I do agree that female characters that are good at stuff get awful reactions from a certain group. Korra is a good example.
Caulifla in Dragon Ball is hated because she transformed into Super Saiyan very easily despite male Goten and Trunks doing it with even more ease a series before her
and of course Rey from Star Wars, even though I agree with a lot of the criticism she gets she still has plenty of backstory to explore that could justify her initial issues. Yet the hate is massive. Another good Star Wars example is Ahsoka Tano having a strong presence in SW media. Real fans demand Slave Leia instead of the two cool Jedi girls!
Many here mention Kirito and I would even throw in other unrepentant Gary Stus like Light Yagami and Kvothe. But I feel like these male characters don't get nearly as much criticism, In most cases they're even defended.
Korra has issues as a character, but I would never put her on the same league as Kirito.
