SA

And that's the most benign mindset actually. There's people who will say it wasn't good enough because of ingrained sexist/racist mindsets (as in, no story featuring women or people of color will ever be good enough to them) and sometimes it gets really hard to tell the different between a well-meaning critique and one that comes from a darker place, because at the end of the day, you're shitting on the positivity the fans have derived from the story.

Yeah, those are probably the same folks that complain that there are "no well-written female characters". They just set the bar impossibly high.

sort of like that ridiculous flowchart I see floating around Tumblr sometimes, where it tries to quatify what makes a "strong" female character. The problem was the flow chart was literally so complex, and set the bar so damn high that basically no female character would ever pass the test (according to the chart basically any female character that fits a trope is automatically disqualified). The standards were so damn high, I doubt even any male characters could have passed it.
