"I think it's mostly women who are the most critical of female characters."

This is so true. The women I've seen be the loudest about bashing female characters they don't like are the ones who are also the loudest about how feminist they are for doing so.

Perhaps because men are perfectly happy to have women in eye-candy, objectifying, useless positions?

That's like saying portrayals of black or Asian or whatever characters are fine, because really it's only those minorities claiming that it's racist. All the white people think it's fine, therefore, not a problem.

Doesn't that assume that men aren't interested in real discussion about the media they consume? That men can't be engaged and thoughtful viewers and a pair of breasts is enough to distract them from thinking forever? There are a lot of male English teachers and professors in the world, as well as men who enjoy cultural studies.

And "all the white people?" I think minorities should have more representation in media and I'm white. So by your logic am I truly not white or are there white individuals who recognize that representation is important?

Yep, yep. Most people who claim the term feminist now can't just take female characters in characters' terms and context. She needs to fit into their box of what a "strong" female character is, otherwise she's the worst character to ever exist. Heaven forbid that there's more than one way to be a strong woman in fiction or in real life for them.
