'I seen lots of women arguing for more female characters in anything. Yet when they're given an opportunity like Noir it's suddenly overlooked.'

I agree. I feel this is definitely proven with Adventure Time and Homestuck.

In Adventure Time, genderbent Marceline/Princess Bubblegum has a ridiculous amount of attention considering the fact the subtext is when they're female.

In Homestuck, the females are generally more interesting (imo), but bare minimum they're on the same footing as the guys. M/m still reigns supreme.
