Finduilas of Dol Amroth for the ask meme?

Finduilas of Dol Amroth: no dialogue? no problem!; the popular fanon is 100% wrong; it feels like I see them differently than everyone else

The thing about her is, there seems to be this urge to retroactively girlbossify her, which I'm always opposed to anyway (because I'm a Professional Woman and having femininity forced on me is an utterly hellish experience and also 'girlboss' seems to be synonymous with 'upholding the regime' and so on and - anyway. I'm getting off-topic.)

My point is, the thing about Finduilas of Dol Amroth in fan perception is that she textually had a serious chronic illness and people seem to not know how to deal with that, or quite possibly the fanon isn't wrong at all and I'm just misinterpreting because I'm very touchy about that sort of thing, but I see a whiff of girlbossification and the possible suggestion that it's somehow a negative sexist character trait to be, you know, sick, which. Yeah.
