12. I'm opening myself for idiot wankery, but I actually quite agree with this. I've always had a thing against the KIND, HAPPY, HELPLESS, and MASTER COOK (latter not applying too much to Nia) because I like to see girls who can do things, girls who aren't the dream housewives-to-be, girls who aren't just simple feminine and motherly girls. I like explosive personalities, independence, and snark. I don't know what to feel when I see tons of shy girls who want to learn how to cook well for the guy she likes.
What can I say, they're just a pet peeve for me. I got sick of them over time... Maybe it's because in the environment I'm in, I rarely see such people and can't see them as anything but flat. Honestly though, I think I have more of a problem with how the writer uses such characters than the character themself.
Because there are some characters that develop and escape the archtype. Like Orihime, Hinata, etc etc etc. Can't say too much on Nia, I'm partial to her. I love it when they become a bit more human (lack of a better term) and become, not the perfect housewife, but a good-natured individual. However, if they stick with it forever and ever and ever, never going outside of that spectrum and is still being/aiming for Yamato Nadeshiko (or however it was spelled), I'll get outright annoyed, especially when 99.9% of the time they end up with the guy/GET CAPTURED LIKE OMG.
I even think I act this way towards them because they seem like some holy embodiment of what a girl should be like in order to get a guy; AND THAT SUCKS BECAUSE I'M NOT TOO INTO FEMALE EMPOWERMENTtl;dr version: I agree with this secret, especially if they stay in that archtype FOREVER.
33. There are times when it works. There are times when it doesn't.
Why do I feel like giving up on the GL fandom lol.
