Part 2/5:
A common critique of modern storytelling pertains to how female characters are portrayed. There's a pattern of relentlessly praising them—constantly highlighting how brave, intelligent, or funny they are. While these traits are admirable, the frequency and manner in which they’re emphasized can feel misplaced or exaggerated, detracting from the realism of the characters. The audience is often expected to absorb and accept these constant affirmations, which can sometimes undermine the characters' depth or the story's authenticity.
