Also if that's all it takes for you to be 'done' with a series, I feel sorry for you.

Yeah, it's frustrating or disappointing, but at this point not really surprising. Dividing toys and kid's shows into "for boys" and "for girls" has become really deeply entrenched, and as obnoxious as that dichotomy is, any changes to it are gonna be gradual and erratic at best. Don't get me wrong, I want more female Riders as much as anybody (probably more than a lot of people) but getting angry about it is just gonna burn me out.

As far as I can tell, henshinzero just has this weird obsession with wanting romance in Kamen Rider and has latched onto the idea that a female Rider is required for that. Despite the fact that, rare as female Riders and romance subplots both are in Kamen Rider, there's been practically no overlap between the two! The closest there's been to a romance between Riders is probably some Build slashfic XD
