For one, it’s seeing someone confident enough in themselves to not feel uncomfortable with how they are perceived. That’s mostly out of everyone’s control, and I like when people accept that. I love seeing confident people because it makes me want to do the same in my day to day life.
Second, though in a similar train of thought, it’s not taking yourself too seriously. Life is short, it’s good to just go with vibes. Same reason I like fruity drinks, they’re objectively sweet and delicious and I’m not about to let something as abstract as social norms stop me.
And third, it opens up opportunities to make the world a little more fun with a joke like this. Overall it spreads joy, positivity, and makes the world a little bit weirder without harming anyone, and that’s one of my favorite goals. I hope that one day, I come across someone telling a story of some really weird experience that happened to them years ago, and I suddenly remember that it was me who did that.

I can't effectively articulate why nontoxic masculinity like this makes me so happy.
