She seems pretty sympathetic for someone who is also pretty mean

That's pretty much the case for everyone in the books that has a POV and some people who don't (though I could never really feel for Victarion, he's my one exception, I hate that guy). Esp in the show where a lot of the bad behavior for most of the characters has been softened.

I think because a lot of the arguments towards Cersei are gendered is where my problem is. Like 9/10 you'll see people bitching about the fact that she has fans, but no one bitching about the comparatively just as bad or not worse male characters who also have fans.

Examples.

Tywin Lannister emotionally abused his son, had his son's 13-year-old wife gang-raped and forced him to participate in the rape. He slaughtered two entire families, there's even a nice little song about it. Has stans.

Littlefinger forced a 12-year-old girl into prostitution and is manipulating and molesting another. Has stans.

Want more?

NEITHER of those characters have the same level of support that Cersei has. Like people may like Littlefinger as a character because he's able to manipulate people, but they're not going to get upset if something bad happens to him. Likewise with Tywin, who I don't think *anyone* begrudged Tyrion shooting an arrow into his bowels.

Next?
