EXACTLY

I think that we as women need to stop defending terribly written female characters because they're women. If there's nothing likeable about them you don't have to force yourself to like them for the sake of feminism. I get that misogyny is extremely prevalent in male-led projects, but making excuses for them isn't actually empowering us. It's making us weaker.

Man writes a female character as a bad person and targets her towards us as a strong woman. It's a misrepresentation of femininity, and frankly offensive, but instead of pushing back, we make the "Oh, she's just written by a man, she's not actually a bad person." She's entirely unlikeable but we pretend to like her because the idea of a woman hating a woman is unacceptable for some reason.

Even in real life, so many younger women these days seem to think that all females are perfect and that men are responsible for all the worlds' prpblems. Hate to be the one to tell you this, but women can be problematic too. It's frankly toxic to excuse everything a person does based on gender. There are so many terribly problematic women in this world. Just because there are more problematic men doesn't mean we have to support ALL women. No one is saying JK Rowling is "Just a girl😋" to excuse her transphobia, so why would you say it about a another woman to excuse her being an asshole?

It's okay to not like a poorly written femchar. It's actually more harmful to feminism to defend those characters, because it shows that we don't actually want change. Yes, it's important for us to rally together and stand up for ourselves, but we shouldn't back bad representation. That just shows complacency.

There are going to be bad female characters. And that's okay. You are allowed to hate them. You are allowed to be angry at the writers for screwing us over. We don't have to claim her.

I got a 90! But considering I pulled this paper out of my ass 8 hours before the due date, I'm entirely satisfied. Thank you for your crucial input, my professor absolutely loved it!

going from the reddit star wars fandom to the tumblr star wars fandom is giving me insane whiplash. the upside is that people aren’t bitching about every single imperfect detail in the entire franchise, but the downside is that i’ve seen more fanart of obi wan and commander cody tenderly knowing each other than i have ever wanted to in my life in the last three hours and it has probably fundamentally altered the way i interact with the entire franchise
