sharon carter is a genuinely well-written female character, especially given how little screentime she’s had in the mcu. she has principles, integrity, and she has a moral compass telling her what’s right and the grit to chase what’s right even when it’s hard. and she has these layers!!! she’s compassionate. she doesn’t want to be considered as ‘relative of peggy’ but as her own person. she’s cheeky, she’s caring, she’s unapologetic. there is some serious complexity and depth here for someone not even considered a central character.
and yet fandom disregards all of this, dismissing her as a roadblock for their ship and hating her for it. this brilliantly written female character – the sort of character for which people are ALWAYS crying out – and you (and it is YOU; not the writing) reduce her to this.
