There are definitely bad female characters, and Im not saying people shouldnt complain about them. Plenty of them are poorly written. But even the ones that arent great tend to get way more hate than they deserve.

I started thinking about this because of Heavy Rain. The mother did nothing wrong she just asked Ethan to not let their other kid die, which is a pretty reasonable thing to say after losing one child. Meanwhile, Ethan is one of the worst dads in gaming who isnt an outright villain or from the Pokmon world and somehow shes the one people hate.

Ashley from Resident Evil 4. People acted like she was the most annoying character ever, but she really wasnt that bad. Yeah, she needed to be rescued sometimes.

The ultimate example is Skyler White. I watched Breaking Bad after the hype and expected her to be awful based on how much people hated her. But she wasnt. Walt was. The guy who named himself after a Nazi and murders people is obviously the worst, yet somehow Skyler was the one who got the most hate.
