Are there any characters that are favoured by a specific gender?

That's a good point! 
But would you say that like... Goku is favoured by Male fans even though he is also male

and it's her worship. they don't appreciate his muscles lol
 
Wow there's a lot to unpack here...

all male characters are liked by female fans
and the vice versa is also true lol

Yeah, no. Anime are created, like any form of entertainment, by genre - not by which type of characters they'll parade around (I'll admit that's not always a thing, but that's what ecchi and hentai are for). That's why Shonen and Shojo, Seinen and Josei are things. And even those are only general indicators by which age groups and genders are the show's main focus groups. I enjoy plenty of Seinen anime despite not being a guy.

Of course! Goku is the absolute stereotype of a shonen protagonist!

Do you really... watch Dragon Ball for its muscly main characters? Because that would be an absolute first for me. I mean, you'll never hear me judging a person for what they like for which reason, I just can't imagine watching something similar for a similar reason.

Yes, i like female characters

Fair enough - though I think unless you're watching ecchi or hentai, liking a character based solely on gender is a bit... iffy. But sure, why not?

Some men, yes, others not so much. Everyone has their own kinks.

in general?
i don't know anyone who likes them lol they think it's bad for their ego


What happens between the time you get turned on by something and the time you properly think about how you feel about being turned on by it is a mystery. Lust is rather irrational.
