My video’s currently climbing its way to 5000 views! Thanks everybody!

I do want to address a weird comment that come up twice though, as two people accused me of unintentionally saying that “in order for a female character to be well written she has to be abused.” I’m sorry, what? How on earth is that your interpretation of the video?

I went through it in my mind and I referenced three characters that were abused in my video for reference: Harley, Tonya Harding, and Cinderella (maybe 4 if you can include Jinx) for good female character writing I also mentioned or showed Vi, Barbie of all characters, Mulan, Gwen Stacy, Lydia Tar, Annie Wilkes, Princess Leia, Kat Stratford, Maleficent, etc. (I guess I also mentioned Black Widow who could also be considered to have an abusive past)? What all these characters have in common though is not that they were abused, but that they all have something more to them in regards to character development, depth, or flaws that make them well written as opposed to flat “strong independent women” archetypes. I hate to say it, but I think the only way a person could interpret my video as saying female characters need to be abused must have something in their mind that’s making that stand out to them the most and ignore everything else, or their just trying to argue against me in bad faith.
