i believe men (although not smart enough to have come up with this idea on their own), made the boy characters with depth on purpose and variety, to deepen the not like other girls and most girls would continue to say stuff like “oh i’m so much like gabriela from high school musical” meanwhile some of us were relating to to zeke (lol) but like i thought i was odd for relating to mainly boy characters turns out they’re the only ones with more than 3 characteristics
this can be a wayyyyy deeper thought but essentially they had girl feigning femininity while being shamed for liking male characters who remind you of urself because that’s not what girls do and no other girls are talking about it… basically making the feeling of i’m not like other girls rot and lay dormant while not feeling feminine enough bc ur representation of your personality is only in men
