Don't underestimate nerd rage. I was in the Star Wars fandom for the backlash against George Lucas for the prequels. It has nothing to do with sexism, and everything to do with taking something people are emotionally attached to (rightly or wrongly) and doing a bad job with it.

Similarly, there was a lot of rage about Ben Affleck being cast as Batman. A LOT.

Are there a few sexist critics out there? Sure. But to say it's systematic or that's ALL of it is, well, that's ridiculous. There's way too many examples of the same thing happening to male entertainers in beloved existing worlds.
