>What exactly is a girlboss character
A "girlboss" in the common parlance is a female character who mainly exists to put male characters down, humiliate them, and make them look bad. Not every competent female character is a girlboss.

Yes.

>>
>>741314937
A girlboss does not have to be ugly. Princess Peach in that Mario movie wasn't "ugly" regardless of what you think of her redesign.

A girlboss is a total subversion of the damsel in distress trope. She is empowered in a very feminist kosher sense. She can be conventionally attractive, but her strength, agency, and competency is her main selling point. She will often effortlessly upstage the male hero in the story, and immasculate him every chance she gets. She often has no journey, and is naturally talented and gifted at the start.

Bayonetta may honestly fall under this category to some degree. It's why the faggot brigade was frothing at the mouth to co-opt her as a feminist/lesbo icon. The only place she falls short is that she flaunts her sexuality so much. Obviously she falls out of the category when a game comes out to actually give her a sort of hero's journey, and especially when they hard coded it into canon that she pairs off with a man and has a kid (this is seen as her submitting to a man).

The East makes technical girlbosses all the time, but your typical girlboss enjoyers are often put off because of how much emphasis is put on their physical appearance, and feminine behavior. Not feminine behavior in the sense that she is basically a stand-in for a traditional male hero, but feminine behavior in how she walks, talks, and especially how she treats and regards fellow male characters.

I find that the 'girlboss' character is actually rarely the main character.
She's always some sort of side character that is obviously the creator's waifu (if male) or self-insert (if female). This character basically never loses a fight, is always right, and makes the main character look incompetent when they are around. They're also abrasive and act as if everything they do and say is correct and everyone is just dragging if they don't agree.

She rarely if ever has a love interest.
>>
>>741314862
its cringe when they be shit talking men for no reason, there is no back story to their trauma with men or anything. Its cringe when they are mary sues. They dont have to be sexualized it has nothing to do with that. And there is nothing wrong with Boss Bitches. It's when its condescending when its annyoing. When they are patronizing. Any patronizing character you will want to kill it because you are the main character and they are not simply because of that, who is that NPC fuck to tell you what you can or cannot do you the player decide the fate of the world you shape the world however you see it fitting.

I hated Paladin Danse in Fallout 4 even if his story aint bad because he told me if I join the Brotherhood of Steel he expects me to follow orders. I just saved his ass. He is the incompetent one, he can go fuck himself.

And I'm playing as a Raider boss bitch so I dont listen to anyone.

A good female character does cool shit and doesn't feel the need to elaborate.

A bad female character does cool shit, but then has to start a diatribe about how women are always underestimated and oppressed by men, and act snarky and hostile towards everyone for no reason, like they're infact scared and insecure about themselves and have to project strength instead of simply being strong.

The "girlboss" archetype, as it curdled in the public consciousness, isn't about dominance itself. It's about the performance of dominance without the corresponding stakes. A truly dominant woman (think Ripley in Alien, Major Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell, or even a villain like Lust from FMA) earns her authority through competence, sacrifice, and a personality that exists beside her power. The original, pre-2015 girlboss was simply a woman who succeeded in a male-dominated field by being ruthlessly efficient.

The cringe sets in when the character stops being a person who happens to be powerful and becomes a walking PowerPoint slide about female empowerment. She doesn't outsmart the boardroom, she delivers a snappy one-liner while the soundtrack swells, and the narrative bends over backward to prove she's right, never allowing her to fail meaningfully.

The "woke" accusation sticks because these characters often feel less like organic creations and more like corporate HR mandates. They are sanitized, sexless, and frictionless, never allowed to be messy, vain, cruel, or wrong in ways that matter, because that might reflect badly on The Message.

A girlboss is a character that seems to have no reasonable genesis as to their skills, and causes people to just fucking kneel. Their qualities include the fact that they were strong all along and didn't need to work for it, they just needed to realize that others had been holding them back all along.
She then usually has some weird, snarky diatribe about how it was the arrogance of men that enabled her victory.
Bruce Wayne spent 10 years traveling the world begging and bribing whoever he could to train him in the skills he would need to become his ideal Batman. And still he has shortcomings.
By comparison, Saga Anderson from Alan Wake 2 is out of the car in the opening for like 30 seconds before her partner is fellating her Detective skills and the local cop is embarrassed he assumed she was the assisting detective instead of the lead.
It's exhausting and paper-thin

When the dominance is purely self-serving and comes from a place of ego rather than competence. There's always an aspect of being patronizing and usually one of emasculation of existing males in the cast (but not always, there's exceptions to every rule).

Take the biggest, dumbest retard you can imagine, who still thinks that he's cool, but who everybody actually hates. Somebody who in any kind of media from the 80s or 90s would be one of the antagonists who later gets his comeuppance at the protagonist hand (or even by the universe itself crushing him with bad karma).
Now, make him a woman, and maybe even the protagonist, and make sure he doesn't ever get that comeuppance. Congrats, you've now got a girlboss.
>>
It's not about a girl being competent/capable in general. She has to let everyone in the immediate area know that she's better than them, and that they're wrong for even thinking about trying to suggest otherwise.

Competence + Arrogant Hubris = Girlboss

they are not even competent because the player is within a game possibly the most competent character, in very few games NPCs outclass you first try.

I can only think from top of my head: Riku on the 1st race in Kingdom Hearts in Destiny Islands. He wins because his AI knows the layout very few beat that 1st try, so he wins and he gets to name the Island (and by extension the space ship) not you. Only on another playthough you can consistently wreck his ass in 1 go.

In games with girl bosses you out do the annoying hubris bitch and she still complains about how useless you are because you are a man. This obviously annoys everyone and I bet most gamers would love to have the option to kill them for their insolence. Removing annoying NPCs from a game permanently is satisfactory.

When a female character is elevated by making males seem incompetent and weak by comparison. For example when Nathan was shown getting absolutely manhandled by Nadine; not through superior fighting technique which would be acceptable but because she's just so much of a strong independent woman that she can physically shame a man who has had 20+ years of developed strength.

Your example from Alan Wake 2 doesn't really align with this. She's been a detective for four years and has telepathy, in a universe where supernatural abilities are fairly standard. She's obviously going to have a reputation as an amazing detective.

The characters talking about how she's exceptional is partially to establish this element of her power set. It's not an example of a girlboss.

Patreon / fanbox archiver; subscribers essentially jailbreak the contents for the public to see + preserve them (since once paywalled content is deleted, there's no way to recover it). They pretty notoriously have a habit of going down, because people flood them with absolute waste archives like 4k members-only irl basedjak reaction videos from youtube channels with 23 subs, AIslop subscriptions with archives in the 1,000's of just samey genned slop, and other proud winners of shit nobody cares about awards (that suckers still pay for and archive) that just waste server space and bandwidth,so costs go through the roof fast. That, and the sitehosts haven't exactly been functional people either - people are willing to wait, but the previous main one (kemono) has been down for months now, shut down all communication channels so people can't even chip in to help and he's not been paying his server bills so links are dying.
First was yiff-party (furfags started the ball rolling because they NEEDED to see those paywalled obese belching dragon toebeans) then it was kemono-st (covering essentially everything other than furshit and 3DPD, but also had other sites like subscribestar / discord servers etc). coomer-st is the one for 3DPD onlyfans shit, pretty sure that's down too. So people have been waiting a while for someone to step up and make the next replacement.

The one who despises me has offered up a delicious roast hen. "Give me that hen! I'll have it first!" said Anon. I tried to offer him the leg, but he devoured the whole hen and I was the one left with the leg. Certainly he had horrible diarrhea, because despite it being well prepared, the hen was laced with ultra-nefarious laxative. Anon sharted so profusely he became a tree with branches on it.

"There's plenty more where that came from!" said my delicious flat chested enemy. I've seen her kind before. Good dental, college degree. She wheeled out a fine assortment of things that vaguely resembled things I wanted but upon close inspection were, to put it bluntly, worse for wear.

"Look at that fatass, Anon. He eats everything without examining it." one poster said. "More slop! More slop! All slop is good slop!" said Anon, reaching after whatever the one who despised me offered to us. Needless to say they all became trees that night. Ugly ones, like giant weeds.

"Girl power!" said one Anon, before collapsing from shart induced exhaustion. "Women should be in positions of excellence for my boner's sake!" Said another. A horrible sight, but hey, it was funny.

Bayonetta's dominance and assertiveness is effortless. She doesn't need to convince you that she's tough and it's not performative, she's just in control and in charge because of confidence and drive. This is appealing to men AND women because it's how women want to exhibit their own strength (it is undeniably feminine) and it's generally admirable behavior.

A girlboss has to be overly aggressive and has to have her dominance and assertiveness done in a masculine way (because feminine dominance and assertiveness is sexual, and this character is often deliberately sexless), often at the expense of other characters. So she comes across like a butch woman that's trying too hard to be tough in a male way, which is just cringe and unappealing. Worse than that, she often exhibits traits that are consider "toxic" or "negative" masculinity, but it's okay for her to do it because she's a woman, which makes her both annoying to women (who at least outwardly don't like those traits) and annoying to men (who would get crucified for acting like her). For example, having a hair trigger temper where she beats the shit out of people for saying slight insults to her, which would be seen as insecurity and volatility in a man but for her it means she's tough and doesn't take shit (so you're supposed to admire her for being an asshole, because woman).

Girlboss =/= woman
Girlbosses are strong because everything around them, including the laws of physics, bends around them to make them strong while they themselves stay dumb brats.

The frumpy broad from boarding school decided to dye her hair blonde and slut out her 20s to unsuspecting performative men. Time is a cruel teacher. It gives the exam first and the lesson later, and the girlboss soon faced her worst nightmare; becoming 40.

>(typing) "To the Spineless, Pud-Fingered Executives of the Gaming Industry,

>Listen carefully, because I’m only saying this once: I am *sick* to death of your pandering. Every time I boot up a game, I’m greeted by some (whiny mocking voice) doe-eyed, heaving-chested mannequin whose entire personality is "please objectify me." (normal voice) Well, fuck that. I want women who’d rather stab a man in the trachea than bat their lashes at him. I want female characters who aren’t designed for male consumption--characters so abrasive, so unapologetically *themselves*, that they make your average gamer recoil like a salted slug.

>Here’s what I demand:

>1. No More "Likable" Women. - Likability is a cage. Stop pleasing men.
>2. Ugly, and Proud of It. - Not "quirky ugly." Not "hot with glasses." I mean *actual* scars, asymmetrical faces, resting bitch expressions carved by a lifetime of not giving a single shit. If her design doesn’t make at least 30% of male players go "ugh, hard pass," you’re not trying hard enough.
>3. Sexuality on *Her* Terms. - If she’s flirty, it’s to manipulate. If she’s naked, it’s because armor is impractical, not because your art team has a latex fetish. And if she *does* fuck? It’s messy, awkward, or downright transactional. Men can't fuck right, make her gay
>4. Zero Redemption Arcs – Let them be bastards. Let them double down. Let them *win* while still being intolerable. Men can go fuck themselves.

>(frothing) The next time I see another bland, fuckable waifu in a triple-A title, I’m going to personally email every exec involved, a *detailed* list of their personal failings. (sobbing) Look what you made me feel about myself! (throws up)

is a normal female character. Archetype is common, role fits. Story itself might be mediocre, too long, boring, whatever, but that's not a shoehorned in mary sue created by wokies. She is a regular womban character with the motherly/caring blueprint. Plenty of girls like that in human myths.

A girlboss is a dominant female character for no reason other than being a girl. If you can't explain why people follow or admire this character beyond her rank or position in a hierarchy, she's a girlboss.

I typically define it as the Girlboss having character moments that define her "badassery" by specifically highlighting her competence by making the male characters incompetent.

The Brotherhood of steel is a military order with decades of tradition, of course the random nobody(you) is expected to follow orders from the more experienced and higher ranked soldiers, that’s just how any military around the world works. If you hate following orders, why the hell are you even joining a military faction where following orders is the number one requirement?

We all like characters who are decisive, competent, and generally have good motives to do what they do. None of these things are bad in and of themselves, and having either sex have these qualities is usually a good thing. A woman can have all of these traits and still be considered not a girlboss.

A "girlboss" is a derogatory term for a woman who has all of those traits, and arrogance/narcissism to go along with it as long as long as the target of said arrogance/narcissism is male. A girlboss will be the "knight in shining armor" towards another female character or child, show nothing but empathy or a willingness to protect and care for them, but as soon as an adult male character enters the stage and is either on-par with her abilities or is her lesser, she will antagonize/degrade/rebuff/or completely ignore them regardless of what can be brought to the table. Any "help" from a male character perceived by a girlboss is at best inconsequential, and at worst something to be talked down to about/made fun of/completely dismissed because the angle the author is going for is "this female doesn't need nor want any help because she's got it under control at all times". It's a savior-fantasy from people who want gender roles reversed, and that is the only justification for all of said girlbosses superiority. This is the MODERN definition of a girlboss.

There are girlbosses who have been done well or correctly in the past however. Sarah Connor from Terminator 2. Ripley from Alien and Aliens. Samus Aran from Metroid. Joanna Dark from Perfect Dark. Aya Brea from Parasite Eve. The list goes on, but these characters back during their times were just "women doing a job that men typically did, and sometimes better" and not girlbosses. In todays term for "girlboss" however, they tend to have many similarities that girlbosses do, but lack many of the qualities that other girlbosses of today do. Namely said arrogance and narcissism.

I do find movie Peach to be kind of ugly frankly. There's something really off about her head shape or face proportions or something. Not that she's hideous or anything, but she's very homely in a kind of "local girl that doesn't look great but at least she isn't ugly and you'll have to make do" kind of way

Eastern "girlbosses" usually lack anywhere near as high degree of obnoxiousness and narrative "self-centeredness" though.
Whereas the western ones tend to wallow in it like pigs in shit.

Femme fatale is not the same as girlboss. Girlboss is usually written by some meopausal woman that feels like her entire life is shit because of men. They are basically characters that compete with men in a masculine way, but outperform them in every aspect of whatever they compete in.

If they were written by actual women most of the time, at least some of them would turn out interesting in spite of it.
Trannies whose ideal is Xena Warrior Princess but it's themselves, is where most of this shit comes from in gaming.
