i remember. it's called "infantilizing" and maybe also "dumbification". there's still one trait i can't name though...
people should start adding those to the tag so i can avoid it like plague. (￣皿￣)
Bimboificaction?
to be honest... reading her type of character always make me enraged and nauseous (literal physiological reaction).
i thought i could relate due to her traumatic background, but nope.
there are traumas that make someone intelligent and mature and independent and socially adept as a survival mechanism.
... and then there are fictional survival mechanism that makes a grown and supposedly "smart" royal woman dumb and inconsiderate and annoying as hell. AND THEN authors seem to always choose to make them "desirable" by SEXUALIZING them despite their BABY-LIKE apperance & immature traits.
i know just like men, women have fantasies, and *sometimes* that's what the shoujo and josei genres are for.
but i hate it when authors, in order to write those fantasies, disregard the realism, logic, character writing, and overall story quality!
hahhhh... seriously. this is why entertainment and art should be separated by clear boundary.
i keep expecting deeply human art when most of the things i find nowadays are no more than dumb entertainment... that's partly my fault, though......
is there a name to her character trope? so i can avoid it and save myself from this uncomfortable reading experiences.
