I'm not willing to give "traditional masculinity" as a synonym for "manosphere." Even if they are trying to just use the manosphere, a word that used to be a bunch of specific niche groups, as a broad term for shit like "likes the UFC" or "uses Draftkings."
But a lot of that list is good to see, as you can name at least one major woke controversy behind most of them dropping.
Its trying to tie it all to Andrew Tate, because he is the "core" of the manosphere in the Leftie media world, which means its all about misogyny and evil.
Despite of course that in the original incarnation of the "manosphere" that Tate would be hated by literally all the various warring factions. TRP would reject his faux nonsense, MGTOW would call him a simp, MRAs would see how far back he is pushing men, etc.
I would compare it to the portrayal of Ben Shapiro as the biggest alt-right person ever during the pre-trump years despite the fact that he's considered a lame duck at best if not outright controlled opposition by much of the right wing factions that have some population on this site, or to people using that one GGrevolt guy (Not Ethan Ralph) who got arrested for revenge porn as the face of the entirety of the Gamergate movement despite the fact that he hates gamers.
I do see some people discussing fears about Gen Alpha still looking up to Tate as an icon, but I feel that warrants it's own post.

The adding of the word manosphere is clearly the author editorializing to frame this as a negative

Yes, that's pretty much the case.
