>>92636612>it's an /r9k/ threadSU has lots of problems but its characters are way more multi-dimensional and flawed than most kids' cartoon characters, and if you look for it, you can claim all characters are a ripoff of some other character. The SU characters all have major differences from the characters people say they remind them of.
Most of the characters /co/ go nuts over are generic self-insert characters like Marco, Dipper, Wirt, Finn, etc. who range from shitty to mediocre and are pretty much the same character. Most male characters are just not that well written either. Dipper got more attention than Mabel but his arc was pretty shitty too and kept circling to "muh Wendy muh spaghetti spilled" which was shit. The only character who was decently written in GF was STan who was a male character but that was one fucking character.
Meanwhile a character like Star Butterfly like her or not is about as complex as any male character, she suffers and has flaws she pays for.
Most cartoon characters are not wrriten all that well or their shows jump the shark and they turn to shit, it's not a male vs. female thing. However most writers are men and it's true that people often can't write characters they see as different from them in some way well.
