for those who don't remember, Retchen is (obviously) a 
author who wrote a while ago a book called "Manhunt", which (obviously) was a pretty shit post-apo story where testosterone turn men into male feminist gorilla apes 
and the main character that are two (obviously) that need HRT to stay alive (muh metaphores) (obviously).
the whole thing was weird coomer shit that also for some reason had J.K. Rowling 
hide ina castle and die in what is quite probably some of the worst dream-fulfillement self-masturbatory fantasy i've ever seen.
there's also another book by the same author called Cuckoo 
, which is also shit, has a bunch of conversion camp stuff going on in it, an obsession with women having their periods 
and ends with like two thirds of the cast randomly ing out 
or fricking dying lol

Why is this so common? fallout new vegas especially. Real women don't get OBSESSED with this genre like they do. it's just a regular subgenre, interesting sometimes but kind overdone.

my guess: trains are generally neurodivergent nerds, thus into technology and history so sci-fi appeals to them. add in some flavor about restarting society in rarted ways and it's a powderkeg of euphoria

Neurodivergents also appreciate the social acumen of most women and maybe a curiosity to cvvm as a woman

There's a number of trains really into post-humanism, altering the human body with technology or divorcing from it with being uploaded. It could be connected to dysphoria, tech obsession, or just exposure to sexy robots.
So they seem really drawn to cyberpunk. Not sure about the post-apocalyptic part, though.
