I would say that, to be fair, the original meme is based upon somewhat toxic gender stereotypes. It basically boils down to:

"Girls are emotional about fictional things and boys are outwardly stoic but internally emotional about nerdy shit. Lol."

Usually done by basement dwellers and incels based on mental gymnastic session they just experienced.

"to be fair" is usually used to justify or defend something. That just sounds like another reason why this meme format is shit unless it's purposefully used to deconstruct itself, commiserate between genders over something, or play with expectations without belittling either gender.
