Which female characters fail the "sexy lamp" test?

I'm so glad I'm gay

>>24775235
Everyone of these "tests" is always impossible to pass unless the female character is the vocal point of quite literally every piece of action and progress in the story. So you have to write an implausible woman which fails the test of reality

>>24775235
All the good ones.

This test is really crude and meaningless.
>>24775239
Same. Not a day goes by where I don't realize how I lucked the fuck out.
>>
>>24775235
Can we do that test with male characters too ?
>>
>>24775260
there can't be sexism against men just like how there can't be racism against white people. The power structures in place for thousands of years will have to be switched for that

most stories would be improved if all female characters were replaced with "sexy lamps"
not that I know what those are supposed to be but at least I presume they cannot speak (and are sexy)
>>
>>24775235
Women are so fucking stupid
>>
>>24775235
Now apply the same test to male characters. Every story that fails the test on a female character will also fail the test on a male character.
That's how background characters work.

I don't think the test is fair considering real life women usually fail it.
>>
Most people encountered in most people's lives could be substituted for some common inanimate object radiating an otherwise human trait, never actually acting in a substantial way. Awkward chair, mysterious shelf, smothering table, warming oven, judgmental glass. This is very silly and seems meaningless as something to judge by.

i dont even understand :(

>the character passes the test, indicating she integral to the plot
>more than just eye candy or plot devices
i'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and assume the author is not actually that stupid and wikipedia or gemini or whatever the fuck is just trash
>>

Actually I just realized I'm thinking about and responding to pop-culture idpol bait based on some no-effort google AI shit. I'm gonna go blow my brains out

>>24775239
you could get a lamp with an asshole

>>24775479
It'd have to be an underaged lamp with an asshole.

It’s far too much to ask it to be sexy as well. Most of them aren’t even that.

>>24775243
I actually agree female characters are underwritten and lack agency to the point the time we spend with them is just put there in order to tick a box for having women in it. So in that sense it’s true and there should be more lamps and less women. Maybe a trusty dog companion would add more to the story.

Background characters are just decoration. It’s mysteriously somehow different with women, as they expect to be foreground characters in every story. There’s no social movement for making expository characters more developed, or people crying for more depth being added to road bump henchmen or store owners and bartenders. Being utilitarian wallpaper is alright for men I suppose.

Which female characters pass both the "sexy lamp" and "man with tits" tests?
>>
>>24775235
as usual when a woman complains about something she reveals her true aspiration. women want to be, in life, "sexy lamps." they are naturally averse to "being relevant in the story."

Left Wing Pigs should have the teeth beaten from their mouths if they ever dare to speak in the presence of actual men.
We need a caste system where we measure the skulls and facial features of all people at adolescence, and then assess their worldviews through the use of fMRI questioning. Anyone to the Left of, say, Pat Buchanan will have their faces branded so that everyone can know they are a Left Wing Pig, and thus not allowed to have .any sort of opinion on any subject. They will also be forbidden to learn how to read, and we will include pictoraphic instructions wherever they are required.

Left Wing Pigs will lives of total subordination and slavery, being allowed only to eat a vegetable paste laced with highly addictive narcotics which will be kept in controlled stations by members of the higher castes armed with flamethrowers and microwave-emitting pain rays. Their women will be kept in centralized locations where they will access them only after scraping obsequious rituals in which they reaffirm their worship of their masters. Even then, none of them shall ever truly reproduce, as they will be sterilized without their knowledge and their women will be impregnated by the higher castes to gradually grind the inferiority from the gene pool through attrition.

After two, three generations of this we will have purged left-wing thought from the world at its biological roots, annihilated all lesser men who might think to permit women to READ of all things, much less to write. Everyone will be much happier, especially the numerous Left Wing Pigs who will not have been born.

There should also be a test called the civilization test, where all the characters live in a city built by men. The test succeeds when one character appreciates one man who spent his whole life doing a tough/dirty job that no woman wanted.
>>
>>24775265
This is patently false. You just want to escape accountability like every other non-white male demographic.

Ikr? Thats why I fuck retarded girls. At least they're honest.

>According to traditional Chinese and Japanese face reading, the eye is composed of two parts, the yin (black, iris and pupil) and the yang (white, sclera). The visibility of [...] the upper sclera is said to be an indication of mental imbalance in people such as psychotics, murderers, and anyone rageful. In either condition, it is believed that these people attract accidents and violence.[4]
