I don't think any of us are against the idea. Nor are we so desperate to see it that we'll die painfully if we don't get it. We just have varying levels of confidence & faith in them for trying it & doing it right.

Like you said, they're quick to blame their creation for mishaps despite the fact that they created it themselves. Rather than trying to make it better next time they'd sooner sweep it under the rug.

My feelings & thoughts are, though, that a change in marketing & merchandise (Go-Busters) is different than a change in a cast member (main female rider) because of fans' responses. It's pretty easy to guess that people will be vocal about a change in a line of heroes' gender after so many years & strong opinions will arise because of it. Both good & bad of course, but they're there & they're loud. That's what's important.

It's more likely that people are more passionate about that than how one year's mecha toyline were made & distributed. That's why it's easier to blame Go-Busters; not nearly as many people are offended by it. If they tried to make a female main Kamen Rider a scapegoat it wouldn't be as easy because people would eventually speak up. I can't say how much when comparing countries, but I'm sure someone somewhere in Japan wants to see a female main rider just as much as we do, if not more.

All we need is that one Kamen Rider heroine to get their foot in the door. The one that can get people talking. Mind you, that won't guarantee success or equality. But it's a chance to get there, one that hasn't been there before.
