The impossble standards to which female characters are so often held, where they must be everything to every woman, or they are obviously misogynistic and worthless

THIS THIS THIS. THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS.

It's something that's been driving me nuts, the absurd double standards that female characters are held to. What frustrates me is that a lot of this is being done by female fans in the name of feminism. I think we can rail against the lack of complex central female characters while also able to judge secondary female characters accordingly.

And this is not even getting into the racial divide.
