why is it so hard to accept that many women written by men are unlikably sexist characters? Why is it our fault for hating them and not the men's fault for writing them so badly? And how does this correlate to having issues with women if you can accept that the problem is that these characters aren't anything like real women?

The thing is that this is a perfectly reasonable response to the specific characters who are written by men as sexist caricatures. It's not generalizable beyond those characters.

The thing is that it's a widespread occurrence, just like sexism itself, and not confined to a few specific characters. It doesn't mean all female characters written by men are bad, but it's the same reason #notallmen is used in mockery. #notallfemalecharacters, no, but enough that it's okay to generalize in certain contexts.
