Because these people have no talent or skill and they have to make pennies from this low brow stupidity.

The problem is that they don't *want* flawed female characters with proper story arcs about overcoming those flaws. They also don't want perfect female characters who present little to no flaws. They don't want female characters who serve any purpose other than being a love interest for the male characters.
They'll claim it's not about that, and it's about wanting "good writing", but they're incapable of naming a single female protagonist who they think is well written outside of a small handful of film franchises from the 80s-90s that are deeply embedded in pop culture, and that they can't criticize as "woke trash" without making their whole ideology look like more of a joke than it already is.

They’ll often bring up Leia from Star Wars as an example of a “well written badass”.
Aside from New Hope where she was shown to be cunning whilst being rescued by Luke and Han, she has done absolutely nothing of significance but be a damsel in distress for the rest of the original trilogy.
Not to mention, they like to call Rey a Mary Sue but are completely fine with Luke who trained for few days? Maybe weeks at best? Defeating Darth fucking Vader in a duel, the guy who spent decades learning under the finest Jedi Masters and later on learned the ways of the dark side from Darth Sidious. That guy gets defeated by a poor kid with minimal training and the kid is not a Mary Sue?
As you can tell, I’ve been watching some Star Wars and this just bugged me lol.

I love Leia, but I couldn't agree more. ISTG she's only as iconic as she is because of the personality Carrie Fisher gave her.

There's a difference between a character the audience thinks is flawed and one that the story treats as flawed. When a character makes a bad choice, there's an expectation they will suffer for it. In many of these stories, they make it so the female character doesn't really fail due to not being good enough because they don't want to show that, but she'll make bad decisions the audience can't really understand only for it to work out well in the end, like riri doing all these crimes. It feels too much like special treatment.
If you want a good female character, Jessica Jones works. She has anger and trust issues, doesn't work well with people.

People keep quoting Obadiah stane like he wasnt
1. Biased af statement.
2. Literally surrounded by WEAPONS OF WAR
3. Literally able to get whatever he wanted from the terrorists.
Riri built hers from a car. With no money. And no high tech gadgetry.

Yeah I just rewatched Iron Man (Still so damn good) and yup, he had crates of his highest tech weapons with him in the cave. Along with a couple of decades of engineering experience.
Pro Tip: If you're quoting the bad guy... you *might* be an asshole.

I always assumed that technology in the MCU has advanced so much due to Stark tech and the leftover alien tech from the NYC invasion, that it would make it easier for her to access tech for her suit.

It’s Youtube shorts. These are 12 year olds that think hating women and minorities are cool and also ignore all writing for the sake of “aura”

If only!
Reddit has thaught me it's also old dudes that "have read all of Marvel" and feel "it was better before".
Also I mean... Just watch any marvel YouTuber anywhere between 20 and 50, most of them are riding the hate train to get views. It's the new norm: hate and shock value sell. It used to be sex, now it's how many racist, homophobe, sexists you can convince to follow you for your hateful rhetoric combined with how many folks that will hate watch, like, subscribe because they are angry and can't look away.
I try my hardest to actively unsubscribe, hide, "don't recommend" and sometimes even report when the rhetoric is particularly violent, and my YouTube and Reddit feed is still poluted by this hateful bullshit.
Heck... Posts like this one do the exact same thing: "hey are you aware that x group hates y thing about the community you like?" "Hot take! Divisive opinion!" "Here's my fancast of recent project with a cast filled with randos whose only commonality is not being a person of color or opposite gender like the actual cast"
We're as poluted by this bullshit as we are filled with microplastics and we similarly can't seem to get rid of them

It's not about hating women, it's about the fact that she's blatantly insanely narcissistic and egotistical with NO character arc and NO redeemable qualities😹
Realistic_Analyst_262025-10-28 11:10
Almost like she is literally written to be a villain? She made a deal with the devil (Mephisto). Thanos doesn’t get this much hate
sengokunerd2025-10-12 18:22
Her being flawed is fine… but if this is all we ever get of her, it’s extremely unsatisfying.
N8CCRG2025-10-12 18:37
Don't ever give them clicks or attention. Let them die sad, pathetic and alone.
Gurabirei2025-10-13 03:29
you mean like you are?
Myhtological2025-10-15 08:01
Yeah but does anyone ever call her out? And she also earlier said no shade, but here she is throwing shade.
