So? The secret op wasn't talking about disliking all or most female characters. They were saying that not loving every female character is not the same thing as hating characters just because they're female, and that some people act like they don't realize that.

And I agree with the secret op on this complaint. When you say you dislike a female character, regardless of who the character is or why you dislike them, people tend to automatically jump on the assumption "you hate her because she's female! you're a mysogynist!"

Treating female characters like they can't possibly be hated or have bad character traits or simply be unlikable simply because they're female is just the flip side of the coin as treating female characters like they're ALWAYS hatable and unlikable simply because they're female.

This, man. Seriously. A couple days ago everyone was jumping down my throat because omg, I don't like Ginny from Harry Potter? MISOGYNIST. Despite the fact that I had a valid reason and explained that I set the same standards for both males and females, OMG MISOGYNIST. YOU DISLIKE EVEN A SINGLE FEMALE CHARACTER, SO THEREFORE YOU MUST DISLIKE ALL OF THEM.

I wish I knew who the secret op was, I'd send them some money. XP

Weren't you the one who was like "I hate Ginny because she's a slut?" Haha, yeah, that's a totally valid reason!

Yep, that's me. Damn, what the shit was I thinking! Hating a character for having a negative personality trait and a shit personality in general? What misogyny!

Dating three guys before getting married to a fourth is a negative personality trait?

Considering it was in the span of like a year and a half, I'd say yes. Not that I expect everyone to have the same high expectations for things that I do, but for some reason no one seems to be able to handle that I don't expect them to have the same opinions or standards, even though I should apparently just have the same as them. At any rate, coupled with the fact that she turns into a total Sue, I think she's a bad character.

A girl having relationships, dating some friends and having fun instead of sitting at home and defending her innocence?

WHAT A WHORE

hint: your pretense at "high standards" just shows how broken you are

There's nothing wrong with having fun, but really, is there any reason to hop between guys? As I explained before, it's not even that she dated a bunch of dudes, it's that she leapt immediately from one to the other, virtually no break in between. If she can get over somebody that fast, I'd barely say that's a relationship.

You're right, I'm totally broken, because I hate one female character. Never mind that there are plenty of others I enjoy, because I hate THIS one, I'm a misogynist. Excellent reasoning.

Oh, okay, so you just hate her because she marries Harry.

I don't care that she marries Harry exactly, since I don't care that much about Harry either, it's the fact that suddenly she's great at Quidditch, she's great at casting spells, she's incredibly "funny", she's a popular girl, everybody wants her nuts, after Hogwarts she joined the female-only Quidditch league... apparently the odds of being awesome at EVERYTHING are really high.

Except she wasn't completely awesome at everything and never stole the spotlight from anybody, meaning she wasn't really a Sue at all, but okay. She was good at quidditch and hexing people - and she's been good at Quidditch since the first time we saw her playing. And then in addition to being an athletic and social girl, she's popular!? Well that's just fucking unrealistic!

I gotta agree. There's a big difference between hating certain characters who are female and hating certain characters *becasue* they are female. I wish more people would figure that out.

Of course, but there's also a big difference between hating a character for valid reasons and hating a character for sexist tropes that have been culturally ingrained as reasons to hate women that don't really stand up to scrutiny.
