Not all male characters are built to be heroes and that's fine. There are more ways for characters to fit into the story, and more points for people who read/watch/play those stories to relate to the character, than how many faces they punch in. Otherwise, there'd be no need for multiple characters because they'd just be the same, and that'd make stories boring. <br /><br />To call one type of character "problematic" and thus in need of elimination because they aren't "strong" enough is to kill creativity. To have a really expansnsive idea of what "problematic" means is just making a shoddy argument, which would be understandable if it was just a vlog series from Jane Q. Random on Youtube, but not if it as part of what is claimed to be a well-research, in-depth look at what makes certain tropes bad or good or not.<br /><br />Another good blog post, and thanks again.A Nonny Mousenoreply@blogger.com
