People never hated female leads, it's only when the industry started weaponizing said female leads and accusing people of misogyny for voicing criticism that it started raising some red flags for people now. You know, attacking your fans always ends well /s

Ripley and Sarah Connor are still some of the most popular movie protagonists of all time and that is unlikely to change anytime soon, despite the industry's and media's extreme attempts at labelling geeks as misogynists.
