. . . I hate when people mistake "the narrative doesn't explore this female character's interiority" with "this female character is dumb and helpless".
It's better when they say "passive" because at least that is something you can concretely see or not see, but . . . when you don't see anything of a female character's thought processes and default to assuming she's "dumb and helpless" that says more about you than anything else.
