View original postIt's not a very popular position, but I am so sick and tired of certain sites demanding (yes, as obnoxious as that) some kind of quota of more strong female characters in TV and film. I say: write great characters, period. Then cast the person who is best for the job. If they are black, gay or female, great. If they are male, hetero and white, also great. But the politically correct bullshit goes a little far recently.

Well, more to what you wrote, but still.

I agree. My current pet peeve is the female who appears to be powerful but then still ends up half naked for a barely plausible reason. On one hand, you know, great! You could be powerful and sexy, and I'd admire that. But it's obvious that they are trying to fill that quota, while still having the sexy chick to draw the viewers. Feels cheap, and it's obvious that only a hot chick can fill the role.
