#i can see klaus busting into diego's room two dresses in hand and moaning about not knowing which one to wear to the disco

why has it become a popular thing in the fandom that diego is the macho sibling of the group, drowning in toxic masculinity? sure, he definitely has an inferiority complex and some serious anger issues to address, but let’s also remember Diego:
Cherishes and values his mom, even when people around him seems to only see her as a robot and therefore less-than everyone else, he treats her with kindness and respect at all times
When nobody could give less of a fuck about Klaus, he actually chased him into that veteran’s bar and insisted he talk to him about his Feelings
He’s also the one to go talk to Luther about his feelings in season 2 when the latter was having his existential crisis
Didn’t even bat an eyelash when Klaus revealed the special someone he had lost was a guy (”what was her name?” “his name was Dave”), just followed that up with saying that “Dave must’ve been someone pretty special to put up with your weird crap”
When the woman with the kid in the bowling alley confused Diego and Klaus for husbands, instead of getting all frazzled and “NO HOMO”-ing himself out of the situation, he proceeded to have a hypothetical argument with Klaus on whether he would ever go out with him if he ever were to go out with a man
