the researchers did not explore the extent to which fans might have felt these characters to be poorly written or disliked for non-discriminatory reasons.
Not even sure where to start with this crap:
both 'benevolent' sexism (e.g. "a good woman should be put on a pedestal") and 'hostile' sexism (e.g. "women are too easily offended"). Next, they indicated how much they agreed with statements tapping into racist attitudes, such as "racial discrimination is no longer a problem" or "racial minorities are responsible for racial tension".
If this is all it takes to be a bigot I think I'm a trigot
and 'hostile' sexism (e.g. "women are too easily offended").
They just make up terms. Another great example is 'racial resentment', which includes such milquetoast beliefs like "blacks should make it on their own without special consideration".
Shut it all down. It's nothing but political propaganda.
It used to just be x-ism, with the subset specifically of "benevolent x-ism" getting named to explain to people how words that are meant to be kind are also damaging. Bigotry of low expectations is the most well known example of that. If you believe these things exist and were a problem, it was a genuinely helpful term for that.
Adding the hostile label to it is just lazily adding an emotional angle to it because they know x-ism has been overused to the point of people not caring about it.
So the entire "study" is useless:

Does not matter how bad this "scientific studies" are. Remember Obama calling upon the study saying one one in five women experience sexual violence.
I'm surprised we're not at 90% of women at this point
