THIS. I'm so sick of there having to be some attribute people can pick out and call "kick-ass" in some way in order for a female character to be worth screen time. Meanwhile if you do have that scared, pathetic character? Instead of investing time into appreciating all the ways a person can be flawed and still be a person worthy of attention and compassion, you usually get tumblr rants about what terrible misogynists the writers are for viewing women like that.

THIS. I say this all the time and I'm so glad to see someone else agreeing with me. It sickens me that violence and dominance (what 'kick-ass' or 'badass' usually implies) seem to determine the worth of a female character.

(This is why, in some ways, I find Fluttershy to be a nigh-revolutionary character -- she's openly acknowledged to be shy, fragile, and cowardly, and yet she's still acknowledged as a worthy and valued character. You hardly see this in any other media: most female characters with any sort of fragility or gentleness are decried as 'weak' or 'useless').

Rarity, too. I really think that when it comes to diverse female characters, the MLP character have a lot to teach to the creators of TV shows and movies.
