FEELS BAD, MAN- Decades Of Mockery Has Made Male Comics Fans Extremely Wary Of "Fake Geek Girls" (YaBoiZack)




While there are some legit Geek Girls a lot of the present ones are simply on the populist (comic book movie) bandwagon. Zack points out that girls used to be one of the biggest critics of guys who were into comic books. They told the guys it was kids' stuff. And as pointed out in the comments on You Tube, it's probably because girls are forced, biologically, to grow up faster than guys. But these girls have missed the point about the good story telling, the moral and practical lessons often conveyed, and the artistic skill. And so males are still wary of girls when it comes to comics. Action or tech oriented stories do not fit into typical girl interests much either.

I would guess that a lot of the current woke female writers at Marvel and DC came originally from the view that comics were kids' stuff and did not respect the material. It also happens with the TV science fiction shows, including with the woke male writers too. They see it all through this disrespectful lens. Even if they may have watched some of the material in the past they likely saw it as something silly, not in the same way as serious-minded fans might. And thus these writers then butcher the IP to suit themselves (their SJW activism) which is unwise and telling.
