Harry Potter comes to mind, as does Frodo, Bilbo Baggins, Sherlock Holmes (who didn't strike me as either), Hercule Poirot, Mr. Darcy, Jeeves, and oh so many others. Does this person not read? Do they not watch anything else?
I had an lengthy argument with a female anti-female Doctor fan, at least I think she's female (there's no way of knowing really), who argued the same thing. They also argued, and this bewildered me to no end and made me wonder what they've limited themselves to watching -- that it was impossible to have a complicated female action hero, who did violent and nasty things, because women heroes aren't permitted to be portrayed in this manner or something. The woman had watched Buffy. I mean, seriously, she had watched Buffy and was a Buffy fan.
I don't think these people are being honest with themselves. Because their arguments are absurd.
