You know what's truly baffling?

People who insist on liking female characters that are horrible bags of sexist tropes to deal with their own "internalized sexism". Doesn't that sound fucking stupid. Here you are adhering to a horrible characterization that people use to put real life women down and you do it under the guise of wanting to deal with your own issues. Wouldn't that just exacerbate them?

Maybe it'd be better for you if you just looked outside the realm of live action television shows to other genres that had more to offer in the way of female characters that were treated like...actual characters? True enough that there's sexism in every genre, but I've found more positive portrayels of female characters in various animated series and webcomics.
