women in fandoms can have one of two character traits: #girlboss or toxic bitch. occasionally these overlap and the same woman will be characterized by some people as a #girlboss and by others as a toxic bitch. sometimes she will also be referred to as a mom [friend], which can be a subset of #girlboss in that she's sooo much more emotionally mature and capable and careful and responsible than any man around her. but as we all know, #girlboss and mom friend, or toxic bitch: these are the only traits women have. any negative traits a woman has are erased - this is the thesis statement of the #girlboss characterizers: of course i love female characters!! i think women are so great they don't have any character flaws! #feminism - or are overinflated with disgust (she's toxic, she's a total bitch, she's evil. especially if she's not white. i mean what?)

#rimi talks #sorry i was just thinking abt lois lane. and then i started thinking about talia. and. well #many dc women get extreme girlbossification in fandom. i think steph brown is one of the most egregious #but there are people who call her a toxic bitch as well #ditto re barbara gordon.#cassie sandsmark often gets mom-variety girlbossed because ofc she hates fun and is super responsible.#never mind that every single time she's seen diana get into a fight she goes FUCK HIM UP!!! >:D #who else. cass cain? girlboss for sure but in funky fresh racist and infantilizing ways #because she's an asian woman with a language disorder i guess #anyways. theres my thought of the evening im so eepy. goodnight friends
