funny how The Marvels and Wish flopped because women only want to watch “College Bimbo Gets Dismembered Case #7265”
It taps into the part of their brain that is programmed for warfare.
>Evil being with snek.
>Protag comes back to life in psrt two.
>Fred and George ear joke in part one.
...no idea.
You have to elaborate for me, anon. Biblical references? I don't think that's a huge thing with young women.
It was back in the late 90s and the 2000s, apparently it probably still is if they're fans of magical girls
It's the school setting. Women fricking love that shit because they stop growing mentally at the age of twelve.
sex with jenny nicholson but 10 years ago
nah, I prefer her now that she's obese
I respect the art of architecture but believe it doesn't count if you don't personally perform the feeding.
That just leaves more sex with current Jenny for me!
>they don't like school-life anime
That's because Japanese schools are fricking strange beyond all Western comprehension. Only trannies love that Bizarro World shit.
only inlfuencer im actually a bit sad that she doesnt have an onlyfans
>strange beyond all Western comprehension
American comprehension, maybe.
To me, a Westerner, American schools are, in fact, more strange to me than Japanese schools.
For one, we and Japan wear uniforms, unlike Americans.
Nice boobs

LA RATA
Harry fatty
There's a hot thin girl in there somewhere. Such a shame.
Why do schoolgirls love Harry Potter?
They liked school and miss it.
Is Harry Potter especially popular with younger generations that were either not alive or too young when the books/films came out?
can't imagine they resonate with a generation who had ipads in the cradle, too many of the plots center around not being able to find information in books and stuff
Everyone in a certain age range does. I don't think even the MCU has that degree of universal familiarity.
Anon, the internet was already perfectly accessible in the 00's.
I can remember when people started pulling out their blackberries to fact check everything and it was way after Harry Potter stopped coming out.
>Anon, the internet was already perfectly accessible in the 00's.
At 250kbps.

I asked this to a 13yo who said she read the books and binged the movies with friends.
My grand sample size of 1 answered "yes".
>talk to a child
>"Dude you're a pedo"
Fricking have a nice day holy shit
You seem defensive.
>don't ever interact with children, just let your israeli masters handle their education!
Frick off
The israelites... Are they in the room with us right now?
No, probably in a room with some kids.
You sure you're not on about Catholics?
They're in the other room with the male kids.

Cinemaphile for all your fanfiction critique

Interesting.
This should answer all your questions.
Yes that's why isekai Manga is so popular...

huh never seen it like that. makes sense i guess
my wife also adored fire emblem 3 houses
Who did she pick to stick with when the war broke out?
she played through it 5 times
i did the claude route and shacked up with lysithea
Women like stories written by women
Yeah it's that simple
>why do women like harry potter so much?
Its kino. Simple as. Women have good taste in television and film.
Vkunia? That the polish coom bait youtuber who has a racist boyfriend and an army of simps in her own private discord that defend everything she does without question as they hope for a chance to frick her?
everything you just said is false

My girlfriend loves trains if you know what I mean.
She's a rail enthusiast? I don't get it.
>She's a rail enthusiast?
You could say that. If you're picking up what I'm laying down.
Not really, does she collect models or something?
She enjoys having her lubricated butthole rigorously penetrated by an erect penis, if you sniff my drift
stop speaking in riddles
Also power in HP doesn't rely on physical strength or extreme violence like it does in a lot of male oriented fiction.
JK herself didn't give a shit. Voldemort is a meme sideshow that only exists to further the interpersonal plots.
>you never see an autistic woman who cares about trains and shit
children like things that are made for them.
anyone got that webm of the hermoine cosplayer that does the wand dance?
I don't know but having some knowledge about it has always helped me frick a few
Harry potter was written by a real woman for real women.
I think it not only has to do with the escapism fantasy but also the fact it is written by not only the world's most successful female author but the most successful author period.

idk but reading the books was worth it for the pussy i got
Women think unicorns are dragons were real once. So just let them be women. They just shouldn't be allowed to vote.
>Women think unicorns are dragons were real once
>implying they weren't
Get behind me Satan.
It's a really well-crafted escapist world for young audiences, and its one of the first that lets girls be the big top dog as well as the boys since you're just waving a wand around regardless.
