I know it's a comedy so it's doesn't matter but I find it odd that in Dragon Maid Shouta's dad is a former resident of the magical world who isn't the least bit afraid of dragons despite knowing that a single adult dragon could probably eradiate the human race alone if they wanted, and it's shown other people from the magical world (who are well versed in their strength) are terrified of dragons as a result.

TIL: Rider of Black is actually a guy. I had seen some of the merch, which was literally all I knew about the character. However, today I was trying to look up something related to another servant where I didn't know the name (it was Francis Drake), but I assumed they were likely a Rider-class servant from the pirate get-up and, while I was in that section, I noticed that there are only three Rider-class servants listed (which is fucking weird). And then I clicked Rider of Black's section to see what their deal was and... yeah, wtf?

Of course, the whole Francis Drake thing was equally wtf, considering that a real historical figure who was a guy somehow got gender-swapped (and there's apparently a section about them doing shit like that, which is just silly because there *were* female pirates/privateers, and they could have just used any of them).

Oh, Fate series, you so crazy...

I've only watched F/SN so far. At some point I need to check out some of the others. (And I tried FGO, but wasn't really interested.)

Yeah, Rider of Black, or Astolfo, is possibly the most famous and most popular trap character in anime.

Since the original game already did it with Saber gender swapping characters from their source material is a thing that happens to various characters, and it's not limited to males changing to female, although that happens far more then the other way around.

And there are female pirate servants in Fate that were originally female to begin with, it's just that Drake isn't one of them.

FYI while I'm not trying to push you to play it, the story in FGO starts out really mediocre to plain bad, the main story doesn't actually get good until Chapter 6(?) Camelot, when the developers decided the game was making money and they were actually going to put more effort into the writing, of course, if you don't enjoy visual novels or fantasy sci-fi, you probably won't like it no matter what.
