Lmao the fact that even this person uses “girlboss” and generic descriptors (nice girl uwu) not actually personality traits... Except shy timid. Because women are only allowed to be pathetic and useless nowadays.
it doesn’t matter what female character is girlboss or traditional nice girl or shy timid she’ll always get criticized and people call it “overused trope“meanwhile cocky loud guy or aloof smart guy been around for ages and fandom spaces still glorify these tropes
@shokosim Male characters are allowed to be archetypes while female characters are expected to constantly reinvent femininity just to be considered well written. Ppl are being far more critical of female characters simply for existing
Im so glad more people are finally waking up to this. Rarely does "girlboss" critique have anything to do with its anti-capitalist origins. And now its just "i hate women characters who aspire to be more than spiritual kitchen servants"
we got mainstream dark romance books where the mmc rapes and kidnaps the fmc being turned into movies and this is the primary issue we're talking about?
The blue haired guy is the ML. In the FL’s first life, he constantly belittled her, raped her, caused her to miscarry, forced her to lick his feet, killed her father, and then killed her. In the FL’s second life, she forgives him and marries him.
@radfemsiren She's not that famous, but she's the real life Mulan: Maria Quitéria. A women from Bahia who disguised herself as a men to join the Brazilian army and fight against Portugal for independence. When they found the truth, they told her to stay because she was an amazing shooter
Female hero protagonists in books feels fake because real life doesn’t have female protagonists. Women aren’t Napoleon or Caesar, they don’t walk on the moon or make world changing discoveries, or create secret societies, or lead revolutions.
@papiezbutch they hate its performativity because they say it circles back to the gender roles that it tries to subvert (they wont admit it, but its bc they want those roles completely preserved), I hate its performativity because I actually want to see pegging be more prevelant in fanworks.
