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. |

The Penguins of Madagascar has a pretty decent fandom of teenage girls who love shipping the titular penguins with Marlene, Julien or each other. Many of them also tend to fangirl over Skipper and Kowalski. Hans is also pretty popular and tends to be shipped with Skipper. | |

Despite Genshin Impact's Fan Nickname Breath of the Waifu, this game has no shortage of female fans. 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. | |

Samurai Jack is enjoyed by a wide audience, but one reason plenty of female fans enjoy it is because of Jack himself. Considering how he has a very well-built body and often suffers Clothing Damage during fights (and will sometimes end up in nothing but his Fundoshi) as well as often having his long hair come undone, it's hardly surprising. | |

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. | |

"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. | |

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. |

Master and Commander: A lot of appeal came from the original source — the Aubrey-Maturin series. The film also comes with a bunch of buff men in breeches, Russell Crowe, Paul Bettany, and a scene with a half-naked injured Stephen moaning in a way that sounds a tad erotic. While Jack's hands press down on his naked abdomen. No wonder fangirls love it. | |

Bungo Stray Dogs is actually a seinen manga, but most of the fanbase consists of female fans. Presumably, this is due to the many Pretty Boys making up the cast, and the fact that pretty much every female character is an Action Girl devoid of Fanservice. | |

D.Gray-Man is technically shonen, but with the sheer quantity of Bishōnen and Mr. Fanservice like Allen, Kanda, Tyki, and Lavi, it's no wonder that the vast majority of its readers and fans are female. But then, it is written by a woman, so maybe it's just Author Appeal lining up with the wishes of the fangirl masses. | |

If Tumblr has anything to go by, Hunter × Hunter has a fairly large female fanbase. Most of it focuses on Hisoka, but there's also fangirls for Chrollo, Illumi, Feitan, Phinks, Shalnark, Kurapika, Kalluto, Alluka, Killua and Gon (the last four are the Moe kind of appeal). The female fans tend to like to ship the aforementioned and others with each other. | |

The Flash: Wally West has a fairly active fanbase of women and gay/bi men, moreso than the other Flash family, to the point the Flash fans among the Feminist Comics Blogosphere tends to be made up almost entirely of Wally fans. 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. | |

Community is mostly aimed at male fans, but still has a large group of vocal female fans due to the good-looking male actors. The most notable examples are Danny Pudi, Joel McHale (who is constantly losing his shirt), and Donald Glover, all of whom female fans are still constantly rewatching the show for to this day. | |

Les Amis de l'ABC from Les Misérables: A group of 9 young revolutionaries, some of whom are very close, results in a pretty much all-female fandom. While there is a preference for Enjolras, fangirls often write slash involving any pairings of these. Hell, an almost entirely male cast of characters pretty much guarantees fangirls will find someone to Squee about! | |

The Founding Fathers. The musical 1776 probably helped cement this! Damn you, Mister Adams. Now compounded times a thousand by the juggernaut that is Hamilton to the point where girls are casually referring to a politician from the 1700s as "Alex". |

Trigun has a very large female following in spite of being a seinen, many of them fans of the good looking male characters including Vash, Wolfwood, Legato, and Knives. This is something even the author has noted. Yasuhiro Nightow's next series, Blood Blockade Battlefront, which is shounen, may have taken it even further, as official merch included body pillows of the male characters! | |

Ninja Sex Party is a comedy band with a lot of humor poking fun at straight male sexcapades, and Danny Sexbang's obsession with sex is usually meant to be comically disproportionate to how much success he really has. 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.) | |

Most of the writers of Cracked have a large female (well, not necessarily...) fanbase who aren't there for the comedy.

A good reason behind the success of High School Musical, originally intended for the 9-13 demographic of both genders, is because of the female fans who were attracted to the male casts, especially Zac Efron. Disney Channel ran with it, and made these boy-obsessed teenage girls their primary target in the next two films. | |

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." | |

The Mandalorian has several fangirls, who find that the attitude, voice, and swagger Pedro Pascal (and his body doubles) bring to the title character make him the sexiest man ever to don 24-Hour Armor. 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. | |

Metal Gear: Solid Snake and Big Boss have very devoted fangirls. Snake's ass and Big Boss's crotch and chest are all very well rendered. Coincidence? A subgroup could take or leave the Snakes themselves, as long as they can keep his English voice-actor. The Woobie Otacon also has a devoted fangirl base. As does Raiden. And Raikov. 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. |

It helps that the former ends up married to the show's resident Fangirl parody. | |

Molly of Denali is technically aimed at a gender-neutral audience (since the main character is a tomboy), but there are older female fans that fangirl over Kenji, Tooey's dad.

Marvel Cinematic Universe The "mud wrestling" fight in Thor does a lot for the ladies in the audience, as do Hunk Thor and Pretty Boy Loki. Thor: Ragnarok added the Silver Fox Grandmaster to that particular mix. In the previews for Captain America: The First Avenger, Chris Evans was already acquiring an estrogen brigade. And as of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, so does Sebastian Stan. The Avengers. All of them. Special mention goes to Mark Ruffalo's Shirtless Scene, who already won the Estrogen Brigade over with his Stoic Woobie performance. It's almost unfair — the guys just get Scarlett Johansson, while the girls get an entire team of strong, muscular, virile men in either tight-fitting or sleeveless costumes. |

Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet has perhaps one of biggest collection of fangirls out of all the Disney human males. His character design, his Troubled, but Cute personality, his smarts and action scenes, and the fact that he's voiced by a now big time celebrity Joseph Gordon-Levitt and is one of the rare handsome Disney heroes that remains single all factor into this, even with the fact that he's 15-years-old (probably because he certainly doesn't look that young.) | |

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. | |

Berserk is set in an ultra-violent universe where being female is an even worse fate than just being born in it but the deep storyline and compelling characters have universal appeal. That and the fact that Guts and Griffith get naked almost as often as the ladies and have a rather intense relationship. | |

Similarly to Avatar: The Last Airbender, Teen Titans, despite being originally aimed at boys aged below 12, has attracted many older female fans, mainly due to a crapload of characters serving the role of Estrogen Brigade Baits. | |

The Legend of Zelda has had a pretty damn big one ever since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The reason why should be obvious note an interview with the creators revealed this was entirely intentional. Apparently Link was designed to suit the preferences of one artist's wife.. This is even referenced in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. If the player finishes the STAR minigame in Hyrule Castle Town, a group of girls will squee and run away every time Link goes by. You get a couple of free hearts from the pure power of estrogen left in their wake. | |

Batman: The female fandom is still very small, but type any combination of male characters into the search bar on DeviantArt some time, if you dare. With all the Foe Romance Subtext, the fact Bruce Wayne is generally depicted as a rather handsome fellow, ass-kicking female characters, Nightwing, and a huge cast of interesting villains, many of whom are just begging for Draco in Leather Pants treatment… it's sort of a wonder the Estrogen Brigade for Batman isn't bigger. | |

The Red Green Show had a couple of examples in Patrick McKenna and Peter Keleghan. Creator and star Steve Smith even Lampshaded it, noting in interviews how many women fell madly in love with McKenna's Endearingly Dorky character Harold. Female fans on Red Green comment boards, YouTube videos and even the Twitch chat of Steve Smith's son have all gushed about Keleghan. On the DVD commentary of the film Duct Tape Forever Smith noted that that Keleghan was too handsome to be portraying the Cloudcuckoolander Ranger Gord. | |

The Star Trek franchise has had one from the beginning and every incarnation of the show is guaranteed to create one. 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 (Cristóbal Rios) and Harry Treadaway (Narek) are the main heartthrobs of the series. |

The Prince of Tennis has a huge female following thanks to the Cast Full of Pretty Boys, to the point that it almost completely eclipses the male following it was originally meant for. 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. | |

Death Note: Light Yagami, a delusional Knight Templar who kills hundreds of people to cleanse the world of evil attracts a lot of fangirls in and out of universe who support him just because he's hot. L gets this even more than Light, due to his distinctive appearance and voice. Most female (and a good many male) fans want to kiss him. Many a Flame War has been started over who is sexier between L and Light. |

Despite the Game Grumps' Vulgar Humor being geared more towards other gamer guys, there's a decent female fandom, many of whom find the Grumps attractive. 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. | |

Tends to be rather obvious in Professional Wrestling, and tend to have their own favorites apart from the rest of the crowd. Ever notice how the cheers for a Jeff Hardy, or a Randy Orton, or especially John Cena are much higher-pitched than the cheers for any other wrestler? (Though in Cena's case, it's also because of children) Especially when Jeff takes off his shirt… | |

He's an attractive Pretty Boy, has a very well-defined ass, his modern costume is sleek and compliments his figure better than almost any other make superhero costume, an he's a sensitive Nice Guy who is shown to be a loving boyfriend. It's well known that Dick has one of most sizeable fanbases of fangirls and gay/bi men. | |

The men from Mystery Science Theater 3000 all seem to have their own little pockets of fangirls if one puts enough effort into finding them (i.e.: head onto DeviantArt or LiveJournal, for starters). Joel, Mike, Forrester, Frank...even Torgo has his fangirls. And if you look on Youtube, you will find that Crow and Tom both have their fair share of fangirls too. Despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that they are robots. | |

Ben 10 and its sequel are both aimed at preteen boys, but the shows have garnered a fair amount of teenage-and-up female fans. Some of them enjoy the show as an entity, but others just watch it for one of the male characters (or for the Shipping…). Kevin is the most popular (particularly when he grows up), but some girls prefer Grandpa Max. This seems to be a recurring theme for Man of Action, with similar fanbase for Generator Rex and one already developing for Ultimate Spider-Man. | |

One Piece: Zoro and Sanji, being manly and the most conventionally attractive males, tend to be the title's biggest fangirl-bait, especially to yaoi fangirls. 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. |

Tintin: The female fans have taken quite a liking to Tintin and the Captain, even if the art style of the comic books is the opposite of "sensual". It probably adds to their eroticism how the two characters get into perilous situations quite often, sometimes even tied up, which can add to those who have the fetish. | |

On paper, The Covenant was meant to be The Craft for the male demographic, given the male leads, emphasis on action scenes, and at least one shower scene with the main female character. In practice, between the cast of handsome young men (including a young Steven Strait, Taylor Kitsch, and Sebastian Stan) and the numerous Ho Yay scenes between them, it's got a far larger female fanbase. | |

Jujutsu Kaisen's abundance of attractive male characters has led it to garner a solid female fanbase as well as an LGBT Fanbase, despite being a male-aimed shonen fighting series packed with gruesome horror and vicious battles. In particular, Gojo's pretty design and cocky personality, combined with his incredible power, has gained a huge fanbase of women primarily interested in him. Sukuna also has a huge number of female fans due to his extremely muscular appearance and completely dickish personality, meaning he strikes a solid All Girls Want Bad Boys appeal. | |

Final Fantasy games tend to have a large Estrogen Brigade, and, naturally, so does Kingdom Hearts, to the point that they seem to have female-dominated fandoms with a Testosterone Brigade. Final Fantasy VII deserves a special mention. Sephiroth has more fangirls squealing over him than any male fan that that was supposed to think he looks badass. Let's not forget that shirtless alternate costume for spin-offs, he is just one of the dozens of reasons girls play this. A lot of girls are there just for Shipping too. |

The Santa Clause: While the film is mostly aimed at young boys, it has a fairly large fanbase of females due to David Krumholtz as Bernard the Elf, with his good looks and Deadpan Snarker personality making him the childhood crush of many 90s girls. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is famous for its very large female fanbase due in no part to all the Ho Yay and disproportionately male cast, but is primarily a shonen geared towards male audiences and often full of ultraviolent content. Hell, the all-female manga artist group CLAMP even got their start doing doujinshi and slashy fanart for this series. In the way of characters, Jean-Pierre Polnareff has a very strong following among female fans, owing to his chivalrous Butt-Monkey nature, to the point that Polnareff is one of the most common characters that female fans cosplay as. |

Pictured is the cover to a FoxTrot collection, showing how a good portion of The Lord of the Rings viewers were fangirls ogling Legolas, though many others differed chiefly in that they preferred Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen).

Spider-Man: The series has assembled quite a large brigade over the years, which may be in part because Spider-Man does have a very noticeable "feminine side", being portrayed as quite sensitive and even shown crying on a few occasions. 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. | |

High School Dx D is aimed at a male audience, stars a perverted hero who powers up through his love of breasts, and is filled with male-oriented Fanservice, but has a large enough female fanbase to be sold in the women's section of bookshops. Despite Issei's Brutal Honesty about his love of boobs, he is deeply loyal to his beloved, always treats women with respect and will always help out someone who is in trouble. It doesn't hurt that the (mostly female) supporting cast have ongoing Character Arcs which don't centre around Issei, and that he has both male allies and Blood Knight rivals who get excited when they think about him. | |

Even before Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi had a sizeable Estrogen Brigade for The Thick of It, including plenty of women who want to be bollocked by Malcolm Tucker. 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. |

It's only appropriate that Jamie Bamber get his own brigade for Battlestar Galactica, because he had one during his run in the Horatio Hornblower TV movies, probably due to his Pretty Boy looks and proclivity to wavering between being a daring hero and a complete woobie. The '90s fandoms are weirdly dedicated, and Crumpeteers — his character Archie Kennedy was fondly called "Crumpet" — swoon over Archie and write fan fic about him in The New '10s. | |

"Baltar's Nymph Brigade". Note that by the final season, he had gained an in-show, religiously fanatical Estrogen Brigade derided as a "nymph-squad" by the President. "Trucco's Troops" is another one. Apollo and Starbuck each have quite a fangirl following as well during the original show's run. |

I=MGCM has a few female players, although that game is aimed for the Seinen demographic and has lots of Fanservice and Visual Innuendo, and there's an alternate NSFW version called MGCM DX. Many female players are focused on the player protagonist Tobio Hakari, who is a Nice Guy and cares about his heroines, especially when he is an Executor and he's the best in comparison to his alternate selves. The female players also like the game's adorable and attractive heroines, and Tobio's Remote Body Omnis. | |

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. | |

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. |

Fighting Video Games such as Tekken, The King of Fighters, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter had these, 'cause you know what. The King of Fighters deserves special mention since SNK has heavily acknowledged its female fanbase since the 90s and even made multiple otome games based on the franchise. There's also Guilty Gear and Blazblue which has had events and merch specifically for female fans. | |

Encanto introduces us to fan favorite, Camilo Madrigal and watching him it's not difficult to see why he's loved despite having such a limited presence. At the time of the film's premiere in Disney+, the boy has brought and attracted a hurricane of fangirls and fanboys because, apart from having a surprisingly good singing voice, he's a slender teenage boy, with full cheeks, a cocky grin, mischievous green eyes, bouncy curly hair and a golden complexion that mixes the contrasting skin tones of both his parents. | |

Toku has been attracting female viewers at least since 2000, when Joe Odagiri was cast as Kamen Rider Kuuga and drew the attention of adult women and teenage girls who were watching the show alongside their sons/little brothers; in fact, the Japanese even refer to this as the Odagiri Effect. 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. | |

The Ace Attorney fandom: They are extremely... vocal about prosecutor Miles Edgeworth. The "Edgey Fan Base" on the biggest fansite's forum took up literally more than half the posts in the section about Edgeworth's first game in the series. Apollo gathers fangirls too, thanks to being cute and dorky. Godot/Diego Armando has a smaller but vehemently loyal fangirlbase despite (and sometimes because of) his relationship with Mia Fey. |

The Aubrey-Maturin book series is about the adventures of a naval ship captain during the Napoleonic Wars. Readers come for the history; they stay for the massive Ho Yay between Captain Aubrey and his best friend, the ship's surgeon and resident Badass Bookworm, Stephen Maturin. (Even without the slash, Stephen's pack of loyal fangirls would still give the Aubreyad a decently sized Estrogen Brigade.) It doesn't help that they call each other things like "my joy", "my heart", "my soul"... Stephen's LOVE INTEREST even says to him that "anyone would think you were married to that man"! | |

While the majority of Sword Art Online fans are male, there was a notable influx of female fans during the Alicization arc, when another Pretty Boy character, Eugeo, was introduced. This resulted in a number of Yaoi Genre fanfiction and doujinshi involving him and main character Kirito. | |

The Lorax (2012) made the Once-ler a human. A very cute human. A very cute human with a sympathetic POV. He is probably one of the well-known examples, as most of his fans didn't really care about the movie itself and would ship his nicer self from the beginning of the movie with his greedy business self he became later on, to the point where it unfortunately became somewhat common to make fun of them for it, with some former Onceler fans considering it Old Shame. | |

Surprisingly, the Mega Man games (particularly with Mega Man (Classic) and Mega Man X) has a large female fanbase. There are several possible reasons for this: the adorable main protagonist of the Classic series (alongside many other cute characters like Roll and Ice Man), the numerous "attractive" robot men like Bass and Zero, and for Yaoi Fangirls, the majority-male cast that provides ample fuel for Shipping. | |

The Camp Half-Blood Series: Yes, Percy Jackson and the Olympians was originally marketed to preteen boys, but a large number of girls and adult women love Rick Riordan's books (and male characters) too.

X-Men: Apocalypse: If you look at the main cast listing, just about every male actor is a stud muffin.note Perhaps the only one who would be considered unconventional-looking is Kodi Smit-McPhee, but his character Nightcrawler has inspired many crushes.

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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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. | |
