T2 certainly, his career hadn't really taken off before T1. In fact, I think his soaring popularity as an action star is almost certainly the reason that the Arnie-model Terminator was reprogrammed as a "good guy" in the scripting stage for T2, though it did also end up working very well narratively.
The "fear" right now tbh is just utterly toxic groups of blokes who are feeling threatened in their "masculinity" in all areas of life, because its so fragile in the first place.
