This secret after secret 3 is funny because I was very tempted to reply to that one with examples of media that hold up well and are more progressive than what we typically get nowadays.

Anyway, I think this secret is a bit tricky. There are definitely people here (as anywhere) who don't really understand that one special and unusual case doesn't actually invalidate the pattern and will trot out their wild story to contradict what was clearly meant to be a general statement about a dominant trend or whatever and not a claim that there is no situation imaginable where it doesn't hold.

But I've also seen secrets here claiming that something insane is true, or something that is OP's experience in one fandom is a problem of fandom as a whole and then the counterexamples that people produce from their own experience aren't actually outliers but contradictory data meant to make the OP think a little more if their analysis actually holds water or if they need to keep looking for a better explanation of the phenomenon they're seeing/if their experiences are as universal as they think they are.

Hard to say without reference to a specific case which category this falls under so I'm not sure whether to agree or disagree.
