Fandom Problem #14,937:

"TOXIC MASCULINITY IS EVERYWHERE! WHY ARE MEN AFRAID TO BE SOFT AND KIND?!"

(Soft and kind gentleman character appears in media)

"HE MUST BE TRANS OR GAY! CISHET MEN DON'T ACT THAT WAY!"

Y'all are enforcing toxic masculinity. You are telling cis men that only toxic assholes are masculine, and insisting that gender neutral traits such as being gentle and kind are feminine traits.

You created this problem.

I don't completely disagree, but this is making me think of the "You can't ship this pair of guy friends, you'll make man think being friendly is gay!" And like, fandom, where most of these headcanons/arguments are coming from, doesn't have this type of reach in society.

Like, society at large think very alike on this, that soft guy = gay guy, but I don't think you're talking about society at large, you're talking about fandom people. Sorry if I'm misreading thought
