no subject
There are some things that have been mentioned; agency, actively working to attain the things they want, goals and ambitions other than finding a man to depend on. If a relationship is important, it should be a companionship, not a leader/follower situation. But mostly, I think it can be summarised with two words: character development. For a character to be strong and interesting, it has to go through difficulties and grow.
I also am mainly talking about fandom and not academia,
Though sometimes they are the same thing, and academia sometimes talks about the same things as we do in fandom.
That there are no good female characters in any media is obviously wrong. But I think rational discussion of the failings in characterisation is basically a good thing.
I see a lot of talk about how the total dislike of a character is put all on the creator or writer, and the person can never distinguish that it might be a matter of personal preference.
I think that the personal preference is often based on the mistakes of the creator of the work, and that people are largely unaware of this.
if I think they are poorly written and I don't like the treatment of them in the text, then I tend to walk away very quickly.
I can't take badly written main characters, which, of course, include female characters. I'm more forgiving about side characters, since the focus isn't on them.
There are also degrees; sometimes certain creators makes mistakes with characters that don't affect the whole characterisation. Take Linali Li from D.gray-man, for example. She's a great character, but why did the creator find it necessary to give her a miniskirt, and have her serve the other exorcists of the same rank coffee? Especially since the story mostly takes place in a pseudo early 20th century Britain/Europe. Why was she picked as the character to be rendered helpless and in need of saving for several chapters, while the male characters overcame their difficulties on their own?
She's basically a very good character with whom the creator made some bad choices. I still like her very much, but I'm critical of certain aspects of her. This is much more common than hating a character completely, for me.
