Only good female characters are those that worship at the shrine of men, apparently
(this has nothing to do with the post but I loved it too much not to include)
I will NEVER understand the hate of strong women by female fandom.
NEVER.
I have been reading up people's further reactions to Korean drama Slingshot and I know I posted before my bafflement at their dislike (to put it mildly) of Kyung Ah - the strong-willed, ambitious ex-girlfriend of the main character.
But the latest rage against her (including someone wishing she would literally become a whore who has nothing) baffles me. With such a level of indignation one would think she killed infants or puppies for breakfast as opposed to deciding to choose a well-spoken, if ruthless, and rich businessman over her trouble-maker ex with whom she never played head games or led on to believe she'd prefer him. Did I mention she has previously sacrificed her entire independence to rescue her ex's family? Or that while the audience might know that the businessman who is her ex's nemesis has been clinically diagnosed as a psychopath, she does not?
Yes. I can see the evil oozing out of her every pore.
I hate to break it to you, fangirls, but not drooling at the feet of the hero does not constitute a punishable offense. Whining about your incomprehension that the hero seems to still have positive feelings for her and not view her as the Whore of Babylon, does not endear you to me either.
Feminism. You are doing it wrong.
