Here is the way I look at it.
Traditional "female centred" pop culture aimed at girls and womanchildren is complete and total shit.
It always has been. It always will be. Everything from disney princesses to harlequin romance novels to chick-flicks to pink sparkly toys has been shit so cringe and pathetic that it makes the basest fucking pulp comic/exploitation film look like high culture. Its always been a vicious circle of hack marketing speds changing generic products to "GURLY GURLY PINK SPARKLE PRINCESS GURLY" or whatever to have them stand out, spin it as a massive marketing success when dumb boomers are tricked into paying more for them, and then enforce this mindset on every product imaginable, which has happened one way or another in every cultural field imaginable, even beyond pop culture as shit like the fashion industry demonstrates.
This has been something OG feminist groups from the freakin 60s were pointing out and advocating be dumped and forgotten, usually in favour of just adopting the same shit traditionally aimed at boys/manchildren without alteration, since that shit atleast had the lions share of worthy concepts and aesthetics and themes.
Had the woke speds within the creative industries actually had a shred of sincerity about their "EMPOWER WAMMEN!" schtick, they would have accepted this and worked to either completely excise every vestige of the "GURLY STUFF NEEDS TO BE GURLY!" mindset of dumb producers and dumber boomers from the properties they worked on or had influence over and remake it with the same mindset of ordinary/"male centred" works.
Instead, since none of them give a damn about the cause as I so often like to sperg, they demanded traditional "boy oriented" pop culture be forcibly changed to resemble the shitty ass princess/harlequin romance/chick flick/pink sparkly toy schtick that had been such a complete embarrassment to humanity, since doing so would net them not only applause from other woke morons, but the possibility of lucrative job roles as "inclusivity consultants" and the like, not to mention the prestige their "transformation of the franchise" would confer upon them.
To cut a long story short, there was far more money/asspats/status in cannibalising popular "boys" franchises than in reworking far less popular and respected "girls" stuff or trying to advocate for girls and womanchildren to drop dumb girly shit in favor of less dumb boy shit, even if these things would do infinitely more for the cause they claimed to believe in
