Dear fandom stop sucking kthx
Dear fandom,
I know our relationship has been complicated lately. I haven't been returning your phone calls and I said that mean thing about your mother that one time. You are probably not inclined to listen ATM, but if there was one thing I could ask of you, could you kindly cop to the fact that "emotional" is a word you almost exclusively reserve for female characters? That when you do come around to criticizing male characters you settle for milquetoast qualifiers like "stupid", "dumb", and "idiot"? That the frequency of occasions where you actually, honestly, directly acknowledge that your beloved male characters do make emotion-based decisions is horrifically low?
Can you be honest and cop to it? Yours, etc.
