Oh of course the incredibly stupid stereotype


The whole thing about Amberle and Eretria hating each other and fighting over some dude. It perpetuates that incredibly stupid and untrue stereotype that women are always hating each other or "competing" over the same love interest. Makes me sick to my stomach. How pathetic that in the 21st century it's still a damn concept to actually write female characters as getting along and even liking each other or being friends. Or even just seeing women as actual human beings.

Sadly, it's not very untrue.

Exactly. This is true 90% of the time in the real world. Calling it a stereotype doesn't change the fact that it happens all the time.
