Nah the ability to write stories isn't tied to gender
Daron herself is just bad as it because she's a high school drop out that probably cries if you tell her to improve something because she thinks she's being bullied.
She probs fucked her way to her job
It's not surprising the story fell apart. It was not the story she wanted to tell with that show in the first place. Disney execs cobbled together the magical moron princess from another dimension stuff.
is that a woman?
The Cuntugo took over her show and wanted to make it about a racism allegory and her lesbian experience to france
Pretty much.
They live life on recruit difficulty so they have little to no interesting life experience to draw from.
Generally true for most people who pay to study the arts otherwise they'd be doing something more productive with their time, but especially true for women creators. Luckily not a true constant, just a massive majority.
Makes it all the more admirable when a woman is good at storytelling honestly.
best episodes outta this guy.

I still think she lost control after season 3. Everything after was just so different it couldn't have been the same person leading it.
Because they're white
Based.
More like the SoCal circlejerk
Character conflicts with threats physical or metaphorical are the backbone of storytelling. Star vs only had hints of conflicts, but never dedicates to any of them as well as it could have
>The Butterflies vs toffee
>Monster arm
>Stars jealousy
>Evil queen Eclipsa
All missed opportunities
Women don't understand what it means to have to search for meaning in life. Their meaning comes from securing a mate to have a family with. Or in the case of feminists, to die alone surrounded by empty wine/pill bottles. That's why all female-written properties are primarily about relationships. This isn't at all a bad thing as relationships are just as key as goals, if not moreso, to understanding a character's motivations and inner drives. Having a relationship is not the same thing as having a "Quest" however, and this is where it lacks as proper fiction.
Something like Harry Potter pulls a fast one as the plot is really about Harry's relationship to Voldemort. It tricks you into thinking there's a quest but there's really not. There's just a troubled, malignant relationship that must be resolved or it will devour everything good. Steven Universe does the same thing. It's about Steven's dysfunctional relationship with his family. It's ironic that the series is ending at what your average guy would consider to be the beginning: Steven going on a quest to find himself. But a women is going to be to be at a disadvantage trying to understand something so intrinsically masculine.
Which is why Star fell apart so hard. Endless relationships in the stead of goals and story and plot progression. Holy shit, why are we so bogged down in the story? Ignore any semblance of plot, like Ludo or Toffee! We need more relationships! Until finally we're left with a bunch of crazy bitches screaming at each so hard they fail to understand that they're bringing about the fucking apocalypse.
The few episodes I've seen of "The Owl House" don't fill me with much confidence either. Even "Ducktales" suffers from this. It's not about the many quests they go on, it's about all of the positive female role models they meet along the way! The many, many, many positive female role models. So many powerful women in control of their own destinies! And it never gets tiresome or predictable!
>Why are women so bad at storytelling?
Because they are the inferior one of the only two existing genders.
You sure sound like a sad sack
They get their jobs thru nepotism
Go back to plebbit
>Men don't understand what it means to have to search for meaning in life. Their meaning comes from finding mates to have sex with. Or in the case of Incels, to die alone surrounded by guns and/or toy figurines. That's why all male-written properties are primarily about trying to get laid. This isn't at all a bad thing as having sex is just as key as goals, if not moreso, to understanding a character's motivations and inner drives. Trying to get laid is not the same thing as having a "Quest" however, and this is where it lacks as proper fiction.
What's the difference between nepotism and networking? Are they the same thing?
>This is what incels tell themselves to help them sleep at night
too based for Yas Forums
Damn, you have a point. Think of all of those "saving the princess" stories
If by "based" you mean "stupid dumb dumb doo doo opinion"
Yes, nepotism is just a cope for the socially inept
He’s not wrong though; most women live life on easy mode and cannot comprehend true struggle. Females have more inherent value than males for the purposes of reproduction; hence men are forced to fight for their right to exist in a way that women aren’t.
I keep hearing that “we need to let women tell their own stories” but they’re all boring and shallow.
because they mostly care about couples?
>they’re all boring and shallow
That's an overgeneralization
because 99% of them have no real ambition
hmm no, that's not the case at all. Not very clever, user.
female hands typed this post
This guy gets it
Can't you just say *that* particular woman is very bad at storytelling?
just jokes
What about Sugar and Contugno?
Cotugno overrides Nefcy and Sugar was good
>Contugno
Not a showrunner, I don't know or care.
>Sugar
She can tell a story. The story she has to tell is of zero interest to me, but I can at least acknowledge that she has the barest technical ability to do it. There is a plan.
It’s not that they’re bad at all storytelling, it’s that they can only write specific kinds of stories. There’s a reason pretty much all female-created media is about relationships; because the female psyche is focused on maintaining social cohesion in a group.
Women can write fluff (hence YA lit being dominated by female authors) but they struggle with anything truly deep or existential because the problems they face just aren’t on the level of men’s.
Why aren't the relationships that keep society together considered as deep as personal quests for power?
Because everything a woman does is about herself and has to be a reflection of her own worldviews and feelings. Women aren't capable of objectivity and distantly making art that doesn't have a specific connection to their inner selves.
What kind of stories are more objective?
Because the arent the relationships that keep society together, they're the relationships that keep the local book club from falling out.
>What is Harry Potter
>What is Frankenstein
>What is Full Metal Alchemist
Is not women, is the fucking industry that hires bad writers that are incapable to publish a decent story outside lf the medium, and the stupid go on forever business model of TV
What about Dana Terrace?
Sexist
They hated him because he spoke the truth
I think it has something to do with their general desire to have things be "realistic".
They don't realize that people dont generally read stories because they're realistic
>Be princess
>Have so many princes vying for your attention that you're turning down dozens a day.
>Biggest problem is choosing most alpha chad.
>Be prince.
>Have to compete tooth and nail with countless other chads.
>Have to slay an actual fucking dragon in order to win the princess.
>She leaves you anyway for some bard.
No yeah men and women totally face the same struggles.
Especially people who hire women just on the basis of their sex
Bad storytelling isn't tied to gender. There are just a lot more male writers in general, which is why the bad ones are less noticable.
None, no storybis objective, even official history isn't objective
Are you implying that Harry Potter is not literally just High School drama shit with magic thrown in? Harry Potter is the DEFINITION of vapid relationship-obsessed storytelling that female authors get flak for.
>based on their sex
>not based in the number of their online followers
One job user
Building on what others have said, women's strength is in relationships. This is important, it allows them to be caring wives and mothers, but at the same time, they prize interpersonal thinking over the logical. How many women have been great philosophers or theologians? Why do you think St. Paul tells women to remain silent in church? They just can't process things at that an angle that doesn't involve relationships, and will attempt to do so to disasterous results.
>Be princess
>Has a hard time on which one to mate
>Being forced to marry a specific person by your parents or someone outside of your control
>Having people decide upon every miniscule of your lifestyle
>Who is Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz
>Who is Isabel la Católica
have you seen the shows women watch?
bunch of drama shows that just go for emotional impact without any real reason to
>They just can't process things at that an angle that doesn't involve relationships,
You can argue that men can't process things that involves relationships, which is why their character dynamics tend to be shit
>monster arm never came back
such a big fucking disappointment
>Who is Ayn Rand
Not really, HP is just a chosen one story with the twist that the chosen one is not a OP MC like in so many other books about chosen ones.
