126, 138
138: Usually, it has to do with how most of it seems to come from a double standard in how characters are approached based on gender than treatment of specific female characters.

Re: 126
for her britchesto be edited: http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA458094.html (http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA458094.html)While I enjoyed some of her earlier books (I enjoy a spot of purple prose when in the right mood), I gave up on her stuff in the late 80s because it was already starting to feel far too much like the books desperately needed a serious once over with a red pencil, possibly attached to a chainsaw; I shudder to think how much worse they might have become in the last twenty years.
Re: 126
Re: 126
I personally don't have any interest in her books. That could be because I think she's batshit insane. I also hold little respect for her after the reply she left to negative feedback of one of her books on amazon.
...Actually, I'm beginning to hate SMeyer for the same reasons. Fancy that.
Re: 126
I hate SMeyer for getting her crappy Mary Sue fantasy published... cause I know of many people who wrote better than that when they were teenagers.
Re: 126
Rofl yes, and Breaking Dawn just... wow. WOW.
It's like a bunch of fanfic cliches thrown into one book and some pedophilia to top it all off (though, people would argue that that particular theme has been there since the beginning).
It is very sad. There are so many who are more deserving to be published. Honestly, I have to wodner how this stuff gets published. I knwo the Paolini story, so what's hers? (Admittedly, Twilight wasn't HORRID, but as the series went on just... yeah.)
Re: 126, 138
138: I read the OP as saying that s/he dislikes the large majority of female characters ("on the whole"). While the sexism amongst the creators, producers and distributors of various forms of media could well cause one to dislike female characters at a greater rate than male characters, after a certain point you have to wonder if maybe it's sexism on the part of the reader/viewer.
Re: 126, 138
138: Kind of my point. Most criticism of female characters that I've encountered (where the dislike is actually explained, not the generic "she sucks") has made it clear that part of the problem is that they are female, and the same standards aren't applied to male characters, who are given much more leeway. When most people complain about the treatment of female characters (what the OP is complaining about) it isn't "how dare you not like the female character I like!" but a reaction to the double standard.
