Got excited and should show my work LOL I need to make it clear that is is 100% confirmed that Araki made Stone Ocean and Jolyne due to SJ editorial pushback, a clear example of institutional sexism, and his response was to write the "Toughgirl beats the shit out of Destiny" Bible

Its not perfect, and I dont like how it seems like he regressed after Part 6(even tho I like basically every Post 6 female character, its complicated) but to me its always felt like Stone Ocean was an honest attempt to educate to his editors and more importantly the SJ audience that women are people

in War Devil's thread. There is a persistent sense of inevitability to the plot, that the world will end no matter what anyone does, and the majority of people understand that but are just trying to not think about it and turning a blind eye. Or they are trying to do something but no matter what it

where a female protagonist is trapped by the narrative and causality into exploring un-Jump-like stories about societal structures, audience bias, and hero worship of traditionally male archetypes, and the anxiety of how to make a better world when everything is just a reaction to what came before?

Lastly, although Jolyne dies in the fight against Pucci, he is ultimately defeated by the new narrative created by her and her friends, which creates a new universe where Jolyne is now named Irene, which is popularly thought of to show she no longer carries the narrative weight of being a JoJo.

As the part goes on, as it goes into its bigger ideas on Gravity, one of the main themes of the part takes shape: "Invisible Power Structures that control and define peoples lives". Gravity as a representation of fate is a main one, Gravity is a force that binds the universe but we still are able to

The same way he taught the children to not think of strength in purely physical means in part 1, he would push back against that women cannot be tough as nails, fight against the odds, do what it takes heros. Jolyne in Part 6 is opposed by patriarchal power structures meant to oppress and contain

a bit of a catchphrase for him. Jotaro is also the idealized hero archetype as well, the stoic, strong, determined type, whos is also meant to closer relate to his target audience, being the first Japanese JoJo of the story.

to advocate to his readers and editors for why she is both scary and important I think is telling for how things would later develop.
