AYRT

Someone who wanted to say "you are wrong" would do well to point to evidence keyed to the actual claim being made. The thing being discussed wasn't "no good female characterizations," it was more like, "no women in media that I want to write or ship." For years, fandom has doubled down on the assumption that if you feel this way, you're either defective or closed-minded, without giving serious consideration to the fact that it could also be a problem with the writing.

It's also possible that people who want stuff they aren't getting out of most media are having a hard enough time locating it that they've given up on "watching American shows" in their free time. And therefore are more likely to run into it elsewhere, if they run into it at all.

As the person of controversy in this thread:

You have explained it exactly. I never thought that anyone would think that someone saying "There aren't any female characterizations that I want to read about or ship; I find them lacking for this reason" was the same as "All female characters suck". Like, honestly. No one has seen EVERY show that has even ONE female character. Ain't nobody got time for that.

You are also correct that I have basically given up American media. I find much better character writing elsewhere.

Also, for the record: I am not secret!OP.
