Capcom's "Monster Hunter Wilds" sold 8 million copies within three days of its release, attracting many new players. Following the game's launch, there was a heated discussion on Japanese social media under the hashtag "#モンハン女子", with players expressing that many female players are not the "princess hunters" as rumored, but rather quite professional and passionate hunters. These female hunters work hard to study the game, and some are even capable of fighting independently. Additionally, numerous female VTubers and streamers have shared their achievements, countering the stereotypes about female players. Renowned female manga artist Akiyo Shibata also stated that she is still playing "Monster Hunter" and plans to experience the new title after her signing event.

After the release of Capcom's "Monster Hunter Wilds," which sold 8 million copies in just three days, it attracted some players who had never engaged with the series before. Recently, many players in Japan began discussing the topic of "#モンハン女子" (MH Girls) on X (Twitter). Many pointed out that female players are not merely princess hunters seeking help; in fact, many female hunters are even more professional and passionate than veteran male hunters.

With the launch of "Monster Hunter Wilds," a considerable number of female players have joined the game, but many of them are not true players; rather, they are sharing game footage on their social media for the sake of trending topics and popularity. Initially, many netizens believed these MH girls were just novices who needed others to lead them in hunting. However, many players subsequently shared their experiences, discovering that the vast majority of them are hardcore players who often research the game on their own and can complete challenges independently, even creating their own gear (Cosplay) in real life, which resonated with others.

Many self-identified female hunters in "Monster Hunter Wilds," including female VTubers, streamers, and players, have also expressed their views, sharing screenshots of their platinum trophies and HR levels to prove that not all female hunters are princesses. They pointed out: "I have never seen a princess hunter; they are basically just as crazy as male hunters," "To avoid harassment, many female players do not disclose their gender and play quietly on their own," "As a female hunter, hunting alone brings a significant sense of stress relief," "Regardless of gender, everyone should purely enjoy the fun of hunting." Even a well-known female manga artist participated in the discussion, stating that she is still playing "Monster Hunter Rise" and plans to buy "Monster Hunter Wilds" after the signing event.
