artemis10002000: Don't drink water... fish have sex in it (skywarp)

I'm sorry to hear about the female lead! That must be so frustrating for the fans!

You're lucky that your fandoms have well-portrayed characters - or is this one of your criteria for choosing your fandoms? When I mentally run through the fandoms I've been interested in these last few years, it seems to me like there have been more with interesting female characters than before. I don't know if it's a subconscious preference or coincidence, though.

What I find even more disappointing than female characters being mere eye candy or the hero's conquest, though, is when well-developed female characters are reduced to this. I feel cheated by the writers then. It sometimes makes me wish a ship won't become canon/glad they didn't become canon, even though I'm a shipper myself.

You know, that's an interesting question. I never thought of it that way. I admit getting into Legend of the Seeker b/c it was recced to me by a friend, who spoke very highly of the show's female characters. And if I find out a show is centered around a female protagonist (Buffy, Alias, Nikita, etc.) it'll be an incentive to watch it. But others, I just lucked out on, I suppose.

lkajdf;kdlsaflds SO MUCH WORD OMG. And I hate that this always seems to be associated with shipping... it's like writers don't know how to write an otherwise strong female character in a relationship without her reverting back to this kind of role. So frustrating.

*nods* Oh yes, very frustrating! It's like many screenwriters are incapable to fathom that a woman can be in love without her life revolving solely around her man and relationship.
