Yeah What The Fuck - Blog Posts
No there is no good fucking reason.
Some of you need to seriously consider how you talk about kids and teenagers, especially young females. You can’t call them foolish for making mistakes or oversensitive/overreactive and not think about what you’re projecting about yourself. Sorry Andi Mack, Elena Cañero-Reed, Riley Matthews, Julie Molina, Monse Finnie, Anne Shirley Cuthbert, Katara, Nini Salazar Roberts and every female protagonist of a TV show isn’t up to your impossible standards but they’re still kids (the hell most adults don’t have an inch of the emotional intelligence some of these characters have) and they are not supposed to be perfect. And if you really get down to it, most hated female characters are those of colour and then it truly hits you. Our society is so deeply rooted in misogyny and racism and it shows in such a painfully obvious fashion. Don’t say you don’t like her because she did X or Y, just say you’re racist and misogynistic and move on.
