No no, you misunderstood a lot of what I meant.
Art reflecting society was kind of my whole point.
And I didn't mean changing the individual creator's way of thinking, but rather society itself. Art reflects society was my point, so if you change the way society views women, you change the way women appear in the art. My point was to put in new creators with new thoughts instead of demanding that other people change.
Does the media create stereotypes or reflect the stereotypes believed by the largest potential market? Make up your mind.
Edit: Also, that is how story works. Stories work to evolve the protagonist. Maybe there are multiple protagonists, maybe just one, it doesn't matter. The stories work to develop the protagonist, all other characters are accessories. Gender is irrelevent here.
