@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
