  • An exploration into what seems to be a forgotten element among modern-day protagonists: Real Character Flaws. Gone are the days of the Byronic hero. No more James Bonds or Scarfaces. Now is the time of flawless heroes and dull "empowerment" campaigns.

    "In Hollywood's quest for diversity, they have forsaken character flaws. If a writer portrays a female character as feeling afraid of something, that means they are sexist and think all women are weak." Great video!

    When are we going to realize that being a racist is far from the worst thing a person can be. If a murder can be a hero so can racist

    In the Teen Titans original series they had a hero who hated Starfire's kind, even after she saved his life. They just view him as a good guy with a flaw in his opinions, not an outright bad person.

    The movie Gran Torino covers this exact topic really well, though the racist character becomes less racist throughout the movie.

    I remember an episode of Teen Titans where they meet Val-Yor who hated Starfire because he was racist towards Tamaraneans due to what I'm assuming to be species rivalry.

    A hero forced to defend a people and land they he hates, no loathes. Now that's some story potential
