" It's up to the person writing the story how they chose to tell it".

I hate this argument. By this logic ANY female character written by a man should not be praised for whatever feminist reason or another. That praise should go to male writers.

I'm not sure how that follows, and it seems to me you might be conflating different ways of talking about characters

Like, you can still talk about the Jennifer Lawrence character *as a character* but you do have to keep in mind that she's a fictional construct. and that's a really significant distinction when you're talking about something like the choices the character makes. Which is one of the reasons that I think OP is wrong - it's hard to say whether the choice the character made in real life would be right or wrong, but that's not really the right question to ask, because we're discussing a fictional narrative.

I'm not sure what that has to do with calling characters feminists. Like... I'm honestly kind of confused on what you even mean when you talk about praising female characters for feminist reasons as distinct from praising their creators. Would you mind elaborating?

yes? if a man writes a female character in a genuinely feminist way (instead of ~sexy empowerment~ that's actually fanservice) then they should get the kudos for that? It doesn't make the characters less cool from an in-universe perspective but they still aren't real?

I'm shocked that this such a foreign concept...
