I really enjoyed this video essay. I thought the perspective on the motivations of the different authorses worthwhile. I'm not sure how you select a movie director before they've demonstrated it in multiple films. But it does mean you're not going to get something new from somebody who's got to demonstrate a pattern.

Kyle! :D

Been a Doormonster fan since they had the questionable channel name (lol). Kyle tells it like it is, as both a writer and a feminist. A lot of people balk at hearing cis dudes criticize bad female character writing because "how could they really understand," but Kyle even acknowledges that (the answer is have literally more than 0 empathy lol)

at the very least I'm one gal who can vouch for Kyle's understanding here. he gets it. good on him.
