easy to fix
While I was in airplanes, everyone started talking about this Female Character Flowchart. I think whenever I want to feel ragey, the quickest way to do it would be to whip out this flowchart and follow my favorite characters to some boxed-in conclusion. (The best one was Delenn. She ended up on the 'biological timebomb' square. I shrieked and threw metaphorical popcorn at the screen.) And wow I am time-lagged because I don't have the mental wherewithal to talk about why the flowchart is stupid and absurd, so instead, some linking and memetic reactions:
The Female Character Yenta Meme: Comment with a description of your favorite character and/or pairing kinks. If you only want certain media (television, books, movies, RPF, comics...) feel free to specify. Sit back and wait for lovin'! AND/OR comment on other people's descriptions with female characters or at-least-one-woman-including-ships who fulfill their character and/or pairing kinks. This is basically the BEST IDEA EVER and I have been staring starry-eyed at the comment threads. Go forth! I will go forth too when I am less dazed.
And, truncated text of a lovely meme: This post is a chance for me to go through my DW/LJ icons and post the ones that I have that feature female characters, whether by themselves, with other women, with men, or simply as part of a group (which wouldn't be whole without them). Why? Because the thing is, these women are all awesome, in their own unique ways.

I didn't like that chart either. I think it does make a good point or two, but mainly it comes off as dismissing pretty much any supporting female character as a cheap trope and nothing else.
