Hating how a female character was treated in the writing is not the same thing as hating a female character. There are lots of female characters that I like just fine as characters, what I hate is how the writing reduced them to nothing but The Love Interest or sidelined their character arc in favor of a male character.

It drives me crazy how many people can't seem to tell the difference between the two things.

[(Anonymous)]

100% agree, and when people who actually love and enjoy female characters complain about that trend, I join right in.

It's just that, generally speaking, most of the people who whine about 'bad writing' for female characters are doing it as a three-word footnote to their fifteenth epic-length post of the day drooling over the exact same male characters who turned them into a love interest in the first place.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. I don't think I'm with it enough right now to write this coherently, but I'm going to try. Critiquing a female character is not always misogyny. With fiction, you can ask for the WHY behind things. Like WHY is a character written this way? WHY does she behave like this? WHY was she made to be a cardboard cutout love interest for a male main character? WHY doesn't she have any aspirations or ambitions beyond that?

[(Anonymous)]

It makes me so mad when I see a character with so much potential but they reduce her to what feels like a side character even if she's part of the main cast.

[(Anonymous)]

Amen! There are female characters I might not *care* about because they were *never* written well, but there are also female characters I love despite the bad writing-- either because they're the combined product of an actress and a writers' room and multiple directors and so for everyone who fumbles the ball there's someone else bringing them to life, or just because they started out promising before the writer fucked it up.

There are also female characters I don't like at all but can appreciate when they're written well vs when the ball is being dropped, and of course the female characters I hate *because* they're written well and I WANT those well-rounded and detestable-on-their-own-merits female villains... but the same incapable-of-nuance crowd gets upset if you say you hate a female villain whose role is to be hated because that must be *misogyny* and not... a sign that the story is effective? Like, maybe I don't WANT to say 'yass queen, I support women's wrongs' every time there's a female villain, it feels so performative and condescending.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I definitely agree.

One example of this for me is Misa in Death Note. A lot of people seem to hate her, but I always found her character poorly written. I don't hate Misa as a character. I hate that Misa is a poorly written character. There isn't enough there for Misa to be a fully formed character so IDEK enough about her to hate her. I do hate how she seems to only exist to help the plot stretch on Light's deceit.

Because of my experiences, I get wary when I hear or see someone say they exclusively/only read nonfiction because I mentally associate it with my ex. My ex was one of the most pretentious people I've ever met. He read exclusively nonfiction (and refused to read anything else), and he belittled me because I read fiction (I also read nonfiction too) and would call me a childish loser for wanting to read about made-up worlds/people. There's a reason an ex.

[(Anonymous)]

...does this really count as fandom?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry you had the misfortune of dating someone like that, OP. I have met a handful of them, and they are always so insufferable. Why waste time on fake stuff, it's a waste of time, are you a little kid or a baby. Oh, I don't know, maybe I "waste time" on it because I FIND IT ENJOYABLE???

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry you dated such an asshole OP. That guy didn't deserve you.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm always leery of those kinds of people too. They're usually the most pretentious. Glad you got away from yours.

[(Anonymous)]

I just find people who think like this are boring as shit and insufferable. I'm lucky I encountered only a couple of them IRL.
Not reading fictional books because you have aphantasia or/and you have no time and toher interests? SURE, OK. Not a problem. Everyone has their preferences and schedules. Not reading fictional books because you find them childish? WELL. You better never watch a movie or go to the theatre or even enjoy music who tell a story because guess what it's all made up. And the philosophy/history factoids guys like that (because it's usually men) spew out is all based on myths or parables and guess what it's all made up stories, too.
Human culture is based on fictional stories...

The comments about Kennedy leaving don't exactly surprise me, but they are still making me rage. Especially the "ding, dong, the witch is dead" ones. For crying out loud, even if you hate everything but the OT, Kennedy still isn't the cause of everything you think is wrong with newer Star Wars. The way people blame her and talk about her is sexist and gross.

Oh God. Call The Midwife just caught up with Monty Python. They were talking, without irony, about The Machine Which Goes Ping being introduced to the delivery suite. I suddenly cannot take this episode, about the very serious issue of premie babies seriously now.

I feel bad for being disappointed at seeing certain actresses get cosmetic work on their faces. It feels hypocritical of my belief of "let women do whatever they want to their bodies".

It's weird because Kylie Jenner, Glorilla and Millie Bobbi Brown are on my "Leave her alone!" list where I feel defensive of people judging their looks regardless of how I feel about them as celebrities.
But Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, Taylor Swift and Anne Hatheway's face changes made me feel disappointed regardless of how I feel about them as celebrities.

I liked the "bad" Godzilla movies. I want some more cheap and goofy Godzilla movies, just occasionally, please.

Cardan having a tail actually made him far more attractive to me. I find him attractive because of the tail, not in spite of it. I wanna stroke and lick it. I wish the books had more tail action. Dat tail.
SB: because most people in the TCP fandom seem to find it creepy/furry/ bestiality adjacent
