Blair Sandburg is not, by any stretch of the imagination, 'exotic'.

Likewise Daniel Jackson is not 'willowy' or 'frail' or anything similar. At no point in the show's run (or even in the movie) could he be accurately described that way.

Ditto for Ezra Standish.

And let's not get started on the whole subject of competent, self-sufficient individuals bursting into tears at the slightest opportunity (be it running out of coffee, stubbing their toe, their favourite pot plant dying...).

Doesn't reading something like that just make you want to go "Have you actually *seen* the show?"?

And the one I was ranting about today: writing misanthropic characters (or those who only respect persons they consider to be their 'equals') as misogynistic. Notably Sands, since '...Mexico' is my main fandom right now. Post-movie he might very well be distrustful of any woman who tries to get close to him (for very understandable reasons) but there's no evidence at all that pre-movie he discriminates positively or negatively on gender-based grounds.
