I hadn't explicitly followed it, though ONTD does appear on my friendsfriends and so I'd by happenstance caught a picture of her in her tomboy mode. I thought little Shiloh rocked the look, and I was happy she was being given the freedom to exercise it. I didn't look at the comments, precisely because of the risk of gender-policing fail as you mention.
I once built a miniature tank (more like an APC, since it didn't have a gun) out of Lego, and I wasn't criticized for masculinity so much as for glorifying violence.
