>>55869297Almost all fanbases have some inherent misogyny because almost all fanbases are male dominated.
Women are taught from an early age that liking certain things is wrong. So they turn out bland because any quirks that would've made them interesting were filed off at an early age.
When they ARE actually allowed to participate in something, it's seen as strange or novel. There's a part of their brain that's associated the interest with negativity, so they're battling those feelings while being treated differently, so they have trouble showing more than a surface level interest. They get called fake by the tryhards, the negative association gets reinforced, and the cycle continues.
TL;DR: It's not just pokemon. People just suck.
