Backstory:
With the term "toxic masculinity" being thrown around in the gaming industry, we decided to look back at why, after years of violence and exploitation, the creators of God of War ultimately took the series in a different direction.

"Anger prevents love and isolates the one who is angry. It is an attempt to push away what is most longed for -companionship and understanding. It is denial of the humanness of others. As well as a denial of your own humanness. Anger is agony of believing that you are not capable of being understood or that you are not worth of being understood." - Bell Hooks
