There is SUCH a huge difference between "these characters didn't work for me and here's why" and the bullshit "there are no well-written female characters"

Hell, I've had those conversations too! "I'm not attracted to female characters so I don't spend time on them in fandom" cool, I totally get that! You do you!
"I haven't found characters I like in the genres I prefer" unfortunate, do you want recommendations?
"I don't like feeling like I have to relate to female characters as a female person, so I prefer male characters" fair and valid, shit can be exhausting.
"The patriarchy perpetuates both writing and analysis that centers men more and it's /harder/ to find well-written female characters" very true!! that should change!

It is, specifically, the claim that All Female Characters Are Badly Written that just. Sucks. And I see it, stated specifically like that, so many times and yeah, it pisses me the fuck off, especially when the male characters who are badly written don't get ignored the same way, so it's not JUST that even if it WAS true.

Oh. As I said to the anon I responded to, below, I don't think all female characters are badly written. Not remotely. They're just often missing a resonance that I want them to have.

I guess we were speaking past each other, without meaning to.

Cool. I'm reacting against objective statements, not subjective ones.
