genuinely impressive how every piece of media seems to have One Guy who just gets turned into the most pathetic never done anything wrong in his entire life sad little meow meow entirely regardless of whatever his canon portrayal is...

#this has been a post about jiang cheng. and obi-wan kenobi. and-#is this a genuine media phenomenon and if so why??#like I do get being more sympathetic to a Guy #and also being more interested in him when he's at his emotionally lowest points #but ??????#also the use of Guy and masc pronouns isn't a mistake. female characters do get squished like this too #but they tend to just get made into perfect idols if that makes sense?#you know; girl boss has never done anything wrong in her entire life. like YES its a joke #but the humour there relies upon the idea that female characters have to be perfect #idk. I think there's something to be said about how male characters flattening in fandom tends to be giving him loads of emotions #and female characters tend to get made into stoic girlbosses who can do everything...#this is obviously just based on my own experiences of the few fandoms I've actively been in online though haha #original ani thought
