Testosterone Brigade: Difference between revisions

* Most male fans of [[Kaichou wa Maid Sama]] like it because of Misaki Ayuzawa, the female lead, and her dynamics with Usui.

* ''[[Sailor Moon (Manga)|Sailor Moon]]''. While it is primarily a shojo anime, it actually has quite a bit of a male following as well, with all the Sailor Senshi being really hot, [[Hot Amazon|kickass]] [[Action Girl|action girls]]. There are Testosterone Brigades for approximately all ten of the female leads.

** [[Magical Girl]] series in general, really, to the point where some modern series are written [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Little Girls?|primarily for a slightly older, mostly male audience]]. ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Anime)|Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' and ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'' are among the most successful examples.

* The large male fanbase of the animé classic ''[[Cat's Eye (Manga)|Cat's Eye]]'', which features three [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|highly attractive]], [[Hot Amazon|highly trained]] [[Action Girl|action girls]]. They are essentially a Japanese version of [[Catwoman (Comic Book)|Catwoman]], sans the whip and cat-themed suit. [[Badass Family|All three are sisters]], each one having their own Brigade, and the show can be considered the [[Darker and Edgier]] ancestors of ''[[Totally Spies (Animation)|Totally Spies]]''.

* ''[[Sex and The City]]''. It's a show about [[Ms. Fanservice|four sexy]] [[Christmas Cake|older women]] who like to [[Everybody Has Lots of Sex|have sex]] and talk about it -- and this being [[HBO]], they don't cut away from the nudity.<ref>Out of the four main cast, [[Sarah Jessica Parker]] was the only one who had a no-nudity clause and didn't have to bare her naughty bits for the show -- and perhaps not coincidentally, she's also the one whose appearance is most frequently criticized by men.</ref> While its male fanbase is often stereotyped as being [[Fag Hag|composed primarily of]] [[Camp Gay]] men who watch it for the fashion, during its prime it also had a very large contingent of straight male fans, as it featured a ton of female skin and enough of the male perspective (at times) to occupy straight men's interest.

* ''[[Desperate Housewives]]''. Its description on this wiki even describes it as "not a porn mag, but a US TV drama." At the height of its popularity, [[ABC]] even ran an ad with a guy admitting he watched it... and (unconvincingly) claiming that it was [[I Read It for The Articles|for the story]]. Riiiiiight.

* [[Kate Bush (Music)|Kate Bush]] has a ''very'' large Testosterone Brigade among her fanbase.

* Female-fronted symphonic metal bands such as [[Nightwish]], [[Epica (Music)|Epica]] and [[After Forever (Music)|After Forever]]. While metal music as a whole already has a very large male following (and an [[Estrogen Brigade]]), a good number of these bands' fans are listening and going to concerts for a bit more than just the music.

* When a show is packed with as much [[Fetish Fuel]] as ''[[Totally Spies (Animation)|Totally Spies]]'', it's bound to pick up a lot of male fans along the way.

* ''[[Kim Possible (Animation)|Kim Possible]]''. Have you ''seen'' some of the fan art of [[Deviant ART]]?

* The famous "Brony" fanbase of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. Also a rare example that ''doesn't'' use [[Fan Service]].
