A Film Producer Is Tweeting Actual Female Character Descriptions To Show How Terribly, Laughably, Offensively Bad They Are

So you want to write a movie. You’ve got a plot with three acts, an interesting location, and a pretty cool dude who’s going to take the lead on this story that’s totally not about your life but about something different. One problem: You’ve got to write a convincing female character, one who will jump out of your imagination, off the page, and into the hearts and minds of casting directors everywhere. But what if you’ve never met a woman? Don’t worry, neither have the people who’ve written the character descriptions being lampooned by Ross Putnam, a producer who’s tweeting them to let the world know that these character bios are bad and whoever wrote them should feel bad.

You’ll never know who wrote these descriptions–Putnam changed all character names to Jane to protect the guilty–but after reading just a couple you’ll know never to refer to a character only as “buxom,” “stunning,” or “smokin'” to let the reader get the gist of what she’s about. Female characters: they’re people too!

Incidentally, what does “athletic but sexy” mean?

As adorable as she’s what? Check out a few more.

Head over to Putnam’s Twitter to see the rest.
