i can definitely see this side of the argument. it's true that female characters practically need to shit pure awesomeness or something for fandom to even register their existence, and that can be very tiring.
but yeah, the argument that female characters aren't given enough importance by canon to begin with is a very valid and important one.
this is basically a chicken or egg problem. does fandom ignore female characters because they're badly written or are female characters badly written because the audience doesn't seem to give a shit anyway?

Yeah, exactly. Also, I think a lot of showrunners know it's "safer" to have a male protagonist over a female one. Its been proven time and time again that women will watch things with male protagonists, yet they seem to fear that men will shy away from female protagonists.

I don't think fandom will ever care about female characters as much as male characters, but I think better representation and more female protagonists and focus on female-female relationships like we've seen in recent years will help to minimize that gap a bit more.
