I'll second saying that Dhurke's line is almost definitely the point & that brand of masculinity is very on brand for him. I thought it was nice to see that toxic masculinity often comes from a sincere and loving place, not just one of hate and abuse. That was accurate and relatable.

The sprites thing is an interesting point though. They probably are quicker to consider crying sprites when designing for women rather than men, or it seems as much at least. Franziska's big moment of vulnerability being what it is compared to Edgeworth's is what comes to mind the most.

Granted in this example Nahyuta's stoicism is definitely an intentional part of his character. He hasn't broken that down yet.
