#(though im sure some sexist men wouldnt mind their girlfriends becoming their mommy wives....)

[star-shard]

Just finding out im not a fan of the impossibly selfless character

The holy type that eagerly sacrifices themselves either for mean/boring characters or total strangers at the drop of a hat. The type that makes someone entirely unworthy their purpose for carrying on. To the point where it seems they have zero self preservation... that they don’t seem to want anything in life. Its generally female characters this trope is thrusted upon *cough cough* gender roles *cough*

i get its supposed to get across just how much of a Jesus this person is but to me it always comes off as unrealistic and annoying from a viewing standpoint

And when insane selflessness is framed as ‘womanly’ and ‘admirable’ it downplays just how self destructive it really is...................

#when someone's sole purpose in life is self sacrifice and deletion of any selfish needs it becomes very robotic #(though im sure some sexist men wouldnt mind their girlfriends becoming their mommy wives....) #flaws make a character interesting #people have selfish wants and they can be cowardly and they can be brave but still care about themselves #(Steven Universe got like this too) #(the character not the show) #(like....... let jasper be shattered who cares)
