Reply to comment by smesch83 in Big Bang Theory, worst character? by Head-Drag-1440
I think it's pretty much universally accepted that Penny, Bernadette, and Amy were more normal, functional, and attractive than Leonard, Howard, and Sheldon, respectively, while Raj and then Stuart are presented as classic losers. A claim of misogyny can't be sustained when the premise of the show is that all of the male characters are inadequate.

I think it's like with Ross in "Friends" being the "nice guy": you can still say "the female characters are the worst characters" even when they are more accomplished or "nicer" or less controversial in-universe (...the same way people don't like "nice guy" Ross, or "nice guy" Dawson in "Dawson's Creek" etc.)
