I was watching "Sabrina the teenage witch" on hulu and noticed it said "based on characters from Archie comics." Blew my mind.

I don't remember Archie being gay...I only remember REALLY wanting to kick Reggie's ass and then fuck Veronica in his bed. Me, not Archie1/2
Remember? He's gay.

As someone that got stuck reading Archie comics in my youth, I love it. It's my guilty pleasure tv show.
I grew up with the comics too loved them still have a lot of the books I've bought. I'll check it out.

Give it to me honestly, I got through half the first episode and it seems just awful. Does it get better? Should I continue?
I was a bit unsure at first but it does get better and if say it's worth a watch
It toes the line of "someone's fanfic" and "we had mediocre soap opera and needed a way to sell it". I love it, but it's pretty contrived

My research says Archie comics predate Cosper, but only by ~10 yrs. They overlapped many years. Either one could have been created first!
Couldn't find relevant info for Cosper (nickname) The book is a mix of french drawings before publishing. The rest... unknown.

he also has a habit of losing the girl he is with by wanting another girl, dude pulls

Actually quite a few harem MCs are interested. They do have a tendency to be extremely dense though, which is what makes the trope annoying.

either you're watching only shonen, or you're grossly misinterpreting most anime's protagonists.

Light Yagami?
he's a villain, and a sociopath. and Death Note is seinen, not shonen.
I didn't say he was any of those things, he's an anime protagonist who attracts girls but appears uninterested.
he's still rather unusual. they vast majority of anime protagonists at least aren't villains.
xSquirrelly
He's referring to the harem trope, which is extremely common...
see "grossly misinterpreting most anime's protagonists". just because you don't manage to speak out about it, doesn't mean you're not >
significant number of anime that run the harem trope have a main protagonist that is clueless. Yes, there are a few that aren't. Less common

DamianWinters
Not even Shounen just has characters like that though.
it's still a trope that's more common in shonen than in other genres.
Porecomesis
I think he refers to the Infinite Stratos sort of protagonist, the dense dullard that's about as sexually active as a grain of flour.
yes, that appears to be shonen. either, what kinda example is that? i watch a lot of anime, and even I had to look this series up.
Eh, a circle I was in was kinda familiar with it. Then again, said circle was very weird.
being in a circle is already pretty rare ...
