Um, LOL at completely missing the point me?

Technically speaking, I have no problems with strong women characters. But what am I trying to say is that I'm sick of having other so-called "feminists" saying that only women who display archetypically mannish behavior are strong, therefore women who don't do so are immediately and automatically "weak" and "horrible". A good example is how, in Bleach fandom, the tomboyish and assertive Rukia Kuchiki is touted by some of her fans as wonderful and ultrafeministic and well-developed... but then these same fangirls turn and bash the hell out of the more traditionally feminine Orihime Inoue purely on the grounds of her being gentle, tender and sensitive.

These fans aren't true feminists. These fans give all feminists in fandom a bad rep. These are the ones that right now make me groan whenever the "strong femenine characters" topic. A good example of these fake feminists (and the reaosn why I used an Integra picture) is here: http://community.livejournal.com/rabidfanssuck/40038.html

Therefore, no, I'm NOT a misogynist. You lose. Sorry? :P

I think a lot of the hate for those types of characters isn't because they're weak - it's because they're used and common. While they're often done well, they're more often rather flat. :/ Once you see the same thing over and over again, you tend to get sick of it, especially if it has gender-sensitive issues attached.
