Also, Don't Go Dissing Miss Piggy

Been a fair amount of discussion of overthinkingit.com's terrible female character flowchart. Ignoring all the other forms of fail other people have mentioned, can I just add that I find it hilarious how it manages to completely fail to convey it's own message?

Because, even if you ignore everything else, I'm not entirely convinced anyone looking at this mess of a chart is going to conclude "Wow, female characters really are badly written - why, you can fit almost every female character into a mere seventy-seven broad categories!"

Point. Especially when you consider that the MBTI tests manage to group all possible personalities into sixteen types.
