Wizard at Large

I just, I can't y'all. I tried. I tried so hard. I love the world that Jim Butcher has built. I love the supernatural system and the secondary characters and the factions. I love everything about it-- except Dresden. Dresden, as a character, I enjoyed for the first few books. But as soon as Jim Butcher started doing more of the "nice guy chivalry" shit, I can't handle it. I pushed through the porn company story, hoping that Dresden's "nice guy" bullshit would have worked itself out, but then, in the very next story, there's Dresden, eyeing up a minor while chastising himself for doing so and reacting paternally towards the kid. Seriously? Can't Dresden just treat women as humans instead of some damsel he needs to save, or a carnal sex-vampire that wants the d, or an adolescent whose struggle to identify and express herself is somehow for Dresden's benefit? I know some of y'all will think that I'm just being an angry feminist about this, but I don't need that in my life. I'll go buy the Dresden Files RPG and tell my own stories in the wonderful Dresdenverse and leave the fedoras at home.
