What's weird about that camp is that I can't figure out what they stand to gain by preaching stuff like that. Let's take the oversimplified scenario those people like to put forward where male nerds apparently run the world and that male nerds are currently the driving force keeping misogyny and racism and all other sorts of bigotries alive. Why do they think that making jocks the socially dominant ones again would be an improvement? The defining features of macho jock culture are strict adherence to gender norms, valuing masculine above feminine, and keeping your place in a strict hierarchy that you're born into. Isn't that the kind of thing they stand against?
She looks like a gargoyle to me, anyone else see it?
Of course, that's probably the case. I just don't get why they'd be approving of it if they claimed to hate "over glorified corporate icons". Can anyone honestly claim Steve Rogers is more over glorified after the Hydra Cap shitstorm as opposed to any of the substitutes who's "super smart, super athletic, they're well off, popular at school, every other hero babies them, and they face transracesexim JUST LIKE YOU!"?
I think she's going for this, but even more quirky!
In their head cannon, they become the damsel in distress despite constantly railing against the trope. The handsome prince (jock) will come in beat up the ugly monster (nerd) and save the princess (them), sweep her off her feet and go live happily ever after. Of course this will never happen because most harpies look like harpies and jocks have better prospects, it's why only the icky nerds hit on them in the first place.
That's a whole lot of pent-up rage at the fact that some people go about their lives without poisoning every thought with intersectional feminism and dindu apologetics.
Except that Edna, for all her quirks (NO CAPES!) was competent in her job and clearly respected.
