Oh, wait. If you click on the image it's too small to be legible. If you click on the link, you get a bigger one.

Double-click on it ;)

No, the one you uploaded is too small.

And my screen is too small.

My only comment would be that a character without flaws is a boring fucking character, not a strong female character.

I love how material like this pretends that there is no such thing as a strong female character. get it? Because strong female characters can't be crazy or sexy or have ties to things. they can't be attached to men, because women is real life are all sane asexual people with no flaws, no problems, and who have no defining traits at all.

I want to send copies of this to every screenwriter - pro or otherwise - in the world. Pure awesome.

To be fair, the flowchart shows that a character needs to have flaws to be strong. Otherwise it'd be Supergirl.

To be fair, there's nothing in the flowchart that a strong female character can't also be crazy/sexy/attached to things.
