I literally don't get why this is hard for you? Don't you guys go on and on about character traits you're sick of in male characters but when it's a female character, it's refreshing and new? Isn't that why so many people love Ripley? It's the same idea but switch the genders and stereotypes.

NAYRT but the stereotypically male characteristics given to female characters are usually “kick ass, take names,” competent, calm under pressure, stuff like that. The supposedly female traits given to men are all too often stuff like weak, submissive, indecisive, naive, bratty... Basically the only positive female traits I’ve seen given to men are nuturung and empathetic and those are frequently just additions to mpreg.

Women are often given men’s positive traits. Men are given a caricature woman’s worst traits.

More like they're (those girly-looking ukes lmao) made out to be wimpy and cry over their love for the guy (tm) so they're given the traits of... precisely that thing we hate and consciously avoid: badly-written female characters.
As I'm a BL fan myself. But I just can't seem to stand mainstream works for many reasons, and this is one of those reasons.
