I think the worst offender is kind of the Super Understanding Girlfriend who just shoos her serious boyfriend off into the arms of the gay sex, because, what? That's not to say it can't be handled gracefully or anything, but the fact that it's become a TROPE is alarming to me. (In a lot of ways I actually prefer Magical Girlfriend/WIfe-less Verses, because at least then you can picture them happily having their own love affairs in the wild blue yonder. Sigh!)
But I wish that there were more bandom writers embracing the awesome girls we have, not least of which because some of them are my FAVORITES and I want to read about them.
