Wow, not just a little defensive there, are we?
Have you considered - and you might want to be sitting down for this - taking the effort to write these otherwise shallow characters with depth and variety is a much more positive and much more feminist act than just throwing up your hands and going, "It's too hard so I shan't bother!"
Excising female characters and saying that's less sexist makes about as much sense as excising POC and saying that's less racist. It's not! You're just sweeping the problem under the carpet, where it will rot and stink up the place.

NAYRT

Not everyone writes fanfic though...?
Some people enjoy fandom in other ways?

As someone who pretty much only enjoys anime and the such, well I can see where OP might come from. It's ... something I am guilty of doing somewhat unconsciously - enjoy sausagefest shows if only because then I don't have the displeasure of running into badly depicted women. Which are, well, pretty much all females in popular anime IMHO lol. But josei on the other hand tends to have a lot of well-written women so I enjoy (the few I watched). If anything, it's misandry on my part (as in "it's ok to read badly-written males but not women!") than the other way around.

It's not their job to "fix" mainstream media. They are not harming anyone by liking whatever fictional characters they please, and leaving it at that.

Acting like women are obligated to like X type of character or Z type of story line "in the name of feminism" is such bogus.
