Sorry for the late reply; I was at work all day and just got the opportunity to get online.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

And finally, just because you can't think of something that fits a trope doesn't mean it's not a common trope.

I agree with you that my experience is not universal and did not mean to imply that I think it is or should be. However, I watch a looooooooot of television (too much! LOL) and don't really encounter this idea in the TV I watch.

People tend to watch things they like, and so if the blank slate Love Interest character doesn't appeal to you, you likely find yourself forgetting/ignoring media with it.

This is a great point; I may just be naturally self-selecting media that doesn't have this problem (I don't read comics, for example). I suspect that something different is going on, though. I genuinely don't understand most of the time when people explain to me why they consider this female character as merely a love interest, merely a love interest meant pejoratively, of course. I'm about to reply to the person upthread who gave me the Uhura example that I totally don't understand what they're saying at all. I think this is probably just something I don't need to talk about on the internet anymore because I like y'all and my perplexity does not seem to decrease even after explanation.
