Y'all know that post about that talked about how they find outspoken/progressive heroines in period dramas to be "pandering and unrealistic" at times, especially if they are outspoken without any repercussions et cetera? I'm going to be completely real with you all--I think the people who wholeheartedly agreed with that post embrace a loser mindset in feminism where you cannot acknowledge outstanding women and constantly have to reassure the average woman who seeks nothing that they're totally valid too <3
It's one thing if the dialogue sounds like twitter threads or incredibly hamfisted in general, but what is wrong with venerating women who went against the grain by focusing on their stories? I don't think that uplifting the cream of the crop of women dehumanizes the average woman that did what was expected of her, which is what the OP of the poster and the people who reblogged that shit acted like it was.
