I absolutely hate when shows do a "boys vs girls" episode and I'm glad we barely see that trope anymore.

Growing up, one of my least favorite episode concepts was when a show pit the male characters against the female characters because 90% of the time, it made for a terrible episode. In almost every one of these episodes, the main characters end up looking like jerks. And unfortunately, many shows I like or used to like had at least one episode based on this concept, from web shows like SuperMarioGlitchy4 (Fucking hated that 2019 episode), to overlooked gems like Sonic Boom, to more mediocre picks like All Grown Up, Big Mouth, and DARLING in the FRANXX. Hell, they even did a gender divide episode in X-Men: Evolution and it was absolute GARBAGE. And yeah, many of them end with the leads learning a lesson in equality or whatever, but it's still really painful to watch. Thankfully, that episode concept has been phased out of most modern shows with a few exceptions (We REALLY didn't need an episode like that in Amphibia.) Gender divide episodes are the worst. I don't want to see characters I like become assholes for one agonizing episode.
