So. About that annoying female character flowchart.

[laurus_nobilis]

(This one, in case you haven't seen it.)

Instead of ranting about it, I'm going to 1)link to a great fix (thanks to etrangere for the link!), and 2)follow allira_dream's idea and channel my RAAAAGE in a positive way:

GIVE ME A CHARACTER WHO IDENTIFIES AS FEMALE. Then I will write you the reasons why the lady is awesomer than awesome. It might be my squealing, it might be a drabble, it might be five reasons. The point is, I will gush about a female character, then YOU can gush about said female character and we will all be a little bit happier because 'FUCK YEAH, SHE'S AWESOME'.

I'll probably go for squealing/listing reasons instead of drabbles. But still. GO WILD.

Martha Jones!

Holy crap, that flowchat is terrible. First I've seen of it, but still...WTF. The "fixed one" is definitely better. WAY better.

And uh. Sari or Arcee. Take your pick between the two. :)

I'm just going to state right here that if the name of one of your 'stereotypes' is the character's name, that's not a stereotype. Because science says that's not how it works.

Katara!

Karrin Murphy :D

I'm still just reeling that Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor were on that list. As stereotypes. Seriously? Maybe if you reduce them down to their sole story function, but as characters? Blech.

I'd like to hear about the awesomeness of Airazor, please. :D

Heh, someone on my JF flist is also ranting about that flowchart.

For the meme, how about Nakuru, with some meta on why she identifies as female? Or if not, then Suki from ATLA.
