    There isnt. Ive talked to white nationals, gamer incels, and the most liberal guys and they all like female leads. If you think hating female leads is normal they youve been misinformed. It is more complex than “these people are evil, they hate woman”.

      Hoo boy. I don’t want to seem like I’m tearing you down for having a different opinion, but you understand i can’t take a random experience youve had, talking to someone ive never met as evidence you are correct, right?

      Your argument here is what’s known as an informal fallacy, “anecdotal evidence”.

      Those people you talked to have opinions, and what they provided you was their opinion. The fact they agree with you doesn’t make your position stronger.

      Please think on this. if your goal is to debate people with quality arguments then you must.

        I agree that my experience is amecdotal.

        I’m not asking you to take my word as fact or evidence, but instead encourage you to talk to people all across the US and see if the theory matches the real world. I think it is not helpful to say “Gamers hate woman” or “the right hates woman”. It’s a simplification that encourages bias rallying. I don’t think we can solve our problems without the support of those we disagree with, and better understanding those groups helps.

        I’ve met a lot of men and woman who are sexist and racist and everything bad under the sun, but there are just as many grey people in the middle as there are in the edges. Thats my own claim, and you shouldnt take my word for it and instead talk to others yourself.
