Big Bang Theory, worst character?

Submitted by Head-Drag-1440 t3_z7kzpl in television

So I'm finally watching Big Bang Theory all the way through. There have been times where I can't stand Sheldon. He's so entitled and rude. But then there's Bernadette. Not only does she treat people like shit when playing games, but she's treating Penny like shit when getting her a job AND the hiring manager is scared of her? I don't think her character is funny at all in this regard.

Who's the worst for you?

Penny. Just couldn’t stand her in the end. She was probably more annoying than Sheldon.

Reddit is so male-dominated that these kind of questions often lead to guys venting against the female characters.

that being said: BBT was shitty at writing women/female characters, so I do understand if the women end up being named the worst characters.

still: I think most shows have a female "worst character", not a male one (because sexism in the writer's room) and most viewers are more annoyed with bad female characters (because sexism in the fanbase), and in the end, you can gain reddit karma easily by posting "Let's face it: In Star Trek, Beverly Crusher is even worse than her son" etc.

I think the last 5 years of the show everyone of the characters were insufferable.

Why are you wanting to watch the show all the way through? I can’t think of anything you’d be missing.

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.)
