Its not a issue of whether or not female characters get backstory. Its an issue of whether the character in general is important enough to have a significant backstory. The fact that they are female in a series where females are not even 10% of the characters and are not used on the level as the males is entirely separate conversation. Fact is that if this series was one where we had the same bad guys for years which was also featured in the storyline as well as real life and not what it currently is, an arc by arc bases. Then yes I can see the argument being made for greater information on character. I think far to many people are used to seeing such things and then feel that every series should work the same way. Sternritter are only featured in this arc which to all calculations has been has been going on for 3 yrs but in universe has only been 7-9 days. How much backstory is anyone planning on getting in that time. There is also the fact that most of the sternritter are either dead or on there way to being so and that was always gonna be the case especially considering this is the last arc. So I would keep focus on some of the mainstay characters we have had for years as opposed to what amounts to canon fodder much like is seen in filler arcs. I see alot of expectations for characters that arent never meant to last long and utter surprise when you dont get any information on them.
