The key word you're missing here is "feels". OP said it FEELS like purposefully undermining what ought to be a good heroine. OP isn't saying this is exactly what's happening or making accusations, OP is merely describing what it feels like to them.

Even if we accept that - which I think is a more generous reading than is necessarily justifiable - again, how do you read the beginning sentences? "I just have a hard time believing it's anything but badly done characterization [when authors write a young female character who is a childish brat]". How is that anything other than objecting to certain kinds of flaws as such, not just when they're poorly written?

[(Anonymous)]

Because you're missing the context of the very next sentence, where OP clarifies that they're specifically referring to characters who are supposed to be strong characters, but who are instead written like brats. The strong implication here is that the author is going for "feisty heroine", but falling short and their character comes off as a brat instead.

[(Anonymous)]

At this point, all I can say is that you're sacrificing the meaning of literally every other sentence in the secret on the altar of the one sentence that talks about characters who are supposed to come off one way but don't. I don't think that makes sense.
