When was the last time you came across a soft spoken and submissive female character in Western media?

i can't think of any within the last 50 years. Even in the 1990's and 1980's female characters in Western media were pretty much all girl bosses.

Because you're removing their agency

They're fictional characters. They don't have agency to begin with.

Okay, positivist.

Brim, of course the characters are creations of the author's agency. That's not the point. It's about perceived agency within the story.
