text: Look, I've been writing female characters for a decade and a half and suddenly everybody is all "there are never any good female characters" and the people shouting the loudest are writing the crappiest female characters there are. It's horribly insulting to men who have enjoyed writing, reading, and watching female character, and horribly insulting to the women these horrible female characters are supposed to appease.  I'm tired of it. If someone thinks they could do better, then they should create their own stuff instead of insulting everyone.
