IIRC Kubo admitted that he wrote himself in a corner when it came to Orihime and her powers. And she hasn't really been an sobbing mess since that arc. Ineffectual sure, but not really a sobbing mess. Unless that's changed since I dropped the manga after the Xcution arc.

Hasn't Kubo wrote himself into a corner as it pertains to just about everything? Yet Ichigo is on his 85th power-up and Orihime's doing... I don't know who cares.

I just don't know what to make of this new fandom trend of celebrating any and all female characters even the shittily written ones. What does it do? Who does it help? I think to really send a message of wanting better female characters you should stick to championing the well-written ones. I get that there's sometimes a fine line between criticizing a writer for saddling a female character with stereotypical flaws (cries too much, too sensitive, physically weak, whiny) and bashing a female character for having the audacity to be female, but dumping praise all over spottily-written-girl-in-a-shounen-manga-du-jour isn't a good solution.

Are you talking about in general or what? I legitimately like Orihime as a character and yes, she has been written terribly at times and I will gladly admit that. It doesn't stop me from liking her as a character.

...yeah, in general.

Alright then.

I apologize for my kind of kneejerk reaction. And yeah, I can see your point. I've not really come across it that often though so I can't really comment on it.

I have no idea what the Bleach fandom is like these days but go to the Naruto fandom on Tumblr and marvel at the pages and pages of fanart pretending the women in that manga are totally Strong Independent Women Who Don't Need No Man instead of sloppily-written afterthoughts in Kishimoto's Naruto/Sasuke yaoi fanfic. It's... really something.
