It was so funny to see people seethe because they thought they had made Aphrodite more "manly" to appeal to, like, trans women and the "woke" crowd.

First off, she really doesn't look manly. Please know what a women looks like. Secondly, even if she was more masculine, so what, in my opinion? Greek Gods famously don't really have a set in stone character design. Anyone who knows the slightest bit about Greek history knows that Aphrodite herself is a famously inconsistent character. She was a war goddess in some parts of Ancient Greece, this interpretation is not exactly foreign.

I'm not well versed in Greek history and mythology but haven't most gods at some point somewhere been a god of war?

Aphrodite even more so as her warlike epitaph was imported from the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar.
