what's everyone's problem with women??

I started looking through this sub more now than I've gotten past the big twists of the story and im kinda floored about the contrast between how male and female character are treated (i will be discussing said big twists so if the spoiler tag wasnt enough this is your warning)

I've seen several posts about how annoying Mi-an and Nia are, that Mi-an doesnt deserve the money, that she steals the spotlight (????????), that Nia is mean and passove aggressive (do you guys just... not have friends? shes being playful), that shes too familiar (again supporting my theory that these people have never been best friends with another girl), that shes stalkery and her crush is creepy (this one is often just straight up homophobic). There are a LOT of people who dont like Catori. Amirah is called condescending (mind you she, through her own admission, has poor social skills but so do a lot of the male characters and theyre usually less polite than her). Matilda is seen as a one dimensional villain and all the actions she takes that contradict that (taking a bullet for logan, giving the soldiers orders not to hurt anyone, apologizing before her betrayal) are seen as just manipulation.

Meanwhile, with Miguel its all "ooh he was trying to do the right thing" despite the fact that the reason why he thought this was the right thing is completely bananas. People are scouring the chinese texts to prove that Pen is not that bad actually. Qi is pretty rude and condescending. The only male characters that receive this level of scrutiny are Yan (who is written to be hated) and Arvio.

Mind you, i like these male characters. I think its better when characters are imperfect and messy. I think Arvio fits in that category because he does MEAN well despite the trouble he causes (hes pure of heart but sadly dumb of ass). But its so disappointing that female characters are so heavily hated and scrutinized. And its disappointing to see that in a sub that seems to be mostly women. It honestly feels like some of yall have a weird rivalry with Video Game Women 😭
