>What exactly makes Naruto's female cast more criticized than others?
I think it might be a matter of exposure, e.g. the "worst gateway" copypasta exists because Naruto is one of the most quintessential starting points for getting into anime, which results in way more people being familiar with it, which results in way more people noticing that the female characters are just eating up screentime doing fuck all when you could've spent that time focusing on characters who are actually relevant
