>>54352969the scene in which she dresses like a whore (Fennekin outfit), the ecchi scene with Ash sick, the boring performance scenes dressed as an idol... among many other things and scenes where she wets her panties for Ash. She lacks independence, she is existentially dependent on a male character because she without crush on Ash is nothing and has no audience appeal beyond that. She was reduced to being an object of desire for the male audience, that's why 80% of her fans are simps, waifu-fags and Ash self-inserters. Even if they want to give her independence, she will never get out of it. No one wants to see Serena as an independent character but as "Ash's wife" because she is merely a tool to enrapture the male audience. The anime is full of those characters but I never thought we would see them in Pokémon in such an intense way.
