WerewolfPaws 11/04/19 6:37:52 PM #1:	Ive noticed that a lot of female characters written by men are either poorly thought out or unlikeable, whereas a lot of female characters written by women suffer from glamorization due to a lack of representation in certain media.

DevsBro 11/04/19 8:06:13 PM #42:	Itennu posted... what is the criteria for a well-written female character, tc or anyone? please explain I suppose it differs by whether they are the main, a major character or a minor character. Narrowing it down to mains, I suppose they fall into two categories: 1. The character's sex is more or less irrelevant to the overall story, but there are some points here and there where relevant insights are presented or sex-specific roles like motherhood come up. 2. Being female is definitely plot-important, but the character is nuanced rather than cliched.
