why is the strong woman trope so fucking annoying? why is it that movies and shows can't have a woman with typically "manly" qualities (confidence, initiative, physical strength) without it turning into a gimmicky plot point in and by itself, or the character being completely insufferable?

She wasn't strong though. She was fucked in the head. The series made that pretty clear.
>>
they didn't really drive home the "strong woman" stuff all that much, I felt
>>
>>71757854
I actually find strong, independent women attractive. But it MUST be believable and well acted otherwise, it's trash.
>>
She was an ineffective, incompetent and terminally unfucked alcoholic.

She was about as rounded as a triangle, because Pizza, but she wasn't the cliched stronk girl
>>
>>71757854
she seemed like a very well written character desu
>>
>>71757854
but she doesnt fit that trope at all, she carried knives around and had training for it because she realizes shes weak physically and cant compete with a man
>>
Characters built soley around those qualities are insufferable regardless of gender. Someone acting like a hardass is the stupidest shit ever and that goes for both men and women.
>>
>>71757947
did you watch the show? she hated men because she was a closeted lesbian.
>>
Why was she so perfect bros
>>
It's unfeminine, easy as that, what kind of faggot finds a woman pretending to be a man appealing.

Because the only one who did it right is busy making Space Smurfs 2: The Quest for Curly's Unobtainium.
>>
Are they making more or is season 2 the final one?

rust's actor said he was willing to come back
>>
>>71758062
did you even watch the fucking show. She was into double penetration
>>
Because it's annoying in real life as well. I spent all day vying for dominance with other dudes. Damn sure not interested in doing it with a woman.

Plus, any woman who self-describes as "strong" or "bad ass" or whatever is clearly deeply insecure about some perceived inner weakness and overcompensating. Call them on it and watch them flip a gasket which is the biggest proof that they know it's true.

Ripley in Aliens is the only time I've seen it done right.

>>71757854
because third-wave feminists can't resist preaching "muh victimhood" and "tough girl who's paid her dues in a world of men fight the patriarchy"

Because the international jew wants to destroy gender roles

Once upon a time girls were admired for being gentle, nurturing, humble, chaste, kind, reticent, submissive, calm, clean, gracious, etc.

But noooooo, the goyim are wrong

why
>>
>>71757854
Because its forced. Instead of it being G.I. Jane its mary sue tier garbage.

Its no different than the rom com where the shy beta boy inexplicably wins the girl by being a nice guy.

I'm in love with her ass desu
