It's genuinely disappointing to see all the tags in that Misogyny Poll going "Why is Alex losing to a fucking cat". As if the horrible abuse and hate that Bumble was put through suddenly means nothing because she is an animal and not a human. I think this is something we should discuss more, how often we shove the things that a character has gone through off to the side because they're an animal, even though they're written to be incredibly human and also written by very much real life human beings
Alex DeWitt is a legend, don't get me wrong, she literally invented the term "Fridging", she never deserved to die all for the sake of man pain and her writing is a big topic of discussion with misogyny in writing. But I think it's obvious that people don't take the time to, y'know, read the propaganda attached, because most of the tags going "Alex is losing to a cat why the hell is she losing to a cat" makes it seem like they never read the add-ons to Bumble that go into detail the fatphobia, abuse, and misogyny that she is forced to go through, only to then have her die a horrible death with her ABUSER being given a REDEMPTION and a HEROES DEATH, all in a series meant for children
Bonefall explains it perfectly and I urge you to go read it
