Nathanos was never a likable character. His sudden rise to prominence in Legion and BfA is due purely to Sylvanas' rise and fall - And to no one's surprise, he is used for exactly that, then made a world boss to be pummelled by literally everyone. He's not just a self-insert - He's a self-insert with no personality. The guy compared himself to a dude they forgot to write as an actual character, they just made him simp super hard over Sylvanas and that's all there is to him.
The cringey part of the Danuser comparison is not so much that he thinks of himself as Nathanos - But that he thinks of himself as one of the blandest, simp-est characters in game. Dude basically admit that if a hot piece of ass gave him the time of day, he'd help her commit genocide.
