That has to be the most absurd fucking thing I’ve ever heard.

A female character having a love interest doesn’t make her any less of a strong character.

Her lack of love interest didn’t affect her in any way in the first movie so why would her gaining a love interest be any different???

A WOMAN DOESN’T NEED TO BE SINGLE TO BE STRONG, YOU FUCKING IDIOTS. A strong woman can be IN LOVE and still be STRONG. The relationship isn’t her only fucking defining feature, which is what actual shitty writers (NOT JOSS WHEDON) do to female characters.

Joss wrote Buffy. He wrote Willow. He wrote Zoe. He wrote River. He wrote Kaylee.

JFC some users of this website are fucking garbage.
