Well, that wasn't a particularly polite way to put it, but you're correct. A lot of readers don't (or can't) get that analytical about what they read. They can't detect poor quality writing, so they have trouble understanding what other people are objecting to.

[(Anonymous)]

"Sorry you can't empathize with flawed characters" is not a particularly polite comment, and "I'm damned if I can see another way of interpreting it" is just obtuse.

OTOH, it's probably true that you can get so caught up in what you're told about a character that you discount your own observations of their actual described behavior.

[(Anonymous)]

Fair point, it was an obtuse (and rather snide) remark for them to make. But like I said, not everyone is capable of (or wants to do) that level of critical thinking.

[(Anonymous)]

If OP was complaining about poor writing, why do they say that it feels like authors are purposefully undermining what should be good heroines? Are we to suppose that the quality of the writing is intentionally poor?

[(Anonymous)]

Because knowing and feeling are two different things? When my friend doesn't reply to my e-mail for two weeks, I know it's probably because she's busy or something unexpected came. But at the same time, it might feel like she's avoiding me. Feelings aren't always rational or logical.
