Re: tokenism versus diversity

This is also why every "Chick" in a band of Everyone Else is Male, no matter how awesome or unstereotypical she is, is going to be a token. She can only represent the type of girl she is, and there's an implication that she's supposed to represent all girls.

*generally speaking. Obviously not 100% of the time and rare exceptions exist.

Bob's the nice one! Bill's the nerd! Joe's the punk! Chad's the jock! Jenny's the... girl.

And this is why so many women hate so many female characters, but no, let's blame "internalized misogyny."

Re: tokenism versus diversity

I don't think that's always why, though

DA

I agree it's not always why but I do think a lot of what is labeled internalized misogyny can be caused by characters like this. There are female characters I love but it took longer for me to find them than it should have because so many of the one or two slots reserved for "the Girl" in so many series used the same damn tropes and there were no slots left for any other women than the most common popular tropey types.

Are you talking about real people and not characters? Because if so, this is nonsense. Artists represent themselves and their work, not demographics.

Re: tokenism versus diversity

They're talking about characters in tropaic language, I'm pretty sure.

Re: tokenism versus diversity

What on earth makes you think this is talking about real people? Do you apply "tropes" to real people?
