i know someone probably makes this addition to this post every now and then but it is cycling through my dash again and i’m just here to remind everyone that badly written female characters deserve the same kind of painstaking, loving headcanoning and analyzing than your 2-minutes-of-screentime male faves do. if the writing is lazy, fix them with the same amount of dedication background male characters are given. if she has a bad story, rewrite it in 50k fics like u do for yr male faves with no lines, fandom is transformative, you have the power to make those female characters the best characters there are. try it, it’s quick, it’s easy, it’s free

no thanks, why is fandom obligated to fix shitty writing

also fandom's default idea of what makes a female character good is so boring and always will be as long as they remain gender essentialist

i hate this shit

lol saying a fictional character ~deserves anything

fandom think characters are real people that's why

me- i mean my fave deserves the world :)

omg they don't deserve anything, they are characters not people!!!!!!!!!!

lol vanessa fartliebers

lol this is dumb af but i honest to god think most male characters are written terribly and they're mostly liked bc they're men + have screen time, nothing more

well yeah but there's more men in media in general which means greater probability of iconic characters or dynamic roles being men bc writers are lazy with women and they do default to sexism more than ppl think

yeah i'm saying they're liked bc they get screen time, plot lines, and audiences, men and women both, prefer male characters. i still think they're terribly written and boring

nah when there's good female character writing i know a lot of women who like good shows with female heavy casts

fic writing isn't the only way women show appreciation, its more complicated than that

but so are the female characters

mte

if a series has shit male characters their female characters aren't any better
