who cares ,to someone else what you listen might be something tryhard or Bollywood or wierd music that nobody else other than your kind will like.
Though I agree that man should be manly,but based on character and conduct;a macho body builder acting like a whiny bitch is the worst. You live surrounded by an anglicized world that labels anything diverting from the anglicized traits in culture/conduct and practice as wierd, you yourself live in an amalgamized version of political system infused with toxic masculinity from an east European Soviet macho ideology,far cry from the sophistication of say Tang empire .The old cpc member who aren't aware of the softpower influence and appeal of the trends in east but still holds fantasy about the old communism with less east asian traits inflicted by soviets ,probably.
Over Macho culture is unattractive,dumb,childish , where insecure man feel the need to constantly prove themselves.
It's better to balance than copying the toxic masculinity. Japanese are so restrained, disciplined,ice in the vein-like mental strength,Japanese are fact far mature in conduct than those pretend to ridicule anime culture in real life.

I think the Chinese one is actually the cringe fest,delving in copy of western masculinity concept, a wannabe rambo,while the korean one is manly with elegance,very natural to their cultural and genetic makeup.
Chinese people found new version of enlightment and pride in their culture when they saw refinement of themselves in japanese culture ,art,food,architecture and on their own body through korean Hallyu ,all of which China is trying to emulate,and for good.
The Chinese gov is more likely cracking down on fake trans trend,where men act like woman,dress female clothes and act like them rather than less masculine man.This is Pr disaster,western media makes it like imitation of western butch masculinity and crackdown on less masculine or less macho man ..
