So I dislike the idea that the only way a female character can be important is if they fight.
I see this line a lot, and the problem I have with it is that in recent Rider shows, every single important male character is a Rider.
Like, look at the Reiwa shows. Who are the most important male characters who don't transform? Tassel? Those comic relief guys at Hiden? Buster's son???
I appreciate this line of thinking but I don't think it really looks at things from the flipside, where every semi-important male character (and also ones that barely matter like Slash and Ikazuchi) do transform. When you had shows like OOO or Wizard the focus was on a singular character and a later secondary that could transform, and even shows with a larger amount of Riders from the start like Blade or Agito had major male supporting casts -- and while a lack of female riders in these shows is still annoying, it's a lot easier to accept for those reasons. But in the modern day, every single character gets to transform...
EXCEPT
the girls, so it's way more suspect.
To be quite frank, I would much rather have situations like Ghost or Blade or Drive where none of the girls get to transform but there's only 3-4 Riders in the whole show anyway and most of the characters are supporting cast members; including guys who don't transform. But you can't just throw out "You just don't understand that characters can still be important without transforming!" without acknowledging that it's the most ironic thing you could say about modern Rider where any guy with more than five lines is guaranteed to have a toy on shelves within a couple months.
