Can someone who's a "Gilmore Girls" fan offer up a better encapsulation of their Cousin Oliver character that isn't so revoltingly anti-STEM? Considering the dire lack of women involved in STEM fields, it seems unhealthily awful to cast aspersions on a female character for simply being enamored of math and science.

You think Togepi in the first season of the Pokemon anime would count as an example? Being added in the middle of the season, generically cute, and exists as a reason to chop off Misty's arms and stunt her personality?

Can you write it in a way that illustrates how Togepi is "an attempt to liven up an aging cast with a character the younger demographics can relate to", rather than it sounding like you're just complaining?

howabout we call it "(Character) Design Dissonant" since cousin oliver is to direct of a mention and is only the examples of a cute kid upsetting the character roster by playing into different fanbases.

Can... Can we possibly get a slightly less revolting page image here? Please?
