can't we just be glad there is a woman in the story at all

Oh thank you, thank you, kind writer, for including a female character! We thank thee on bended knee for remembering there are two genders!

The Gor novels had tons of women in them. If I said "thanks" for each one of them, that'd be my whole day shot to hell.

Yeah, I was surprised no one else brought up this.

What, women are just supposed to be happy with scraps? I wonder what you feel about extremely underrepresented groups having criticisms.

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you for saying that.
I used to be in Transformers fandom (a place filled with a special brand of misogyny since "robots don't need more than one gender: they're ROBOTS").

A lot of fans, even a lot of female ones, want the female-coded characters to stop existing. They're even popular authors who have managed to make their no-females-allowed canons extremely popular and beloved, since it's "so logical to have no female-coded robots".

But the funny thing was/is: whenever there /was/ a female-coded robot (not all canons lack fembots) she was/is criticized into the ground.
"She is too sexy, she is a mary sue, she is too femme, she is too smart, she is too cool, she is too good, she is too bad,she is too strong, bla BLA B L A" while completely one-dimensional male-coded characters were clebrated and loved just because they were "sexy" or "fuelling my fetish for XY so harrrd".

So whenever I brought this hypocricy up I was accused of "sexism" (lol) or people told me I should be thankful that some canons even /had/ a token female and stop "bitching" since female robots were "illogical" anyways ;)

It's not a surprise I quit fandom and went back to enjoying my robots for myself again.
