I think I should try this game at some point. I feel like it has always been there. I might be making up memories, but I think I remember always seeing this game listed in the games section on any Linux distro I tried even over a decade ago. While other RTS’ have come and gone, 0 AD has always been watching from the shadows.
I mean, there is definitely a crowd that don’t like women as lead characters. While not directly related to movies, just see how a bit of peach fuzz on Aloy upset people when they showed bleeding the new Horizon game. And that’s not poorly written game or character.
Something like Captain Marvel does suit your argument. A poorly written character and movie, so people who criticise it get lumped in with the “women are bad” crowed. But there definitely are people who just hate things that put women in the spotlight.
