People love to reply to this sentiment with "but everything I like has 15 male characters and 1 female character and she sucks!!!!! How is that my fault?????"

Have you considered that maybe you should broaden your palette and watch things that do have more well written female characters? Rather than just saying they don't exist? Like do you not think that only enjoying things that disregard women to such a degree isn't part of the problem????

i dont really know how to articulate this but its crazy just how many people dont even realize they dont care about female characters. all their faves are men. they never talk about girls without being led into it. and when you try to point this out to them they try to defend themselves that their faves are just the archetypes they like, despite clearly not caring when that same archetype is a woman. like i feel like at a certain point it is your problem with the common denominator if you cant find a single female character to enjoy

#cmon lmao #like if you go through this blog you can see how often i talk about how much i losthe how women are written in the mcu #and that i do not like pretty much any of them #but i like other things with women in them #i like things tgat are made by women even lmao #women in fandom are so fucking weird about this stuff #like the only time women matter is so they can write her as the faury godmother for their yaoi fanfiction #cough natasha cough #do ypu understand how fucking bad it was in the early days when she was the ONLY female character #i know we alll like to look back 2012 era avengers fandom with love but #i really do not miss the misogyny lol #not that its really gone :/
