I think I understand what fridging is just fine. I simply do not agree that every instance of something bad happening to a female character within the context of a super hero story constitutes fridging.
I absolutely agree with this. It’s like the tendency to say every Original Character MUST be a Mary Sue.
I’ve never liked how some people have taken fridging to such lengths that you can’t do ANYthing to a female character, else you get called out for it. And it can frequently just be an emotional reaction to being a fan of said characters.
There IS a fine line between bad things happening to characters, and actual fridging, and that mileage is going to vary for everyone, but sometimes it’s just an overreaction.
And I’m doing a terrible job of explaining my thoughts, and have begun rambling, so shutting up now. >.<
