Locking. This meme complains about misogyny, with people immediately jumping in to imply misogyny isn’t real and start complaining about irrelevant stuff to the meme in an inflammatory manner. Please behave in the future.
I have a sick compulsion where I read the comments on websites, willingly bathing my eyes in filth.
Feels like the viewers of manga and anime are indoctrinated with their own tropes, forcing “titles” on characters just because they are expecting to see them.
<Female doesn’t align with male main character> “Ah, here’s the fucking bitch character she’s so fucking annoying why hasn’t the author fucking killed off already?!!1” It’s deranged.

of course female characters can be shitty, but a lot of the time flaws a male character has will be forgiven while the same flaws in a female character will be used to say how horrible she is
CW child beating, mysoginist and ableist insults
he’s lashing out because he was beaten as a child? wow he is so nuanced!
she’s lashing out because she was beaten as a child? she’s just a psycho bitch with daddy issues
and this is not limited to fictional characters btw. women are held to higher standards than men all the time
But thats not typical, they usually take it further, sometimes it feels like they want to perpetuate the mysogyny and have men hate that woman on purpose, like they can never fail or are always the victim. Traits that’ll be seen and portrayed as negative for male characters are shown as positive for female characters with no consequences. I think it’s balanced out tho, I don’t really see it that much anymore and it was never that common.
It was probably to drive engagement with the shows, you get men hating character and woman jumping to defend them. Tons of social media engagement and free advertisement. Controversy always works.
i know, i am one. and I gotta say I find almost every single female character on “mainstream television” unbearable because the writers portray them in such sexist way & they have no personality. (well i guess its TV, its not supposed to be real) But I also find most men unbearable because they are… well I guess they’re supposed to act “charming” and “attractive” but I find them creepy. maybe I just hate people lol.
oh yea you’re absolutely right, the only people who hate female characters more than male audiences are male writers
Way to miss the point!
From my experience, most of the time the issue with these characters is more that they are badly written
Skylar sucks, if that makes me mysoginist then I guess I am one.
Doesn’t pretty much everyone suck in breaking bad? Haven’t watched it to the end though.
I wouldn’t say everyone sucks in breaking bad, but over 85% of the characters are pretty shitty people. IMO.
That’s true of a lot of TV shows, especially dramas. Non-shitty characters don’t exactly build interesting plots.
So like real life then.
most of them are bad people, but most are still likeable. skylar on the other hand is uniquely unlikable.

I mean at least she didn’t harm every person in her life and society as a whole due to a twisted idea about her gender role?
Or work with nazis, that would be pretty bad too.
