I keep getting reccomended analysises of things like Velma and I Am Not Starfire and the like that ppl just do not like . And though I know nothing about the latter I know like . Fair enough . Etc

But it is really funny that "unlikable protagonist" is one of the biggest points of contention for both . Idk I just think it's a rlly dumb point

Idk if it's a matter of intent or what but "unlikable protag" is never a criticism for characters like Walter White, Patrick Bateman, Rick Sanchez, Peter Griffin, any of the Southpark boys, etc

So if I didn't know any better I'd assume the reason Velma and IANSF got this criticism is because the protags are women

#behind the tent #It might just be intent tho #bc . idk . YIIK and Scott Pilgrim got the unlikable protag criticism too I think and those are dudes #tho Scott used to be really likable for a while right like criticising him as a character is a new thing or #but anyways like #is there a show with a female protag where the female protag sucks and it isnt considered a detractor from the series #is there just some show where ppl go 'this lady sucks and we love her'
