So much bashing of FLs and so much over the top sympathy for the MLs. Actually doesn't make sense at all?!
An ML can lie, manipulate, be overtly and horribly cruel, but meh 'his childhood...' And this is when the FLs family aren't much better!
Yet we expect the FL to be a boss, sweet
but not too sweet, intelligent,
but not too smart, powerful,
but not too powerful.
These guys are, by and large, trash 🤷🏽♀️
You can understand the development of said characterisation and perhaps it mitigates aspects of their actions. But,
crucially: IT DOESN'T ABSOLVE THEM!
We expect our FLs to be strong AF, but get annoyed if things go too well or if they don't
react with overt 'strength'.
Even if it's fictional...why in fiction
and in real life are we
so quick to forgive cis men and hate on women identifying characters and people?
