Types of female characters we need more of
older women allowed to have a story outside of the fairy godmother trope or being a mere caretaking accessory to another character
girlfail characters
women who stand on business and dump the pathetic loser bf
non-traditionally feminine women who bond with traditionally feminine women instead of putting them down (and the other way around)
women who take charge of their destiny
women whose happy end doesnt involve romance and whose romantic life is not centered much
strong but warm and empathetic women
queer women with a story beyond exploring their queerness
soft black women
female mentors who dont fall into the caretaker role but also arenât unnecessarily cruel
grumpy, taciturn women
fun, flirty, seductive women whose personality is not treated as a promiscuous flaw to be fixed
weird and off putting women
tall, feminine women who are not othered or treated as less feminine for their height
short, serious women who are not infantilised and taken seriously
women in stem
female antagonists whose antagonistic behavior is not sexualised or motivated by being wronged first. just an evil, brutal person
women of color who are neither the âsubservient damsel in distress who needs to be freed by the white manâ nor the âoriental, tempting beauty who seduces the white man with a dagger, a smirk, and a cocky one linerâ
