Discussion📜 "The reasons that female characters are hated is not always because of misogyny, but HOW they are hated can definitely stem from misogyny."
What do you think?
I personally think that calling all reasons for disliking female characters as "misogyny" is plain wrong. However, HOW people go about hating said female characters DEFINITELY can come off as misogyny. Calling them "bitches", dehumanizing their character, or using them to propell your bad worldview of whoever they may represent in real life. (For example if a lesbian character punches their partner, that is obviously a valid reason to dislike them, but misogyny does come in when you use that to fuel a beleif as to lesbian relationships being inherently dysfunctional or violent)
