Lmao man, so true about antis. They complain about how unpopular female characters are, but they themselves don't seem to like any of them! They're the ones creating the "anti-female character" blogs, writing long screeds about how problematic this-and-that woman is, how this-and-that woman should stop oppressing and APOLOGIZE to this-and-that man (for such sins as, say, getting upset when he betrays her. "She should be more understanding, the selfish, ungrateful cunt"), how such-and-such film/show would be soooo much better if it were just all the male characters and those terrible women with their stupid subplots were gone...

It's plausible deniability, is what it is. "If I declare that fandom is sexist, then no one can call me sexist!"

God, THIS. I've seen people rant about how there are no good female characters in fiction and then they proceeded to trash and tear down every single female character they encountered because she wasn't unproblematic enough for them? Because god forbid that a female character have any sort of flaws, especially not the exact same sort of flaws that they turn a blind eye to when they're in a male character!

I think there are plenty of good female characters, but I tend not to feel fannish about them.

But I'm going to guess you're probably not spending lots of time writing about how much you hate them, either.

This reminds me of something really interesting in a couple fandoms of mine.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Has lots of female characters with their own stories and development independent of male characters, yet fans will whine about how Araki "cant write female characters without sexualizing them"

Trigun: Has two main female characters who don't really serve much of a purpose to the story, but the fandom will endlessly gush about them and talk about how they desperately want to see more content of them.
