Since when did shitting on male characters (who are victims, in whatever form they may come in) to promote female characters (who typically aren’t actively angry about what happened to them, as the “ideal” victim) become the defining feature of being a feminist comic fan

#believe it or not being a misandrist is not cool #kelseethe #not to make general statements but so far #every person I’ve seen claiming that 1. Jason is obvs wrong and we shouldn’t think he’s right or #or 2. this female character is a better trauma victim than Jason because xyz #seems to be at least somewhat enthusiastic about female empowerment and promoting female characters/stories #but only at the cost of putting down male characters #their reasoning for why this female character is better is almost always that they've undergone redemption aka ‘bettered’ themselves #by realizing it’s wrong to stay angry and have demands #by conforming to the ideals that the patriarchal systems and the men who enforce this system project onto them #not only is this rhetoric of ‘you should like x character instead of y’ just plain stupid on it’s own #but saying if you’re a woman or feminist you should like x character INSTEAD of y is even stupider #on top of how this is bordering on terf ideology #implying that cis women should only relate to and enjoy stories about other women also implies cis men should only care about men’s pov #regressive and divisive and damaging all around #why do people think Jason fans (whether they be male female or anything else) need to justify liking him #this type of shit leads to the stupidest waste of time discussions #every person who has this opinion also feels the burning desire to tag it with Jason’s name which is just. wonderful #real thoughtful of you to assume we cared or wanted to see that
