Toxic masculinity looks at the whole of society, video games just happens to be the topic. People, institutions, media, etc. reinforce cultural values. Video games are not exempt. Describing social phenomena is not a moral panic.
Men are seen as everything! Heroes, villains, geniuses, fools, violent, kind, serious, silly, warm, cold...men get to occupy the full spectrum of human identity and personality. In other words, MEN ARE SEEN AS FULL-FLEDGED PEOPLE.

Oh my god dude. Women are almost always defined in media in relation to men. They are typically wives, daughters, mothers, girlfriends, but rarely the focus of the story, rarely the ones whose humanity is being explored and validated.
