feel like many of the ppl who critique hoyo for how they write women dont actually know wtf theyre talking about and arent much better themselves

#theres the very obvious shit like the harem anime esque tropes #but then ppl will call out smth that is just a regular ass non gender specific writing decision #that they personally dont like and go SEE HOYO HATES WOMEN #even when the genshin men are subject to the same subpar writing quality #but then turn around and praise the most tropey ass weirdly written female characters as good writing??? #or shit on a piece of characterization that is completely fine and then blame it on hoyo writing women bad when the thing theyre complainin #about is written?? fine??? and the same trope in male characters doesnt bother them???? #it feels like actual thought out critique abt how they write women and girls gets drowned in a sea of irrelevant shit or ppl projecting #their own weirdness abt female characters. idk #anyway how have i seen that much discussion abt hoyo's female character writing and not one person calling them out #for what they did to shinobu #like 'exasperated mature woman has to babysit a gaggle of idiot boys' isnt a classic weird about women writing trope #sigh
