Is that the reason there was suddenly a gigantic push to start attacking and shaming anyone who liked anime girls? Instead of telling real girls to improve their personalities, they attacked and shamed guys for liking anime girls.

I saw an interesting comment on another similar topic today, that I hadn't thought about in precisely that way. When it comes to fiction, men largely want aspiration/inspiration. Women want representation. If a man sees someone better than them, they want to better themselves. Women don't want to see women better than them. Many want to see "It's Literally Me™" doing all the things they do in their boring lives.
Our rather feminized society hates things like anime girls because, unlike females in modern Western entertainment, they hold up ideals and are portrayed as something that would take effort to do. It's not all bitchy drama and putting the Patriarchy and Men in their place.
It's the basic progressive/communist mindset, where anything not of the hive is an enemy. Anime girls are not what they want modern girls to be; thus, they are the enemy and must be destroyed. It's really that simple. They're not with them, so they're against them.
Back when AI started taking off and giving us glorious visages of gorgeous women en masse, women on twitter tried to shame men's behavior by throwing out AI generated images of handsome men.
Naturally, it didn't work. But it shows how women operate mentally; they expected men to be intimidated, whereas most men who see who see stuff like that just shrug and move on with life.
Women look at beautiful women and feel intimidated. Men look at attractive men and typically go 'Nice gains, brah'. We recognized that alot of that shit takes hard work and dedication(when natty), and often respond with respect and admiration.
Whereas, if you want to see some blood in the water, throw an attractive women in a social group of 'normal' women, and watch the fur fly...
