Theory Really odd how mainstream entertainment has apparently forgotten how to write strong female characters

[Hoppipolla]

Think what you want of strong female characters but there was a time when they could be written in a way that was believable, likeable and didn't have to be sexualised necessarily. For example Ripley, Sarah Connor especially in T2, original Joanna Dark, etc.

Oh and Lara Croft particularly in the games from the noughties. Tons of examples!

Yet now... they write them as being pretty insufferable most of the time and then complain when people dislike them.

Bizarre.

There are no strong women because they don't need to be strong to get everything they need in life

You still get strong women though don't you. Or fairly strong women. They still exist. So you can portray them in entertainment... but for some reason they have to make them obnoxious or Mary Sues or something like that.

everyone in the arts became a cuck, including the main example, james cameron, because of the constant moving of the overton window.

james cameron is correcting a little with Fire and Ash, but "corrections" are never satisfying, only balanced and complete works are.
