Re: terry pratchett misogyny

I disagree. Firstly, he writes women on a wide spectrum of attractiveness, and the 'prettier' ones are not glorified or treated better. And I find them to be just as roundly developed as the, what, less beautiful ones. I mean, look at Angua. She's beautiful, but she's not described in terms anymore glowing than Carrot, she has a complicated back story and personality, and I always thought she was one of the more fleshed out characters in the Watch books. Adora Belle is defined by her prickliness and her care for the Golems, not her looks. And etc etc etc.

I'd like to hear who has beauty as 'the only significant aspect to their character' because I have never, ever seen that to be the case.

The Christine-analogue from Maskerade. (Was her name Christine in that book, too? Don't have it handy to double-check.) Only one I can think of offhand, and she's more a plot device/direct parody than a character.

DA

Wasn't the shallowness of Christine's character the whole point?

Re: terry pratchett misogyny

Pretty much.

AYRT

Yes, which is why I highlighted that it was a direct parody. The heart of the book is "The Phantom of the Opera really falls apart if you look at it too closely," and thus everyone from the original story had to be either dim or so caught up in the theater that they'd lost their minds.

Yes. This.
