Yeah, they lost me the moment they said Tsukino Usagi was a one-dimentional character.
Hmm, these people really need "Tropes Are Not Bad" linked at them. All I see are character types with mostly sometimes snarky labels, are those supposed to be bad? But I think the authors of that flowchart lost their point halfawy through...
Also, I *love* it how a female character is only "strong" if she's the bloody protagonist. So, there is ABSOLUTELY NO good secondary female characters? As in, they can't possibly exist? Which basically means that if you write a story with a male MC, ALL your female characters are shit. Yeah, I don't think so.
