The pejorative use of the term, then, is mainly directed at writers who do not give these female characters more to do than bolster the spirits of their male partners. In December , Slate ' s Aisha Harris posited that "critiques of the MPDG may have become more common than the archetype itself", suggesting that filmmakers had been forced to become "self-aware about such characters" in the years since Rabin's coining of the phrase and that the trope had largely disappeared from film.

While he coined the term to expose the sexist implications in modern culture, the "phrase was increasingly accused of being sexist itself".
Backlash occurred when many well-loved female characters were placed under this trope.

Augustus Waters from the film version of The Fault in Our Stars was given this title in a Vulture article, [37] in which Matt Patches stated, "he's a bad boy, he's a sweetheart, he's a dumb jock, he's a nerd, he's a philosopher, he's a poet, he's a victim, he's a survivor, he's everything everyone wants in their lives, and he's a fallacious notion of what we can actually have in our lives.
