You know how there are people who claim that the male characters in X series are more interestingly written than the females? I'm wondering how much of that is internalized misogyny, and how much is straight female fans with crushes. Because I'd say that at least 75% of the time, my favorite character(s) in a given canon are male, and I know a good portion of it is fictional crushdom - but I know it's that, so I don't bring up ridiculous "the women are written poorly!" rubbish to justify why I'm more interested in (eg) Chase than Cameron.
It makes even more sense when I consider male fans like Vanceone and Pstibbons who regard a female character as being totally amazing, and the males as poorly written, and seem to have a mad passion crush for said female character.
Nothing new or revolutionary. |
