Estrogen Brigade	comment	An enclave of female fans within a traditionally male-dominated fandom. They tend to focus on a particular character or actor, rather than the entire series. Occasionally both sides butt heads over largely superficial reasons, with buckets of opposite-sex awkwardness, which can get defensive. It should also be noted that not all female fans within such a fandom are necessarily of the Estrogen Brigade. Unfortunately, it is because of this phenomenon that the female fan is sometimes regarded with suspicion — especially if she admits that she does, in fact, happen to find some of the male cast pleasing to the eye. However, finding certain members of the cast to be attractive does not necessarily preclude a fan from liking other aspects of a particular work — and, thus, should not automatically invalidate her as being a "true fan". An Estrogen Brigade is easily attracted by hints of Ho Yay, since many members of such brigades seem to agree that Guy on Guy Is Hot. Female Gaze is often used to invoke this. Not to be confused with Amazon Brigade. Its Spear Counterpart is the Testosterone Brigade, which, while debatable, may be even more frequent.

Kaeya, Diluc, Xiao, and especially Tartaglia and Zhongli are the most common recipients of fangirls. miHoYo apparently considered this, as the in-game web event that features Zhongli and Tartaglia plays out like a dating sim (sans the romance elements). It even has Lumine, the character yumejoshi would most likely choose as their player character, as the protagonist for the event.

Estrogen Brigade / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach has not so much an Estrogen Brigade as an Estrogen Legion. It has one of the largest female fan followings in recent memory, in no small part due to the competent and relatively compelling female characters, the intrigue behind the Myth Arc, the world-building, the action... and the men being subjected to Clothing Damage much more often than the women.

Estrogen Brigade / int_1dbbf4d0	comment	"Clique"-era Shawn Michaels was blatantly marketed at female fans, to the point of doing a spread in Playgirlnote Apparently no one told him (or Vince) until after the magazine hit store shelves that Playgirl is mainly bought by gay men, not women. As such, Michaels really doesn't like people bringing this up, in fact the cover of that issue of Playgirl is the page image for the pro wrestling section of the Creator Backlash trope. Of course, the result was the male fans turning against him in a way that makes the current reaction to John Cena seem positively tame, culminating in Madison Square Garden rabidly cheering Sid of all wrestlers at Survivor Series 1996. In the pre-Attitude era, that type of fan revolt was shocking. Many male fans take great pleasure in the stunned reaction of a female fan in the front row of that match when Sid pins Michaels clean in the middle as MSG erupts in cheers.

Estrogen Brigade / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem has always been a game about war, death and political intrigue between kingdoms, and depending on where each setting places on the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, it could even show no illusions on how bad women had it, most notably shown in Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776. Even so, the franchise has earned a gargantuan female following thanks to its deep characters, strong female protagonists and endless supply of handsome men, with all of this being before the Ho Yay is factored in. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn are especially infamous for their Estrogen Brigade. Taking place in a setting chock-full of Grey-and-Gray Morality, mature themes like genocide and racism, and the fact that Ike was a BFS-wielding mercenary basically made the Tellius games a Lighter and Softer Berserk. Despite this, they manage to have the largest female-following of the settings, in no shortage to the gargantuan Cast Full of Pretty Boys, the deep storyline, characters and worldbuilding, and endless supply of strong female characters. And this series manages to have the most Ho Yay in a series full of Ho Yay. The latest installment, Fire Emblem: Three Houses gives us a rare, special case where the character causing the brigade is female. The development team anticipated that Edelgard's house, The Black Eagles, would be aimed at straight men as it has the most female characters. However, Black Eagles wound up being the most popular house for women instead. In fact one can be forgiven for assuming male Byleth doesn't exist as fan content for Edelgard and Byleth is almost exclusively lesbian. When you consider that Edelgard is a Lady of War with a Dark and Troubled Past who has a cold exterior but is a Smitten Teenage Girl when it comes to the player character regardless of gender, it's easy to see why this happened. Dorothea and Petra are very popular was well, the former for being The Tease and the latter for being such a genuine Nice Girl. That's not to say the intended Estrogen Brigade Bait underperformed, however: the Blue Lions has the most conventionally handsome guys in the cast, with strong personalities and a lot of emotional complexity to delve into, especially where the Tragedy of Duscur is concerned. There's a reason why the Fan Nickname for the Blue Lions "the Otome house". Dimitri, the head of the house and a potential poster boy for Jerkass Woobie after the time skip, ran away with the votes in a female-majority poll◊ that also gave a lot of love to his house in general and is so well-liked that he even placed on a poll of favorite Nintendo characters, outdoing Yoshi and Princess Peach. Even taking recency bias into account, that's some impressive reception. Sylvain and Felix are also extremely popular for being very handsome, having attractive voices and with angsty backstories. Claude's popularity shouldn't be undersold either, as he's a hugely popular character who came second only to Dimitri in the same poll and many female players have admitted to choosing the Golden Deer house just because they wanted to marry him.

Wally is a Mr. Fanservice whose tweaks to the Flash costume included it being drawn in a way that better shaded his figure, with his belt being reshaped in a way to emphasise his butt and crotch, and though he was kind of an ass early on, he's shown to be a Chivalrous Pervert who, upon falling in love, becomes a very devoted and caring boyfriend. Notably, unlike many other comic book relationships where the woman is subject to Male Gaze, Linda Park is very rarely sexualised to even remotely the same level as Wally, making it apparent that Even the Guys Want Him.

Even with the parody angle, however, he's an extravagant, attractive rock star in spandex and eyeliner — the female fanbase was inevitable. (Most of the fans get the joke, of course — it just makes the character seem more approachable.)

Estrogen Brigade / int_43576f5	comment	For an example of this phenomenon at its peak, go visit a Supernatural convention. Guaranteed at least 90% women. One notable convention, Wincon (formerly known as WinchesterCon) used to have a women-only policy — male fans were only admitted if they were accompanied by a female fan. They've relaxed that restriction, but still maintain a strict anti-harrassment policy to create a "safe space" for female fans to express themselves. Female fans and queer fans too. For a sample of Supernatural's appeal to the GBTQ community, check the recaps on on Television Without Pity, where longtime recapper Demian (a gay man) provides strong story analysis while calling Jensen Ackles "Ducky Lips."

Additionally, the last few episodes of Season 2 have Mando reinforce his reputation as a good daddy by sacrificing his adherence to the creed against exposing his visage to other living things. As he nervously interacts unmasked with other people, Pascal both adorably demonstrates social awkwardness, and shows off his handsome face.

Though that is hardly a surprise. Even Volgin gets this. Some people just seem to be into that sort of thing. After the players were introduced to their younger selves, both Ocelot and Roy Campbell have been gathering fangirls rapidly. Ocelot fangirls call themselves "Ocelthots". Kazuhira Miller, although not as large as Ocelot's, also has a lot of fangirls. Liquid Snake, being a shirtless Evil Brit, is very much liked by fangirls.

Mr Chekov in Star Trek: The Original Series was added to the show specifically for just such appeal. Amusingly enough, a giant Brigade had already been formed. The Spock Fangirl base is legendary in its... intensity, as Leonard Nimoy details in I Am Spock. Interestingly the Trope Namer was Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Alexander Siddig (real name Siddig El-Fadil), whose web fan ring "The Siddig El-Fadil Estrogen Brigade" predates more famous offshoot Estrogen Brigades like those for Jonathan Frakes and Patrick Stewart. Creator's Pet Wesley Crusher, played by Wil Wheaton, also had one. There are Spiner Femmes, female fans of Lt. Commander Data and Brent Spiner who portrayed him. Star Trek: Picard: Ex-model Evan Evagora (Elnor), Santiago Cabrera (CristÃ³bal Rios) and Harry Treadaway (Narek) are the main heartthrobs of the series.

Despite being a shonen manga originally aimed at teenage boys, executives eventually realized how popular it had become with girls and started marketing it towards a female audience as well; there are Otome Games based on the series, as well as regular ads for it in shoujo magazines and magazines aimed at female otaku. The musicals would attract even more female fans.

It's not hurt by the frequency of jokingly-flirtatious humor, Arin being In Touch with His Feminine Side and often choosing female players, and the incorporation of games geared towards girls on the show. Danny's inclusion also helps as his stint in Ninja Sex Party has people already attracted to him. The Grumps are aware that fans find them attractve, to the degree of putting out body pillows (including furry versions!) as official merch.

It's not surprising that those two are also the most commonly paired together in slash fanfics. It's often suspected that Ace was introduced to show what Luffy will look like once he's aged up a bit. There is no shortage of fanfiction that ships the two as a couple either (which could be considered incest shipping since the two of them are basically brothers). Luffy himself qualifies too, what with rarely keeping his shirt buttoned in post-timeskip episodes. Heck, even post-Time Skip Usopp can leave some females stunned. In recent chapters/episodes, Trafalgar Law—who was already disproportionately popular despite previously being a relatively minor character—has also received a lot more screentime...and the fangirls rejoiced.

Also, right from the start taking his romances very seriously — even when he was dating Betty Brant as a high-school student, he was thinking in terms of the future marriage — and it is not for nothing that ever since the Stan Lee/John Romita run The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) has been described as a soap opera with action interludes. When a fan magazine once asked an assemblage of female comics creators to name their favourite superheroines, one of them half-jokingly named Spidey, explaining that he qualified as an "honorary female" anyway.

Most of them seem to be around half his age, and many are also fans of Jamie. Angry Scots seem to be very attractive... Believe it or not, there are a number of other characters in the TTOI who have plenty of fangirls. Julius Nicholson has his share, probably for the same reason as Jamie and Malcolm. Adam Kenyon, despite being a massive Jerkass, also gets in on this. As does Phil, whose lack of shame about his nerdy interests and Undying Loyalty to Peter can come off as endearing.

Estrogen Brigade / int_d908efc	comment	Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, followed one of its inspirations, Bleach, on the tremendously large female fanbase in Japan (and some worldwide) it amounted since its early humble Manga beginnings, before the Anime pushed the series to grow a more diverse fanbase; fan works such as fanart is dominated by women producing pieces geared towards their own tastes, such as the prettiest men and boys looking fabulous, and of course the more explicit side of that being of the Yaoi Genre. Official popularity polls in Japan often result in showing how women make sure to get their most handsome crushes ranking at the top, while the female characters linger on the lower rankings; Zenitsu, Muichiro and Giyu are the most consistently beloved characters by women in Japan, with Tengen, Enmu and Doma popping up sometimes. This clear female presence in a male demographic geared work sometimes pushes the merchandise to be unisex, containing line of products with items with men and women in mind.

Estrogen Brigade / int_e04f934e	comment	The latest installment, Fire Emblem: Three Houses gives us a rare, special case where the character causing the brigade is female. The development team anticipated that Edelgard's house, The Black Eagles, would be aimed at straight men as it has the most female characters. However, Black Eagles wound up being the most popular house for women instead. In fact one can be forgiven for assuming male Byleth doesn't exist as fan content for Edelgard and Byleth is almost exclusively lesbian. When you consider that Edelgard is a Lady of War with a Dark and Troubled Past who has a cold exterior but is a Smitten Teenage Girl when it comes to the player character regardless of gender, it's easy to see why this happened. Dorothea and Petra are very popular was well, the former for being The Tease and the latter for being such a genuine Nice Girl. That's not to say the intended Estrogen Brigade Bait underperformed, however: the Blue Lions has the most conventionally handsome guys in the cast, with strong personalities and a lot of emotional complexity to delve into, especially where the Tragedy of Duscur is concerned. There's a reason why the Fan Nickname for the Blue Lions "the Otome house". Dimitri, the head of the house and a potential poster boy for Jerkass Woobie after the time skip, ran away with the votes in a female-majority poll◊ that also gave a lot of love to his house in general and is so well-liked that he even placed on a poll of favorite Nintendo characters, outdoing Yoshi and Princess Peach. Even taking recency bias into account, that's some impressive reception. Sylvain and Felix are also extremely popular for being very handsome, having attractive voices and with angsty backstories. Claude's popularity shouldn't be undersold either, as he's a hugely popular character who came second only to Dimitri in the same poll and many female players have admitted to choosing the Golden Deer house just because they wanted to marry him.

Ever since then, producers have been invoking this trope by casting handsome actors, singers, and male models as their heroes in the hopes of drawing in older female viewers with more disposable income. It's also gender-flipped, as most female roles in these shows are played by cute singers and swimsuit models in order to draw in fathers and older boys.

Estrogen Brigade / int_f5d65e29	comment	During the run of Beauty and the Beast, Ron Perlman acquired one. On account of Perlman rarely giving interviews and being a virtual nobody at the time, most viewers didn't even know what he looked like out of makeup and the Brigade was therefore based on sheer romanticism.

Estrogen Brigade / int_f9ab713d	comment	Osomatsu-san became well known for their brigade halfway through the series' run. What happens when you put some of the Estrogen Brigade's most beloved voice actors in the same household as vitriolic brothers? You get this trope right out of the starting gate. Despite their character designs being the furthest from what people would consider attractive, the Matsuno brothers' voices combined with their quirky personalities quickly sold fangirls on the series. It helps that Jun Fukuyama's throaty growl as Ichimatsu was a major Playing Against Type performance that fans found bizarrely sensual.

Now he's getting a more traditional Estrogen Brigade, since he's being portrayed by Ryan Reynolds.

Estrogen Brigade / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers has always been aimed at boys, with female characters in the franchise few and far-between. Despite this, the series has a female fanbase, which seemingly exploded in size with Transformers: Prime. Why? Two reasons: one, the show aired back-to-back with My Little Pony; two, Knock Out. Girls LOVE Knock Out, almost as much as they love fanfictions and music videos that romantically pair him with other male transformers.

Estrogen Brigade / int_fe83990a	comment	Saint Seiya, published in Weekly Shonen Jump, has many bishonen characters to satisfy fangirls' eyes, especially the YaoiFangirls with its infamous Libra Temple's scene between Shun and Hyoga, added with that most of the male characters are considered more attractive than the females. And in the Sanctuary arc, Saga had a rather long bath scene, which lead to numerous fanart based off that scene to be created. All of these make one think if this series was created for boys because there is only one Shower Scene that features a female character that not even the male fans even remember it.

Estrogen Brigade / int_ff8dd2b2	comment	The Wheel of Time (2021) is aimed mostly at male fantasy fans, but has surprisingly developed a large female fanbase. This mainly comes in two forms: A) fangirls who consider Daniel Henney as al'Lan Mandragoran to be hot and B) the LGBT Fanbase who are here because they consider Rosamund Pike as Moiraine to be hot.
