Watch The Tough Girl Character Trope in Media Explained Video Essay

21 sec read

As a writer, this sort of video essay is important for me to remember to avoid easy to fall in tropes for my characters. However, as a consumer of media, I find this sort of thing interesting too.

You see it time and time again, but this is the first time I’ve ever really thought about it.

See? Learning can be fun.
