I think my favourite thing about starkid is that the female characters actually feel like characters. I think it shows especially in Della- she's such a messy little gremlin. Usually people would make the self sacrificing female character some sort of holy virgin, but this woman is a disaster, and that's what's great about her. Lex? Poor little meow meow. Steph? Absolute simp. Emma? No thoughts, just weed and dogs. Becky? Wet cat of a human. Even looking at older stuff, like trail to Oregon or twisted, or even me and my dick. Their female characters are just as silly and loveable as their male characters. Is it the bare minimum? Yes, but it's still great.
