Yeah. Personally, I just want more female characters. I feel like with male characters, people care much less if someone is poorly characterised / not 'strong enough' (ugh) / not this or that, because there's always some other male character to latch onto. But meanwhile female characters are held up to this annoyingly high level of scrutiny, and they have better be always perfect, which is limiting (and discouraging, I guess). So I just want more characters, because I guess it'll improve the chances of there being a strong character in there - and because I want it to be also okay for a female character to be fallible or even a bit shit and for it to be perfectly normal and not the proof that everything is wrong with women today.

And when they are practically perfect in every way, fandom screams about Mary Sues for days on end. It's a double edged knife and a lot of things about the way fandom operates would have to change to see any major difference in behavior.

I want more variety too. When there's a token lady character, or so few in a cast, of course it magnifies the criticism. I would actually buy the whole "I don't hate this woman character because they're a woman, I hate them because they suuuuck" if there were more in general. Depends on the title of course, because not all things lack in female characters, but yeah.
