They would argue that men only see the sexual aspects of the characters, as if you can't think a woman is hot and like her character at the same time. Honestly it's not even that the new model isn't sexy, it just looks so shit lol how can anyone defend that
This wave of feminism is the result of deep-seathed insecurity. During the 90's and early 2000's fictional women were everything feminists claimed they want: Smart, beautiful, proactive and charismatic. Instead of feeling uplifted by this aspirational characters the feminists tried to bring them down, they declared them a conceptual betrayal. They realized they couldn't live to such expectations, so they bitterly added them to the pile of "male fantasies" and "unrealistic expectations". When men watch capeshit we want to be Batman, Thor, Iron man. When women watch capeshit they want She-Hulk to be a emotional mess like them, they want Harley to be strong and independant but also for her to keep her bpd personality and basically making the same mistakes, they want validation.
