@slapdash If i remember correctly i was talking about Yuri ( lesbian anime series). Funny enough Yoai (Homosexual male anime) is more popular with girls then Yuri is with guys so Yuri titles are often done very well because unlike a lot of gay romances in media there main target is not the opposite gender of the romantic relationship (typically) So the writing is usually very understanding. A example i use for the defrence between yoai and yuri is that in a yoai lets just say it dosent take long for sex to develop while in yuri ,like an old favorite of mine girlfriends, takes 57 chapters for them to kiss and although that dose not mean much it does tell you that there not trying to be soft core porn. On MLP i like how all the characters are extremely independent although you have to take into account gender populations in MLP are offset. though it provides a positive image when many characters work and live alone. ( sorry i had to cut my thoughts short character limit )

@slapdash Any way i think there is a great many of shows that simply do not show the female characters doing anything or show them being good for only emotional support such as Deathnote or better yet Bakuman ( if you don't like me referencing anime please tell me and ill find better examples its just that anime is a little more my forte) I think an interesting thing about MLP almost uses the characters faults as a base and builds there good qualities to build on that and this means if they fail at providing a good positive for the character the audience puts any future development in the positive. To be honest i don't think that MLP has good characters for women it has good characters in general. Recently i haven't seen to many male characters who gain much development. although this might be my own sexism kicking in. my favorite Rarity is a great example of a character which shows a empowered feminine role without being a completely against our common stereotype of women

@slapdash sorry for my lack of progression typing on this site feels really awkward for me so just look at the points individually. anyways a big problem with the industry is that it always goes to extremes and people always take what they do to the extremes. so unless your entire show has very independent women it seems like its just a character or an abnormality. Many of the shows that try to go all out for feminism they often get put on with the stigma of the extreme feminist. unfortunately that is goging to be hard to get rid off. im not sure if you read a lot of feminist literature but they use the term neuter castrate in full seriousness. You can probably understand why quite a few men don't care to learn about feminist groups cause it feels like they are not welcomed, though thats not giving them excuse but at least we can understand why are forefathers and perhaps a few contemporary male feminist felt awkward about the movement.
