You beat me to posting this by one minute. And yes, they’re always going on about strong female characters, equality, diversity, so on and so on but they don’t practice what they preach. It seems, to me, that their idea of a strong female is someone that’s better at everything, treats people as lesser-than (especially if it involves a male), and never struggle. They finally have a genuinely strong, decent, compelling female character and throw her away because she’s a conservative who speaks her mind. They’re incapable of creating a new Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor-like character. Instead we get Rey “Skywalker” or Michael Burnham.
