I'm probably just overreacting.
This has been bothering me for a while but especially in the past few days.
Is it easy for Kubo to be sexist because the fans allow it?
Many people are assuming that Lisa, Hiyori, and Mashiro don't have bankais.
I would be more understanding if it was phrased "The Vizards who were formerly vice-captains probably don't have it because most vice-captains don't."
But the way it's being presented the majority of the time is "The girl Vizards" probably don't have it.
The girl Vizards. e_e
Is it not understandable why that would be upsetting?
There's also quite a few people who would like to see Lisa get defeated so that Shunsui can save her by using bankai.
I want to see Shunsui's bankai as much as anyone else, but why should it be at Lisa's expense? That doesn't seem very fair.
Other things that have bothered me relating to this:
1. Both major arcs (SS and HM) have centered around a damsel in distress storyline (Rukia and Orihime, respectively).
2. Nel was a badass. Until she wasn't. And then she, too, had to be saved by men.
3. Yoruichi beat the hell out of Yammy but had to be saved from his cero by Kisuke. The same Goddess of Flash who knocked out an entire squad in seconds, and outran Byakuya while carrying Ichigo (who is larger than her) AND his sword (also about as tall as her) over her shoulder and without having trained in a hundred years, couldn't use that same shunpo to dodge a cero with Orihime (who is the same size as her) in her arms?
I almost wish I could make myself not like the female characters so much, and then I wouldn't have this problem.
