You see this all over the fandom world. Men who only take male characters seriously, and women who only talk about the male characters they fancy. It's even more glaringly obvious in Homestuck where gender parity was baked into the source material right from the start.
There have been a few good threads on female characters on here, but they've got buried and there's still no search function. So I guess we could either dig them up or create new ones, try to keep the discussion going on here at least.
My all-time favourite character is Rose, and the most compelling subplot has to be the tale of the Scourge Sisters.
A girl stands in her bedroom on her 26th birthday. As she waits for the mail-centipede to arrive, her fingers twiddle with her long grey beard. The beard twiddles back.
