Fair enough - I actually dislike the term "toxic masculinity" and tend to never use it because it is too vague. But Jackass felt to me like a case of "I know it when I see it". That's an extremely nebulous argument, though, and I'm happy to concede that it was a poor choice of words.
To be more specific, my biggest issue with Jackass is that they glamorize excessive risk taking. Lots of broken bones, concussions, drug addictions, drug overdoses, etc. came from that show - and IMO they are lucky that it wasn't much worse. [1]
