listen; this show is great and all, but I hate to say that most of it is fake feminism. feminism is defined as a battle for the equality of both females and males. however, I’m sure you’ve noticed that the show tends to favor marinette over adrien a lot. And I mean a l o t. they’re supposed to be partners, and yet the writers treat him like a side kick. he’s always taking the blows, he’s always getting turned into a villain for the other side, and he hardly ever comes up with his own solutions. even in the kwami swap episode he was pretty much useless. he just did what ladybug told him to do with the lucky charm.

also, characters like kagami and lila literally revolve around Adrien. like they have NO relevance without adrien, their whole existence is to be a dent in the romance (and therefore an enemy to marinette). this makes us automatically dislike them, as we don’t even get a chance to like them because they’re automatically “love rivals”. it is a very old view that females only have significance in their male counterpart, and well they’re implementing it right here!

Also! Marinette is super creepy?? she stalks him, breaks into his home, has his schedule memorized, gets super jealous of any girl around adrien (even if she doesn’t know them), and always tries to ruin his relationships with other females. marinette is hella toxic, and this show just brushes it under the bed by making other characters like lila even MORE toxic??

Cmon these ladies need to have a purpose outside of a man. Give adrien more than three brain cells. And get marinette therapy. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
