It is precisely because he is so overly, comically masculine in the old games, that the contrast becomes so glaring and stark.
Kratos used to be driven by one thing: revenge and raw violence.
The idea that such a man would somehow mellow into a modern day male feminist and a good father figure as well as picture perfect husband with values is ridiculous.
Men in the past, especially in the Mediterranean region, were incredibly misogynist. Does this man every man was bad? No. But especially when you look at Kratos, a clear-cut deranged psychopath (in other words he can't change) the implication that he would somehow be okay with his wife having fucked around before him is insane. In the not so recent past men used to marry 12 year old girls to guarantee their virginity.
The fact that leftist writers use such icons of violence, machismo and killing and probably rape culture and turn them into bearded teddy bear daddys with a soft spot for extramarital sex is the reason why its so instinctively stupid to a lot of people.
