Topic | a video calling out the double standard about "girlboss" characters |
asdf8562 08/02/25 1:06:48 PM #128: | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] For starters the word "girlboss" originated from women. So people are only coining something some women decided to coin in the first place. But its beyond the point. What I said wasnt unreasonable either. We cant keep pointing to the minority in these discussions and treating them as the majority. Just because someone happens to dislike a character you happen to like or think has little to no flaws. Because these type of discussions tend to not go much of anywhere, and assumes those who dislike or critique a woman character must dislike the character because shes a woman. Then points to actual people who hate woman as their supporting argument. So the discussion or question if you will, tends to not really be seeking an actual discussion beyond those who already think you simply dont like a character because they're a woman, while falsely assuming that same criticism isnt pushed onto a plethora of male characters. Im not saying there arent individuals out there who only specifically attack women. But the discussion here isnt really targeting only them. Its acting as if a majority attack female characters over male characters for the same flaws. While setting up a narrative that the sheer idea of having criticism of a female character, has a great probability of being rooted in hating women. Because we arent being honest that's definitely a goto argument some have if you dare critique a character that happens to be a woman, too. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
