overhated female characters mean the world to me and i will protect them with my life because fandoms have no right to judge them for acting like someone who went through unimaginable trauma and call them annoying for their understandable behavior.

I cannot take that message from Shadow and Bone trilogy "All power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" seriously for three reasons:
It's used to demean and shame having any kind of power, no matter how well it's used. And it's directed to an oppressed minority. Basically, the message is that it's better to sit around and do nothing rather than take matters into your own hands and fight back for liberation of your people, even if it risks your own corruption.
The author later somewhat realizes her mistake and goes back on her words. But her favoritism is clear and while one character is shamed and punished for reaching for "too much power", the other is rewarded for it.
Everytime I read that quote, I remember this absolute gem of a scene from Roger Zelazny's The Chronicles of Amber novel series. The proof that adult/high fantasy does it better than YA (not always though):
Flora pursed her lips and let go of us: "Now you see what absolute monarchy is. This is how power corrupts, debauches a man."
"I was debauched and corrupted long before I had power" - Random responded cooly. "You can leave us now, sister."

If i had a nickel for every show starring a character(s) of colour who were powerful, badass and well written; but are constantly shit on to prop up the white "morally grey" characters who have rushed and/or contradictory development up to and including their ships; I'd have three nickels.
That's it. That's the joke. No "which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened thrice". Cause when it happens that many times, it stops being surprising.
It happened with Scott McCall, it happened with Daisy Johnson, why wouldn't it happen with Alina Starkov and Mal Oretsev?
