The format doesn't seem to be inherently. Have you tried interacting with fewer dudes?
This meme format is inherently sexist. Anytime you have a meme format that has both a man and a woman on it, and one side is going to be the "bad" side, it's always going to bring out the biases of whoever is creating it.
They are literally just looking at each other. If anything she has a more annoyed look on her face. He's thirsty af and shes rolling her eyes at him.
1 Semantics, but that doesn't sound "inherently" sexist to me.
2 I'm pretty sure it just makes more comedic sense to put the unexpected interpretation on the right (or women's side), so the "bad side" is different depending on the topic. I personally see this meme more often with the man being a surface level fan of something with the women being unexpectedly deep into the fandom. Like, among the earliest known edits (according to knowyourmeme) is the man just liking sports games with the women liking soulslikes.
