Lately, among fans, it often takes a self-derogatory tone. Many bishoujo series blatantly appeal to male audiences with pandering tropes, causing large amounts of SelectiveSquick and ValuesDissonance that help cement the {{otaku}} stereotype. Adding a guy to the mix ironically just gets it labeled as a HaremGenre story.

* ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' - although it is expressly ''not'' a HaremSeries, but rather a SchoolgirlSeries; the only regular male characters are a creepy, middle-aged teacher with a [[{{Joshikousei}} fetish for high school girls]] and a giant floating orange cat that [[MindScrew may or may not]] be Chiyo's father. Plus, you know, [[TheOneGuy that one schoolboy]] who fixes Yukari's bike and is then thrown into the series whenever they need to show another student aside from the main cast?

* ''TenshiNiNarumon''.

* ''GunslingerGirl'' has an especially jarring dichotomy between the age of the girls in question and their occupation.

* Naturally sent up in ''ExcelSaga'', which featured a {{bishoujo}} episode in which the art became noticeably more shiny and all of the male regulars except Pedro were deliberately excluded. Pedro's BigNo comes when the male cast finally comes to exact punishment for his appearance -- and we still don't get a good look at any of them.
