This love > hate shit is so short-sighted.

Love can also make you blind.

Usually this 'i love all female' stuff is some misplaced sense of girl power. There are some really shitty female characters that deserve criticism, and I don't think it is honorable to love them just because they are female. You need a better reason than that, otherwise it's ignorance.

That's how racism starts too. "I love white people, everyone else who is not white is not worthy of this unconditional love"

And once again, I'm not disagreeing with that. I never said we should love all female characters simply because they're female. I do not love or even like every single female character I've ever come across. There are plenty I had no interest in either way and several I have actively disliked. For the female characters I do love, I don't love them BECAUSE they're female. I will admit to having a bias toward female characters because I relate to them more often than to male characters and I cut them more slack than their male counterparts for a lot of reasons. All of this makes it easier for me to love and embrace female characters, but it does not mean I judge them solely on their gender.


My only point in the love > hate argument is that if we have to see an extreme view on the subject, I find it a nice change of pace that it's not the hatred we're so used to seeing. This does not mean I agree with the content of the secret or share the viewpoint of the secret-maker.
