I don't know about you guys, but this feels much more like a page that slams the girls for their negative qualities rather than generally discussing certain aspects of their personalities and what they do. It seems way too fixated on saying "Blossom is a completely self-centred snob who deems her ego as more important than those who depend on her, Bubbles is a klutzy moron who can't make her way around the simplest thing, and Buttercup is a grumpy bitch who only smiles once or twice throughout the whole series." Any fan who has actually watched the series properly will know that those descriptions are not true.

Yes, Blossom can be vain and she does sometimes do things that have more merit for her than others, but she also does quite a lot of selfless acts throughout the show as well, and she does care about those she is doing good for. If she fit description the page is trying to enforce, she would be a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing (for acting sweet and polite to her family and the people of Townsville but only using it to hide an arrogant and narcissistic nature), a Jerkass (for having said arrogant and narcissistic nature) and a Jerk with a Heart of Jerk (for only protecting Townsville because it's her job and it fuels her good recognition). If she was any of those things, I would question why Bubbles and Buttercup would even look up to her in the first place.

Bubbles is definitely a Cloudcuckoolander and sometimes her naivety does more harm than good, but come on! She's only five years old! You can't slam someone that age for acting that way! Plus, there are some episodes where she does prove that she is pretty smart in some respects (though not the extent of Blossom), such as her ability to speak Spanish and the way she passes that test in "Him Diddle Riddle". If she was utterly stupid, there is no way that she would have gotten that high mark.

And finally, Buttercup can definitely be bad-tempered on occasions, but I don't think she frowns enough to be a Perpetual Frowner. If any of you had actually watched the show properly, you'd notice that there are plenty, PLENTY of instances where she shows a genuine smile! And when I say plenty, I mean there will be a moment in EVERY SINGLE F**KING EPISODE where she shows a genuine smile! So stop enforcing the idea that "occasions when she smiles are very, very, very rare" and actually do your research before shoehorning a trope in. She doesn't even qualify at all in the reboot; it's not even downplayed there.

What I'm trying to say is, it doesn't feel like to me that many of you have actually watched much of the series. This is just a judgement I'm making; you might see it differently, but you're all putting the girls in a negative spotlight and constantly lampshading their flaws when you needn't do so. Anyway, I've rambled on about this long enough, so all I want you to take away from this is do your homework properly before forcing in negative descriptions and putting in unnecessary tropes that have no relevance to the characters.

So I see some examples of the girls regarding the 2016 series were deleted due to them being "bashing examples." So should they be nuked or added back/rewritten?
