For one, the Nostalgia Chick is not Lindsay Ellis herself; if you look at pretty much every reviewer character on the site, male or female, they're satirically over-the-top and harsh to what they review.

And for another - which I'm sure I'll be crucified for saying - being a feminist doesn't mean you have to unconditionally and unquestioningly love every female character in existence. In fact, unless I'm very much mistaken, Nostalgia Chick usually makes a point to highlight the poor writing choices and/or historical circumstances that led to the creation of characters she has a problem with, which, uh, is pretty much a key point in a lot of feminist literary/film critique.

People keep bringing this up. Did the anon mention anything regarding this?

Re your second paragraph: yeah, but the question is if she's harder on female characters than she is on comparable male ones.

She pretty much hates everyone, especially fanboys and fangirls. Men are horrible and women are usually too weak and ditzy.

People might be bringing this up because the OP sounds like they don't realize the Nostalgia Chick is a deliberately created character with a very specific purpose.

Also, I'm not sure how you'd want to quantify "being harder" on characters based on their gender. The Chick mainly does reviews of girls' shows/movies, which are known for having a higher percentage of prominent female characters, so there's that to consider. I suppose I could add that I've yet to not see her call a spade a spade when there's a guy character involved, but given that "being hard" on someone can be difficult to quantify, you might disagree.

Who says this, honestly? That is bizarre.
