          can we normalize female characters having personality and fleshed out strengths without calling them 'bitch' and 'whore'??
          
          not every woman is going to play the damsel in distress or needs someone to save her, nor is she going to immediately fall for the love interest. if someone is negative toward you when you first meet, your obvious reaction is to be negative right back. just because she's a woman doesn't mean she has to be all 'OwO it's okay I'm so sorry'. 
          
          WHILE WE'RE ON THIS TOPIC- let's stop giving characters *abusive* ex's/family members/friends for plot convenience and character development without researching the long lasting effects first, yeah? 
          
          it's insulting when characters are handed out trauma seemingly out nowhere simply because OP has run out of ideas or thinks it's a quirky character trait. trauma isn't quirky. it's something that haunts you for the rest of your life and leaves you permanently messed up in the head.

absolutely!! it's gross to think that as a society, people have glorified childhood trauma to the point of thinking it's sexually appealing to have trust and abandonment issues.

completely. we need to normalize these things as being approached with respect and well-researched when being incorporated into anything written or on screen. it's detrimental seeing topics like mental disorders and trauma being glamorized to the point where people actively seek it out and think its a quirky character trait.

@FL0WERFACE ,
            and coming back to this the whole sexualisation of daddy/mommy issues literally pushes the label onto the child of the parent who isn't at all responsible and deflects the embarrassment (dont know the word) from the adult, making them carry the label of daddy/mommy issues whilst their parents don't even get any repercussions at all
