While true - the 80s did give rise to the hair metal, effeminate looking rock stars.
Glam rock existed long before hair bands. All of those '80s bands got more arse than a toilet seat.

Modern Hollywood is allergic to money, fans, etc.

Many probably still could if they had a mind for it.

Who is the target audience for He-Man, and when did they start asking for this?

Hair metal wasn't gay, so much as flamboyant masculinity
Glam Rock with Bowie and such was objectively gay
Hell, I'd wager Bowie would proudly admit that.

Do you guys not know what flamboyant means?

Randy Savage and Brett Michaels were giving two very different looks. Masculine wasn't really Michaels's, et al, style.
You can argue, correctly, that there's a confidence in pressing those gender barriers, but it's in no way "masculine" as that word is commonly known.

Most of those bands were influenced fashion-wise by David Bowie, the New York Dolls, Kiss, Alice Cooper and others. Ratt and Motley Crue really took the stage dress thing further. The Shout at the Devil Motley fashion style was, as they've said, "Mad Max meets Escape From New York." I've never cared for the hair band label, the term didn't exist contemporaneously. But thrash and grunge bands weren't pretty enough to dress that way and get pussy so the term got tossed around as an insult.

Influenced, absolutely
But ziggy stardust was very gay, and he was gay in that persona
Hair bands look super gay in retrospect, but so did most shite in the 80s
During that era, people didn't look at what they were doing as anything but masculine
When that sentiment began, the era ended

I just had the idle thought that someone is going to put Clavicular into an AI version of He-man. And, done well, could be a really funny riff on current popular culture.

Remember when John Francis Daley said this about the Dungeons & Dragons movie, and it wasn’t remotely as bad as he made it out to be? I think this is just bait.
Might be wrong though.
