THEY ACTUALLY GAVE REY A SPOTLIGHT AND THEY SAID "we put rey in the movie because she was a strong female character that would never ever quit" (not exact quote) yeah she never ever quits because she's a mary sue who learns the force immediately through "dumb luck" and is just generally exceptional at everything ever this is what happens when you try "tackling gender bias", you put the gender of your character before the character itself and you end up with a stuff character |

I think the way to fix gender inequality in fiction (and stuffty mary sues as well) would be to get more female writers on TV shows and movies. They will naturally be able to write more realistic female characters, and the characters won't be 'forced to be female'. |
