I love Arthas as a character, but I really hate him as a person. I know that people go to great lengths to defend him, but I can’t. He was manipulative, untrustworthy, and very arrogant.
Misandry does exist. It’s called toxic masculinity and is largely practiced by men towards other men.
Some women also practice it, but usually as a result of patriarchal influence in their lives and the forces that inform them.
Misandry is a man being raped and told “it’s not rape, you’re male” by their peers. Misandry is a transman being devalued for their gender and/or sexuality. Misandry is “gay” being synonymous with “stupid” or “lame” in so much of our ongoing dialogue. Misandry is the value of a man as a partner or person being linked to the size of his genitals, his rejection of femininity, and his ability to demean women.
Misandry is “meninism”, “anti-feminism”, and Conservative, anti-LGBTQ groups devaluing the men who choose to be feminists and allies.
It’s a real issue, and much like misogyny is the result of our hitherto male-dominated culture.
We need to accept that and deal with it in constructive, liberating ways.
When those who complain people break lore by being powerful now have to deal with the PC leading a large and famous organization and wielding a well known weapon.
Who is not following lore now.
