I agree with you and the replies are proving your point. Women are well aware that misogyny is all around and seeps into good writing too, but only up until the point where they want to discredit fans who don't like their fave fictional girls. Even well-written female characters get sexist treatment by the writing, that usually affects their characterization more and more the longer a series runs. If semicanon het ships had actual chemistry and the female characters in them weren't reduced of everything I love about them every time they start to have feelings for the male protag (looking at you especially, Magi) I'd be a lot more interested in them.

Just damn, I boggle at these replies the more I read them. "Professional male writers writing for a mainstream male audience are less sexist than actual real women not liking the way the fake women created by those men are written" is sure a hell of a bold take, I'll hand y'all that.

It's a self-serving cycle.

The writers don't do a good job (and in some shonen and other male-dominated media, it's especially egregious) and then the fandom focuses only on the "good" parts, so there's no reason for the media to improve.

(Nevermind that the fan pattern continues even when the male characters are badly written too)

At what point CAN fans start taking personal responsibility for their content instead of blaming The Bad Writers every time?
