Like with Musk and his "exuberant" displays of Nazi memes and such, at some point it isn't an accident, but a reveal of something more. What our incel bro apparently doesn't know is that when someone uses a persistent theme as an insult or barbed joke, it usually reveals deep fears. When all of your insults revolve around homoerotic imagery, homophobic imagery and sexual insecurity, you might as well wear a fucking sign.

I realize that gamer culture and all of its various warts and variants is steeped in misogyny and preening, over the top displays of faux masculinity. It's online and not real. As such, it has a certain vocabulary, along with tropes and memes. Which reflect that. The thing is, that isn't the only aspects of it, just the a certain slice. When all you do is push that part, well Freud had a lot to say about you, given that the Victorian Period bore some striking resemblances to today. That people who seem on Gilded Age 2,0+ Ultra Mega, maybe there are more of them than I want to believe.
