gryphonseggLike some of my friends, I'm posting female character icons in response to the flowchart of fail.
First, the ATLA icons:
Katara is one of my favorite characters ever. She's in my default Dreamwidth icon:
I have another one of her that speaks more directly to my personal issues:
This is my Katara icon for LJ:
Toph is another favorite of mine. She's in my default LJ icon:
I also like Ty Lee a whole lot, especially as a Kyoshi Warrior. Here she is disguised as one in S2:
Here she is again in S3, having joined the club for real:
I wish Suki got more screen time. She has the greatest facial expressions ever:
Not all my icons are of ATLA characters! I like other things too.
Ponyo, the cutest little mermaid alt ever:
Renee Montoya, aka The Question, detective and legacy hero:
Real people-- If real people's names are going to be used as "female stereotypes" in an offensive flowchart, I'm going to use real people's images as examples of female awesomeness!
Science fiction and fantasy author Andre Norton; she's been ruining the genre for the straight dudes for a long time!
A young ATLA fan who was NOT impressed by the racefaily, genderfaily, writingfaily, and all-around bad live action movie:
These next characters are from the movie 9. They aren't technically female; they're robots, they have no physical sex, and they've expressed no gender identity. However, the tall one, 7, has a woman voice actor, and the fandom treats her as a female character. The twins, 3 and 4, don't speak or get gendered in any way in the movie. A lot of the fandom makes them boys by default, and a large portion of the rest of the fandom wants to make one a boy and the other a girl. (It's usually 4 who gets assigned the "girl" role, because 4 allegedly appears more skittish and fearful than 3-- stereotype fail within fandom, even by people who like them.) I'm in the minority that likes both of them as girls. It might seem a little odd to put robot characters with no sex characteristics on a list of female characters. But the flowchart of fail had EVE on it, so I guess not even robots are safe from sexism. Fortunately, 7 can handle any danger.
The chief export of 7 is pain:
3 and 4 are delightful little nerd-creatures:
Sometimes they are taken aback by the post-apocalyptic goings-on they witness:
3 and 4 are close to 7. She plays with them and comforts them.
The twins are curious beings with no concept of personal space, as exemplified by their treatment of their new friend 9:
