I love when the greatest form of defeat is bringing an “emotionless” man down to his knees with feeling. Sure, a lack of empathy and compassion can drive a man to do great things. It IS the idealized form of toxic masculinity.
But then to turn it on them? Open their hearts to all the beautiful things in the world and let this new knowledge drive them mad (even though their logic tells them it shouldn’t matter)? An attack which they have no defense against, due to their own choices?
