i dont really get the text post that says "the magical boy anime fandom is gonna b the epitome of boys being glorified for things girls are made fun of for"? like how exactly, i dont see it. can you explain what exactly that person means? thank you!

What I get from it is that, basically, many women (and men) are made fun of for being feminine. Being girly is generally seen in society as weaker and submissive (just think about the phrases “like a girl” and “being a pussy”). A lot of people are trying to empower women to be comfortable with themselves and not feel like they have to conform to gender roles (even if there is nothing wrong in fitting a role as long as you choose it), but many people still believe that women should “get back in the kitchen.”

However, with the magical boy anime, it is most likely that the characters will be stereotypically feminine in an attempt to appeal to female audiences. Because they are boys going against their gender roles, the fandom is going to glorify them for their “edgy” attempt to subvert the patriarchy. With all past magical girl shows before, the girls have been expected to have their girly personalities and outfits, so no one really seems to care about it. The magical boys are going to be held up on pedestals for being comfortable with femininity even though the same can be said for the girls.

To be honest, I can just see this whole thing going out of hand, quickly moving from the empowerment of leaving behind gender roles and possibly exploring sexuality and gender identification to the continued sexualization of femininity and the glorification of men over women.
