Yes, it would still be sexist if it were the other way around. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a meme with this format which didn’t have a “good” and “bad” side.
Well, it would be difficult for a format like that to bring out the biases of meme creators.
One of the reasons this meme format is problematic is that this is a screenshot from “500 Days of Summer” which was a film that was wildly misunderstood by misogynists. The entire point of the film is to show the perspective of the male character, which villainizes the female character when she breaks his heart when she dumps him. But by the end of the movie the viewer is supposed to realize that she did nothing wrong and just wasn’t as in to him as he was into her.
Incels and misogynists everywhere misunderstood the hell out of the themes and message. So it’s not a great movie to take a meme format from.
Not everything is sexist queen 💅
It’s fish in a barrel.
You don’t always hit, but the odds are stacked heavily in your favor
Ok. This meme is.
Wut? How? This meme was originally gay lol
If it were the other way around, would it be sexist?
Is it required that any meme with a “good” and “bad” side have no demographic distinction between the sides?
It’s not that this one example is like this, it’s that it seems to always be one way around and not the other, with this meme format

I’m genuinely curious what you’d think if they were both thin white straight-coded average-height women but with different hair color.
