I'm not sure about "who show up the inadequacies of 24th century guys", but romanticising history is present in any society that has history, and androsexual people who prefer manly men are sure to romanticise whatever manly archetypes existed in or can be invented for that age, so at least the first half of that seems inevitable as long as "romance novelist " is still a concept that exists in C24, and they know that gangster rap culture was a thing.

Why do you ask? It seems like just gender-issue-baiting.
