Fricking journ*lists. She said there were pockets of those things in the fandom, she just preferred the 'light' bits. She didn't say anything about them being responsible for the film's failure.
The film sucks and she's a decently large part why, being director and a writer for it, but she hasn't blamed it on the fans, art least not yet. Even the usual redditors can't come out in full force to yell about it. You'd have to go somewhere like ResetEra, MetaFilter or RPGNet to get the full 'if you criticise this in any way you're a bigot' reaction.

I think the main problem is that they managed to make Captain Marvel such an unlikeable b-word, and Brie Larson went around doing interviews like she was being intravenously fed lemon juice, so nobody wanted to go see a sequel about this pain in the butt character.
Nobody knows the Photon character well enough for her to carry the movie, and while Kamala Khan isn't that bad, again - teenage girl character? From a TV show? Not enough.

Captain Marvel just remains an unknown. There's plot reasons she shows very little personality in the first film, but the audience doesn't even know her powers, let alone who she is. And watching a joyless loner with infinite amounts of generic blasty powers isn't appealing.
With The Marvels, you've got that, plus a character you've only seen as a kid, so basically the other two leads are from the shows only. So the non-consoomer either has no idea who they are, or knows that they're from something they'd need a subscription to see.
So you've got a blank and two unknowns, and even the audience who saw the shows, it's not like they're fan favourites; Monica says something very offputting in Wandavision, and Kamala stans the unlikeable Captain Marvel and is generally annoying. Intentionally, but that doesn't help.
There's so many reasons to not be interested in the film even before you get to its quality, let alone the aggressive idpol aspect.
