i’ve also seen ppl go ‘well it’s not our responsibility to like female characters who are badly written’

ok no it’s not

but at least be honest about it

be honest about the way you’ll create meta for male characters with little-to-no screentime

be honest about the meta you create for male characters who are flat-out villains

be honest about why you’ll do that for men but get offended when someone points out you’re ignoring women

be honest about why you vilify/dismiss/fridge/etc female characters even beyond the bullshit they get in canon

be honest about why, when you create so many transformative works, it is ‘too much effort’ and ‘asking too much’ for you to take the time to think critically about female characters rather than unquestioningly accepting the shitty writing

(bcos lbr if a show has consistently badly-written women, the plot itself can’t be that great because the writers literally do not understand half the world’s population as people)
