Anyway, I don’t agree with the assertion that everyone who desires to tweak genre conventions (particularly stuff like proscribed gender roles) necessarily hates the genre.
You aren't wrong, necessarily, but in this specific context and situation, the people behind the reboot (and many others) do hate the genre as well as other genres and their conventions and that's the main motivator to change everything about them.
And you don't even have to hate something for being a "danger" to a franchise, tbh. There is a certain type of arrogance I see a lot on people who claim to love something while, at the same time, pretend that they understand the subject better than the author (e.g. Game of Thrones): then they feel entitled to change the original content for their idea of how it would be better and, most of the times, they ruin it.
There are a lot of factors for someone to radically change some lore that has been already established, and it's often one of three: 1. they hate the original content, 2. they don't understand the content or 3. they think they can do better than the author because they're obsessed over something and have proclaimed themselves as the owners of it, even above the creator.
In the case of many recent media reboots, it's actually the three of them: they hate something because they don't understand it and they think they can do better than the original author. So far, all of these reboots have ended up terribly wrong.
