Europeans are arguably bigger SJWs than Americans.

And the only reason it seems to be the opposite is because aside from Britain, Europe produces jack shit in terms of shows.

why does every show have to have a strong male character?

TWD has Darryl, Rick, and Abraham. Why don't you complain about all of them
>>
>>63091513

Tell us how you feel about Supergirl and Jessica Jones
>>
>>63091513
OP you seem to be under the impression that strong females don't actually exist. They're not superheroes by any stretch of the imagination, but they can be pretty tough.
>>
i think rick is the only likeable character in the series. at least the last 3 seasons.
>>
Carol is better than most "strong female" types because (by the mediocre characterization of the show) she seems to have actually grown as a character and toughened up from all the horrors that have happened to her.

It's a pretty cool development from when she was an even worse archetype, the scared and battered housewife.

A way worse "strong female" character on the show was Andrea, who was consistently portrayed ass some kind of intelligent, competent badass when in reality she was always doing the stupidest shit
>>
>>63091513

At least she actually had development that lead to her stronkness. Lost her daughter, her abusive husband, and manned the fuck up.
>>
>>63093292
Michonne's character has taken the opposite track. She started off as a badass character and she's softened up over the last couple of seasons.
>>
White cis men must die shitlord, it's just the beginning of your end.
>>
She isn't a "stronk female character" because she wasn't hamfisted into the cast as that, she's developed over time. Season 1 she was a meek as fuck passive shy loser who got beat up by her husband, and even after he died she was shy and passive and let other people make big decisions, on occassion she got whiny if things really went bad.

She's had to adapt and change and become colder and more forceful in order to survive. And of the cast her development has easily been the most realistic and reasonable of the cast.

>Insult muh Carol

Get fucked retard. Carol was a great character arc.

Started out a victim of domestic abuse, and treated like shit 24/7. Then she realised her husband wasn't this all powerful person when he died. Then this got compounded by her daughter dying.

It changed her and made her realise she has to do whatever it takes to survive.

It's not like Carol starts fist fighting 3 /fit/ white guys without breaking a sweat

When you retarded assholes stop watching garbage and showing the industry it is acceptable.

^EVERY female is a strong female.

They only gave Carol that strong female type characterization because they killed off Andrea and gave Carol her role in the comics.

>in order to portray a female character as strong, she needs to do all the things that men typically do

Isn't this admitting that you are just a slave to the masculine mindset of what counts as strength?

Women can have a strength of character that doesn't depend on their biologically inferior muscle mass or bone density.
>>
>>63091513
Carol is actually a pretty good example of the "strong female character" done right, fedora-kun.
>>
Do you hate women so much that having that gender in a show at all offends you that much? I know we all hate SJWs and the PC police but you guys are starting to get just as annoying as the other side.
>>
>>63091513
character trope aggregation reflects what studio execs think will sell the best the widest possible audience at any given moment

more or less it's Jung's collective unconscious except applied to for profit media entertainment

>>63091513
Coral is great and one of the few fun things in shitpile named TWD
>>
>>63091513

Could you imagine the shit-flinging that would result if they used comic-carol?

>completely subservient to her abusive husband
>he dies, she then jumps on the token black bull
>gets keked by michonne
>unsuccessfully throws her pussy at anyone that shows her the smallest kindness, gets rejected by everyone
>suicides by making out with a zombie, because "that's the only thing that really wants her"

I always found post-apocalyptic setting right for strong female characters. I imagine that the ones who survive would either be pretty strong or have the best pussy game.
