#peoples behaviour around this in the tma fandom activly kept me from engaging with the female characters i did like

[thedeafprophet]

i truly do get that in the grand scheme of fandom, female characters are not appreciated as much as male characters and are often given less sympathy and far less attention

but the solution to this is not to harrass people over liking male characters or whatever. yes, people should check their biases, and yes, misogynistic behaviour and analysis should be called out when presented.

But harrasment is not going to make people want to engage with stuff. all it is going to do is push people away from engaging with content, and make you an asshole
