It's true sadly. The manga is heavily critiqued nowadays, beacuse people have issues with the treatment of it's female characters.

I mean, people tend to hype up everything about new hit shōnen series. To be honest I’d say Gintama has the best female characters

3 years ago, whenever you mention Jujutsu Kaisen in the shonen discourse, people will particularly praise the show for its strong female characters and it kinda made sense why people would do it. 

Now, I hardly see any praise for them. Majority of the people are saying Nobara gets shafted and sidelines just like female characters, is it true manga readers.

Dunno about revolutionary... but I love Nobara and Maki and despise the moaning big titted goodie two shoes that we usually get in shounen. Like Orihime in Bleach, which is a shounen with a fair range of female characters for all tastes, btw.
The reason I hate the fragile stereotype in shounen is because it usually doesn't fit the plot. Bleach, for example, if you're weak, you're dead meat. MHA, if you're weak, why tf would you want to be a hero? There's no place for dead weight in most plots but it's always the moaning girl. Don't men need help at some point? Why must it always be the girl being protected? To hell with that! Thank God for strong females and vulnerable males. Those exist as well and representation matters in anime just as much as it does in whatever else. I still haven't recovered from Midoriya's rescue OP... too many feels for both him and Ochaco and the whole gang tbh, k, I need a tissue.

I guess many of the people who say that they are getting shafted are female themselves. I particularly don’t understand the whole logic behind female representation, I mean they are just fictional characters right ? And there are several characters that got shafted who were male too like nanami and todo or the principal who got killed after shibuya arc we hardly know anything about them aside from their abilities though we did got the principal’s backstory, I personally think they are not that relevant to the plot and it is not easy for the author to look after every character they make it’s pretty hard for them to do so and in a weekly serialisation it’s even harder. The women must know that not every character can be fleshed including the female cast.

It is depressing how the hype turned out for Nobara. She is still one of the greatest female shonen characters: she is a tomboy hybrid that still appreciates her feminity, and judges people based on their bullshit and not on their surface identity/gender. It’s just depressing to me, I freaking love her so much.

I am not arguing that there are other strong female characters in the show, and I didn’t even suggest Nobara was a good character just because she was strong. My point was her glory was squandered and wasted. The way she lost is not characteristic of her at all. First, she has already had experience fighting dangerous special grades up close at this point. In that fight, she HAD to keep her distance in order to win. The conditions of victory were already set once she created distance. Second, Goji is her teacher. He is the most powerful cursed user. There’s no way he wouldn’t train his students on the importance of not just rushing into battles head on. Third, the implications of her technique should’ve been addressed by Gojo and the other talented/knowledgeable cursed users as an extremely effective method of attacking cursed users like Sukuna, since it pierced the soul. The fact that her tech also relies on her direct connection means prolonged fights aid in her benefit, so there’s no reason she’s want to rush fights unless she’s being careless, which makes zero sense due to my first point. I hate what they did to her,m. She deserved a way better situation than what she is in now, and the way it happened is just ridiculous.

not gonna start a discussion on gender with you on an anime forum, so I'll explain this once, as this is something I ALSO had to confront and deal with, especially during my teenage/young adult years entering into my 20s. Assigning all the dogshit characteristics a human being can have like weakness, inability to emotionally regulate, inability to stand up for yourself, being conflict avoidant, being more emotional and less capable of rationality, etc... to femininity and women, and all the good traits like confidence, assertiveness, decisiveness, responsibility, acting on their beliefs, etc... to masculinity and men, says something about YOU, and the way YOU were raised and socialized around women, and the area YOU live or grew up in, and says NOTHING about the biological reality or social categorization and stigmatization of gender.
