They're the ones calling the shots, after all. If a female character is weak, one-dimensional, lust-fodder or only-there-as-a-victim, it's their fault. And if fans don't like a character maybe there's something else to be done other than kill them dead.
Yes, exactly!!! (Three exclamation marks!) I went to grab a shower earlier and started thinking about this again and got so ANGRY at everything. THIS FUCKING SHOW I don't even know why I'm sticking with it anymore - I... can't just give up on it because, yeah, there is awesomeness to be had and I still love it and I adore the ensemble and all but - ugh, I seriously am exhausted just thinking about the shit the writers/whoever calls the shots are pulling. People have been addressing these issues for years, for Christ's sake. And still, it's our fault. WHAT ARE YOU, WRITERS, SOME KIND OF MINDLESS DRONES THAT WE CONTROL WITH OUR EVIL SEXIST POWERS OF DOOM? ARE WE ALL HATERS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN PEOPLE AS WELL? AND LET ME GUESS, WE HATE OTHER MINORITIES, TOO.
