The ‘brooding romantic hero’ myth has a lot to answer for and has to be traced back atleast as far as the misrepresentation of Heathcliff as a romantic lead in film and television adaptations of Brontë’s complex tale of generational trauma, class and racism.
One of the things about criticising games like Disco Elysium and trying to be clear I'm not saying it's bad or people are bad for liking it is, I think you could absolutely make a Papers Please style spoof of DE called "You Can Fix Him" that would at least have a shot at unironic popularity.

Our culture loves toxic men and pushes their narratives while telling us that it is the only real source of meaning and i am so bored of it.
I just avoid most stuff like that now.

I say "himpathy simulator" about disco Elysium and people say "no but the main character in DE is very clearly an unlovable asshole".

The most progressive, avuncular, reasonable men will become implacable enforcers of patriarchal order if a tranny fails to speak to them with sufficient deference.

More than one of my relatives from Ireland, Scotland and England, probably the Welsh and French ones for good measure, is revolving at high speed in their graves at this, and I am half expecting at least one aunt to rise from the dead just to give him a "stern talking to" about misspelling "Scots".
We must preserve the solid Scots-Irish American culture of the MacHopi and FitzCree clans.
