It's funny because if he had actually turned into a cool person I bet this would retroactively have become a kind of fun campy picture. But really it's just a reminder of what a disappointment he's turned out to be.
Honestly there's nothing wrong with swashbuckling cosplay or dudes with long hair. It's just that this dude in particular happens to be a malignant sociopath and megalomaniac.
Maybe we shouldn't stigmatize those other things by trying to draw a connection between them and his overwhelming shittiness. That seems like confusing correlation with causation.
