like I said with Kamen Rider, it has a lot of years where the males were the lead, and it grew to have a large fanbase of young males.

I think you are forgetting kids don't have the same amount of acceptance to the idea of canon as adults have.

I doubt any kid actually praised Korra for being the natural extension of the fictional rules of a fictional universe they would most likely are not that aware of.

But like I said before; kids are not that stubborn.

Now I'm not saying that everything can just be changed willy-nilly, because realistically of course suddenly having a female main Rider immediately is impossible and Toei's infamous pig-headed attitude is all too familiar to us by now, but I'm saying kids should not be blamed for a system completely outside of their control.
