26. Okay, I probably shouldn't write this rant as I am rather exhausted right now and probably can't spell (and I'll admit that perhaps I'm misinterpreting what you meant to say) but...

I AM SO SICK OF STEREOTYPES.

And most of all? I'm sick of fans putting female characters into the "OMG KICK ASS" type or the "sweet submissive girl with no backbone but awww cute" type, and then debating on which one to hate more and which type is "likeable" vs. "not likable". What the hell is with the polarization, people?

I think if you honestly, HONESTLY, thought about it, there's usually more to female characterization than that. Why not overlook a stupid fan-created stereotype and... I don't know? Judge each character for who she is and how well she's developed in canon? Even if she's sweet? Even if she's an ass-whooping bitch? Or *gasp* something in-between?

And OP? I can't for the LIFE of me understand why you would choose to put Asuka Langley in the same basket as Winry Rockbell. How on earth do they fit the same cliche when they are about as different as night and day? They have none of the same motives or personality.

Although, to be fair, I'm equally getting sick of people sticking all "submissive" (for lack of a better term) females into the same boat. Like Hinata Hyuga and Orihime Inoue and Rei Ayunami are not alike. AT ALL.

Sometimes I feel like the only person in fandom who can appreciate the (fan-labeled) "whoop-ass" girls alongside the "sweet" ones.

WTF fandom???

Especially since I'm pretty sure Asuka is an intentional parody of the stereotype at many junctions. :P

But yes, I'll prepare you a word sandwhich fixed with a dash of awesome!mustard and winpickles.
