>lesbian girl boss murdered a little boy, but she's the REAL victim!!!I never want to hear the fridging criticism ever again
>>23311048What's the fridging criticism?
>>23311172It is usually a type of argument that goes something along the lines that female characters must be put into situations with excessive amounts of physical danger in order for the male character to do something about it. Usually something that feminists seeth about.
>>23311200So feminists don't want women in literature to be put in danger?
>>23311048>chinese themed cover>girl boss murders a little boyIs this a book about the lover of the Chinese emperor, mentioned in 48 Laws of Power: "Destroy your enemy totally," where the lover fucks the chinese emperor with his barren wife's permission and then smothers the child she gives birth to knowing everyone will assume the wife must be to blame because she was jealous.
>>23311600I am not that knowledgeable on the ins and outs of the fridge argument to represent it, but I would say it has more to do with traditional sex and gender roles than it does the actual danger part. I really only see it mentioned about cape shit in all candor, and I am using cape shit in an encompassing sort of way not a pejorative sort of way, I really only see it mentioned in discussions about comic and Marvel type media.
>>23313820Are there any "pro-lesbian" novels that are actually good?
