Have you ever encountered someone like Comic Book Guy in real life?
>>151328553Yeah, but never at actual comic stores, usually it's been at like, games workshop (though I guess it's just called the warhammer store now.) Most guys that look like comic book guy and are into comics are super nice, honestly. The really dogshit comic book store experiences I've had have been with paper thin Nu Male types that hate conflict but still want to give you shitty service.
>>151328597When it comes to spaces like that, the really stereotypical looking people are usually very normal and well-adjusted. Same idea as the gym or sports games where the people who pop culture dictates would be the most troublesome are typically the most pleasant and friendly.
>>151328553Haven't watched the Simpsons in damn near forever so I'm just going with someone nerdy as hell and elitist about nerdy shit:>play Pokemon TCG League back around 2002-ish at a local card/comic/TTRPG store>me and friends go there a couple times a week, but mainly go for the weekly league>most of the league averages 10-12 years old>big neckbeard dude with a toolbox and vest loaded with decks shows up every week for the league>probably in his early 30s>every deck is designed to shit on people, either being overpowered as hell or just designed to shit on specific decks to make sure he wins every round against everyone>if anyone even comes remotely close to putting up a fight at all, he just "nothing personnel"s at the end, either dumping some meta strat on them that he was holding back, or he starts talking about how that was just his shit deck he uses when he doesn't give a fuck about winning, then lists off how many turns it'd take for this deck or that deck to win>when he goes all-out, he'd shit out some meta gimmick deck that uses some cheap soon-to-be-banned strat to win in 1-2 turns>all these fights are for shits and giggles, there's no reason for him to stomp anyone, no gain out of it other than ego>if you can get him to talk strategy, he just lists off OP cards, how powerful they are, how many copies of each he has, and rants about how X card or Y card was banned>clearly hates everyone there for not knowing about any good cards and not being a challenge, despite, again, everyone being under half his ageAlso, typing this half-remembered shit out made me check on that shop. Despite being there for like 30 years, the shop closed THIS year, a few months ago, as apparently one of the two owners has serious health issues that are getting worse.FRIP in piece
Didn't this archetype began when writers couldn't cope with early criticism? Like "who would care about this stupid kids show? I know, must be some fat loser"
>>151328553yes. he's the archetype for the socially extroverted nerd. these are the nerds that go out and have to tell people all of their scientific theories on everything. like how Superman could beat up Goku and all that shit. he's the opposite of the introverted nerd who is a hermit.
CBG is ironically a poor representation of irl comic spergs because he has some redeeming qualities. He's abrasive but also intelligent, self-aware and well-spoken, which is an almost unheard-of combination for his type. Most manchildren are stuttering retards who can barely dress themselves.
>>151328885>He's abrasive but also intelligent, self-aware and well-spokenKnowing useless trivia is not intelligence.
>>151328999I never said he was using his intelligence wisely. He just chooses to be a fucking dweeb.
>>151328553I can't say I have. Not to that absolute extreme anyways. I've had a few bad comic shop experiences but they were in the vast minority and never by the shop itself
>>151328780When I was an early teen there was always people like that at nintendo events, and this was like, gamecube underdog nintendo era. There was a mario kart DS tournament me and some friends went to and they guy who won was like, 30, and kept bragging about how he'd never played the game before that day. Thinking on it I went to a ruby era tournament and it was the same story (back then pokemon wasn't really taken seriously as an actual competitive game either.)I never wanted to be like that as an adult, I'm very conscious about how I engage with spaces designed for children.
>>151328999The barrier of entry to being engaged with online spaces in the 90s was usually someone who had relatively high level of tech knowledge, a decent income, the assumption would be he would be college educated and making decent money running his business. The confluence of these factors made it so that generally people online were pretty smart, if not abbrasive.Shits changed a lot since the simpsons premiered in 1989, god knows any idiot can and does use the internet now.He was also in the mensa episode, though frankly that's an entire can of worms in of itself.
>>151328999The mensa episode says he's one of the smartest men in Springfield
>>151329073>He was also in the mensa episode, though frankly that's an entire can of worms in of itself.Then open in it. This thread is as good as any.
>>151328553Absolutely.The catch however is that these guys aren't at comic bookstores like >>151328597 explains. People like CBG are often in LGSs (local game stores) and more often than not independent ones as the owners of the stores are patient enough to put up with them and to wrangle them to be semi-functional around other patrons. They are always autistic to some degree and half the time they are unaware of how abrasive or blunt they actually are and when confronted about their attitude will often concede. I have only known one guy who was self-aware of their attitude and the guy was an asshole on the account of being a walking medical problem, the guy needed CPAP and wasn't even that overweight. As for them runnning the stores themselves I have never seen that. Most LGSs or even independent comic stores do well because the owner is passionate about games or comics and spends most of his time talking to regulars about nerd shit who buy his stuff. You need to be a cool guy to talk to and have people keep coming to your store because they like you for your personality, overwise people will just buy stuff online at 10% upcharge from stock rates which stores can't compete with. People like CBG running stores when Simpsons aired makes sense due to how niche the market was back then and how you couldn't just order stuff online, but now the archetype is the kind of guy to visit these stores as aposed to run them.For what it's worth, I would take guys pike CBG anyday coming through my LGSs door than the trannies who are now the new guests that are attracted to comic book stores or game stores like flies. CBGs will tell me about their favorite action puppet shows for 2 hours but they won't stare into my eyes go into detail about how they really like to draw blood or are into puplay in a setting where kids come into to get the latest pokemon cards.
Come back, those are prescription pants!
>>151328780So he absolutely fucking styled on you every which way no matter what deck you built. Now years later you are still so salty you decide to shit on his character accusing him of being a tryhard. Seems like he just ass fucked you so bad you are still ass hurt 20 plus years later.
>>151329212Wait a minute...
>>151329106>he's one of the smartest men in Springfield
>>151329106Anon, that's like saying you were the most functional child out of special ed
My local game store was run by a guy like him but he wasn't that much of a dick and he wasn't into broad nerd fandom. It was pretty much tabletop/TCG and comics with a little bit of sports cards/memorabilia
>>151329106You can have a high IQ but also be into pointless stupid shit in life. There's plenty of brilliant humans throughout life that waste it by pursuing trivial vices.
>>151329155>People like CBG running stores when Simpsons aired makes sense due to how niche the market was back thenAlso his initial episode debuted when there was a boom in the independent comicbook shops before the early 90's crash that closed at least 1/3rd of comicbook shops (if I recall).
>>151328553Worst. Thread. Ever.
>>151329155Seconding, these guys pretty much moved on to LGS’s and they’re hamming it up with trannies now in trying to be the absolute most obnoxious customers around. Can’t tell if that’s because comics are so dead that even the diehards are moving on, or if the stereotype was never as dedicated as it was depicted to be in the first place.
>>151328553Yeah. My local comic book store owner in the 90s was a lot like him. Same attitude and all. Used to brag about ripping kids off when buying cards from them. He's still working in the shop now, but he's mellowed out considerably now that he's an older dude. He also has a son who helps run the place. They're pretty nice now, but he still has hints of that personality.
>>151328553Yes. I am he.
>>151328553I used to work at a comic book store, you are more likely to have him as a customer.
>>151328597Based and truth pilled. "Comic Book Guys" who are fat or older don't care because they already know and love themselves and enjoy sharing their hobby with others and so on. Nu male types are trying too hard to be something they're not because they don't have a feel for their own identity as a result of attempting to fit in.
>>151328885>>151329073He also runs a successful business. There are just different types of people in every category, you have someone like described in >>151328780 and then you also have Chris-Chan who would go to Pokemon card game tournaments in the mid-2000s getting stomped by literal children because he was even more childish himself and using retarded themed decks
>>151328553When I was a wee lad, like 5 or 6 years old, I lived in this shitty old flat for where I had a very obese neighbor living on the same floor as us who had paintings of Deku Link and Spider-Man on his window. I was big into games and Spider-Man at the time so I thought that made him cool at first, but the guy was an asshole with some pitbull looking dog that loved to bark like mad at anyone who walked past his door (as our front doors had glass in them so it could make out if anyone was standing outside). My mom eventually got sick of me being too scared to walk to my damn front door and told him to knock it off with that shit, which he did. I think she did that in response to him telling me to stop pissing off his dog as if it were my fault it was such an aggressive beast, but my memory is obviously a bit hazy cause this all happened like 23 years ago.When I first saw The Simpsons, CBG immediately made me think of him. He looked very similar except with curly dark brown hair, I wanna say.
>>151328553Comics guys and tabletops players have been for what I've seen the most aggresive types are Nu-males who are obssed with vidya and anime.I recall when I was around 12 I went to buy a Spaltoon Ness theme shirt and random couple which was laughing saying I'm a fake gamer because they couldn't imagine a kid knows what a NES is .The guy had a fedora,glasses,a lolipop and the onions-beard with while the girl was a hunchback redhead.Really nice of my dad to go conventions specially when he hated nerd stuff but honestly to much weird people to be around kids .>>151328597Also true
I had two of these guys who would hang on the day when all the comics dropped at my LCS before it shut down. They weren't even the owners, but they sure would talk loud enough that you'd figure they own the place. One of them sounded like a typical nerd. The fatter one had this weird womanly voice despite having a full beard. They would mostly just stand near the entrance and talk about how the newest Star Wars entry was underappreciated, going as far as to making a whole day's conversation about how that preschool show with the blue ewok was "actually pretty good for a kids show!". They specifically has a loud discussion about how Boba Fett's ship name was a "Republican dog whistle" (the wording stuck with me).I don't think the owner liked them much. I never saw him talk to them, but he was always friendly and talkative with everyone else. Wonder if the bother some other shop owner now that that place closed.
>pandemic>go to anime con>gf has snack while in anime viewing room>she brings mask down to put food in mouth and pulls back up between bites, like when one drinks a water bottle>fat neckbeard supervising the room shouts to her to stop snacking and put her mask back on>leaving room after show>witness the same fat fuck stuffing a sub sandwhich doen his throat in his back room table
>>151330277fat people sure loved pulling the YOU'RE PUTTING MY HEALTH AT RISK card back then, eh?
>>151330310Anyone wielding a modicum of power that made them feel important had a field day back thenNow they forget the whole thing even happened

>>151330341Meds nowThey were strapping masks to 4 year olds for no reason. They were wearing pool noodles on top of their heads.>“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.”
>>151328553There was a guy who used to sell comics at a market where I grew up who was such a walking fucking caricature it was unreal. Exactly like Comic Book Guy. Also one guy who worked at my local Games Workshop. GW guy wasn't fat, but his attitude was just the same. I'd still take the condescending Eltingville rejects of old over the attention whoring, hilariously poorly passing trannies everyone has to walk on eggshells around that have invaded geeky hobby spaces in recent years though.
>>151330328Yeah, the pandemic was a good time for Redditors, entitled fatties, Boomers and Karens alright. Some of those people actually *miss it*. >>151330365Remember double-masking? Quadruple vaxxing? It got so stupid near the end.
>>151330233What the fuck is that nerd archetype where the dude has enough testosterone to grow facial hair but is cursed with a weird high pitched voice? I only ever see it in extreme neckbeards. Are you pretty much forced to become a stereotype of a nerd if you're handed that set of cards?
>>151330277Im not denying covid or even the vax but i hated the lockdown for how much its ruined society to the point im now in the idea that we shouldve let all the immuno-compromised filth rot and die while us superior regular people didnt suffer a lockdown for their inferior sakes.
>>151330369I feel you. At least neckbeards of old genuinely loved their nerd shit, even in their own stupid way, rather than the worst of today jumping trends for social clout and trying to police the community for not adhering to a tourist's sensibilities
>>151330395Sometimes people subconsciously affect a higher-pitched voice than their vocal timbre naturally produces. Think of the "squeakers" of yore in video game voice chat, etc. They grew up and still maintain that squeaky quality to their voice. It's something they have to be consciously aware of and work to unlearn.
>>151328553his name is Jeff Albertson
>>151330435Interesting. I guess that makes sense if you're a creature of habit and not encountering feedback

>>151330546It can happen if your primary social influences come from fictional entertainment media, instead of interacting with other people in the real world on a regular basis.
>>151330395Fat men have more estrogen than normal men
>>151330653To add, eating processed foods over natural unprocessed tends to mess up one's hair and cause balding much sooner
>>151328553Yes. Here where I live, the only consistent comic book store was one in the Flea Market. It was run by a guy named Steve. While he looked fairly unassuming, he had every single trait of CBG. But once you'd been there a while and he got to know you, he became a lot more tolerableSteve unfortunately died from complications with diabetes a few years ago and the out-pouring of concern and sadness was immense
>>151330582CBG is a college graduate that runs his own business though.
>>151330667>eating processed foods over natural unprocessed tends to mess up one's hair and cause balding much soonerOkay rfk jr wannabe retard
>>151330716Notice how all of your big bellied (not evenly distributed fat, but the particularly massive gutted) friends that eat take out, doritos and frozen tv dinners are the most likley to go bald in their late 20s/early 30s.
>>151330582>actual intelligence (how to succeed in life)The problem with this logic is that "succeeding in life" in current year no longer requires "actual intelligence" at all. It's all about people skills and how good you at networking and manipulation. In short, essentially a female mindset. That's how we get retards who are able to project a sense of competence (even if they are in fact wildly incompetent) running everything.
>>151330754So what we should all eat raw meat and super male vitality instead and get brain worms? Youre a joke
Are the 'nu-males' in the room with us right now
>>151330771Hence why so many women are having trouble finding decent mates lol(men too, of course, but that’s not as closely related to this issue)
>>151330803Eat your vegetables, fruits, and meats either cooked and prepaired yourself (most vegetables and fruits are safe to eat raw too, like banana, carrot, broccoli, or grapes, always wash before consuming however) or cooked from a restaraunt with fresh ingrediants. In general, try to stay away from fried foods or foods with high salt, oil, high fructose corn syrup, and general additives with chemical-like names that you've never heard before. When choosing foods, a label of "all natural" is vague but a good safe indication. "Organic" however is an overblown market scam. Organic crop mostly all still use pesticides but just from a smaller list of FDA organic-approved pesticides. The American Cancer Association has seen no adverse health effects from modern GMO produce that use their legal list of pesticides. I'm not preaching weight loss, but I am preaching to select what calories and foods you put in you and how that affects your energy, the way your body maintains and ages.
>>151330896>>151330896>"only eat dirt and leaves for the rest of your life bro"You health freaks are fucking insane
>>151330870Maybe these bitches should lower their standards for men then
>>151330754I used to be that kind of slob and I still have a full head of hair. Baldness is mostly hereditary.
>>151330850Yeah idk what they're talking about. Do they mean redditors or what? I'm sure comic clerck guy would be one.
>>151328553Yes in literally every goth group before 2010Fuck you to all the people that talk about gatekeeper communities this is a parody of you
>>151331188What happened in 2010 that made them disappear?
>>151328847Pinky and the Brain has the same joke.Writers think they are muscular chads with lots of money because they make products for Hollywood and the audience are the fat dudes.
>>151328553The spectrum of comic book shops in my personal experience used to be:>Comic book guy esque.Or>Alternative people.And then there was the rise of the sort of corporate hipster alternate people. I used to live somewhere with two shops and it really was:>Comic book guy, abrasive, would call out bad comics, constantly in arguments/feuds, but he knew his stuff and could provide tailored and nuanced recommendations. Store was messy with a lot of back issue bins.>Alternate people, constantly and insufferably friendly but dogshit takes, recommending some trashy characters, super casual, tidier store.Whenever I visited other places it was between these two on a spectrum.
>>151328847To be fair they were dealing with that one dude who was obsessed with Babs from Tiny Toons I think, or the rumor of them
>>151331653My local shop guy knows his shit but doesn't Comicbookguy his way theough interaction. He was talking with a dad and his son, and the son just saw Batman vs Superman. The son said he liked the movie, and the comic book guy simply said "Oh? I didn't really like it, but hey, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it."I think we're all ok with the encyclopedia knowladge autism, it's the Elltingville-esque elitism that turns everyone off.
>>151329151Nta but mensa was just a newsletter and facebook equivalent for people that scored high on their testing, all with a cost stapled to it. I had an invite due to an IQ test I was given in school, but we couldn't afford to spend money for a newsletter and the potential to network.
>>151331653Were the alternative people buying Vertigo books and indie comics? What era was this?
>>151331653>Alternate people, constantly and insufferably friendly but dogshit takes, recommendingSaga. I don't know about these days but a few years ago it was always fucking Saga.
>>151331692My current shop owner is like that. Knowledgeable and charismatic lacking the elitism (he does shitpost some arguments sometimes). It really is weird but this business relies far more on decent shop staff than many other industries and a good shop owner does retain the customers. Shops do have to curate their windows, shelves and near the register.>>151331698I'm talking owners/staff. These alternate comic book shop owners were not really vertigo/indie types. These were the sort of people who were clearly alternate in culture/style but would sell a casual customer some dogshit Harley Quinn book because Harley Quinn is cool. I have a very strong memory of that, them putting someone off buying a good book for Harley Quinn. Hence they had casual customers and turned more into the pop culture store and less the comic book store.>>151331706They always had the blandest shit by the register to push. Comic book guy would be like, oh you like this, try x. They would be trying to upsell some book by the register. Comic book guy type really could curate taste in a decent way.
>>151328553The owner of my now-closed comic store was a really fat dude, but he was very nice and shy most of the time. I miss him.
>>151329052I always love the people that get on forums for games that are generally considered hard and then proceed to stroke their epeen telling people that they beat everything first try no deaths.
>>151330803How about you eat a salad and drink some water dumbass
>>151331784I think that since comic shops are probably in one of the worst states they've been in an owner HAS to be a friendly buisnessman and make sure they have returning buisness or else they sink
>>151330850Who are you replying to?
>>151330771Anon, useless people have been abusing their social acumen to get ahead since the dawn of civilization.
>>151333279So you agree, useless people who use social acumen to succeed, not actually intelligent people who use intelligence to succeed then? Because that was my point.
>>151331653>>151331784It's fun how The SImpsons tackled on that with that one hipster that opens his store and Android's Dungeon closes (It's the time Art Spiegelman Alan Moore show up, then Marge puts a gym )
>>151330850anyone that makes that reference comes off as a toolbag
>>151328553They're everywhere on reddit
>>151328553I was once sitting in graphic design class and the dude next to me was some fat manga reader who kept getting on my ass for reading comic vine during class. He kept calling it the vile. He said things like "You reading the Vile?" or "This is the Vile"
>>151335290This is fucking hilarious kek
>>151329212I never played against him, nigga. At least I don't think I ever did?Never liked being near the guy, he always brought in too much shit and took up a whole seat or two of the table, which made it hard for me to do other shit at the league, like doing GBA link cable shit with my friends.
>>151330850I used that term as a catch all at the start of the thread and am regretting it, I just meant a sort of spindly guy in big rimmed glasses and a shitty haircut, I don't really care about all this culture war shit and shouldn't have pointed the thread towards it.
>>151328553Go to any comic convention. He'll be there.
Yes. I've told this story here before but I had a great lcs just a few minute walk from me. Owner was super friendly and a slick salesman. He'd gleefully push books tailored to your interest, and sales were great. As in, "Oh you like ____? Well check out this book too, and you might also dig this." Putting them in your hands. A tad overeager but again, very enthusiastic. I would hang at the shop for an hour here and there throughout the week shooting the shit. Great times. He started a family and sold the shop to his two employees. One was sorta like him, friendly enough. The other, Comic Book Guy. A tiny grumpy man. And it went like so, somebody would come in, "Hey do you guys carry ____?!" "Ermm we do yeah, but why would you even want to buy that?" "Oh uhh ok nevermind bye." Or "What would you recommend if I enjoyed____?" "I don't know, read better books?" Just absolutely being an antisocial stick in the mud and literally turning people away all day long. I guess the sort of psychology behind it is he wanted you to think he was some kind of elite tastemaker, but it was just brutal negativity. Anyway long story short, sales very promptly fell off a cliff and the store shuttered within a year. A damn shame, as it was in a great location with tons of foot traffic, an awesome place to hang and meet people, and it's history.
>>151328553Am I the only one who thought he was cool and wanted to grow up to be just like him? Thank fuck I grew out of it in middle school...
>>151336845Like a lot of the earlier simpsons characters they threaded the needle enough that you sort of liked him in spite of his obvious shortcomings, he's funny.
>>151331694>I had an invite due to an IQ test I was given in school, but we couldn't afford to spend moneyYou mean your parents didn't think it was worth it, or were they actual crackheads living in the ghetto?
>>151336875>his obvious shortcomings Which are... ?
>>151328553Yeah the guy who used to work at New England comics but he was actually a pretty nice guy
>>151328553Of course we have! The Simpsons is full of familiar yet exaggerated caricatures, many of which aging surprisingly well even after 36 years.
>>151330352>comic book guy is the simpsons ronniemakes a strange amount of sense
>>151328553The only true nerd I've found in the wild was a mechanic my father worked with when i was 11-13 who was a 6'5 muscular handsome guy that exclusively wore anime merchandising and greeted people with head-bows. Back then I thought he was the coolest guy to ever exist.
>>151330018its true
>>151330406>im now in the ideaFuck you, you deserve all of this. Anyone who supported lockdowns at ANY point deserves this soulless DEI hell.
>>151336799Where the fuck was the other guy during all this?
>>151336799What comics did your Comic Book Guy actually like
>>151339065Idk man, even hearing this now he sounds like one cool dude
>>151328553Yes, elitist video "game collectors" that rip on resellers/flippers yet they also do the same exact thing they do and sell their own games every single time. "To fund my collecting" they all say. One in particular was just a weird little man that never moved on from that mindset even over a decade later last I heard.
>>151328553Not that worked near comics. I knew one guy like that for vidja tho.
>>151342273*vidya
>>151342958>t. hasn't seen squidbillies
>>151328553Yes, i fucking work with one at trader Joe's Hes a touchy grabby 30 yo Guatemalan guy who always whines about woke shit in games Its always that or something vtuber shitLike damn bro if I wanted to hear that id just go to /v/ im.not trying to reveal my power level niggaA coworker told me they may have seen him with loli on his phone What a weird dumbass
>>151343323Should I?
>>151328553Yeah. The owner of Fantasy Comics in Tucson Arizona.
>>151344849Dude, don't be so specific Jesus Christ we don't need to be able to google them.
>>151329376Life is pointless and stupid. What difference does it make.
>>151328553My local comic shop guy looked really similar except he had black hair and was balding without the skullet. But fat and fake chin beard is pretty generic.
>>151328553I used to be a friend of worse.
>>151346452What happened?
>>151331395Time
I honestly consider CBG a harmful caricature of autistic people at this point.We've all had the experience of trying to explain something to someone, and being accused of being combative or arrogant for some reason. CBG is how normies see that interaction from the other side.>Batman is my favorite Mavel character>Batman isn't Marvel, he's DC>UGH, SHUT THE FUCK UP. WHO CARES?!!?!I mean, why did you bring up the topic, if you don't care?
>>151339065Younger you was correct, he sounds cool
You're on /co/.YOU are the Comic Book Guy.
>>151346452W-WHAT HAPPENED?!
>>151346920Nah, not everyone. There's also anons like every member of the Eltingville Club, and Rusty Brown.
>>151342296Yes.
>>151348101lel
>>151346614At least its not the whole show and its clear cbg is the result of actual shop experience.TBBT is way worse and its main cast is 4 caricatures of CBG.
>>151328553
>>151346920At least Comic Book Guy has hair.More than what you can say for most /co/ users that are 30+ years old.
>>151349835I'm 36 and look exactly like comic book guy and worked at a shop. From what people told me they actually loved it when I worked there because I was polite and even though I didn't know everything about comics and creators I could still shoot the shit and let people explain why they love something without putting them down (unlike in 4chan where I can shit on your shit taste). Like I hated that we sold Funko pops and shitty MCU posters but talking to people that genuinely like that stuff is a different thing especially when you can see that light in their eyes burn brightly when they talk about their favorite sloppas. It's just a shame that my boss was incompotent (would sleep on the job, would play call of duty with headphones in the backroom leaving the front desk unmanned, would be rude to customers, would always be loud and cussing Infront of kids, always thought he was the alpha dog and smartesr person in the store (that would be me, but it was cute letting him talk), there were times were he was very rude to me, even racist, but it was fun being able to reply to him in a way that has him apologizing without me losing my temper or raising my voice.Most of the people comic people I bet who were genuinely assholes were more like out of shape but not obese, people who thought they were not nerds or geeks but some kind of pseudo jock. The real awful ones were usually noticable when you hear them talk about what good honest people they are and then see them ripping them off or bragging to to their friends about how much money they just made off some poor granny's husbands collection and shit like that.
>>151328553Yes. A guy I've known since high school. He's black, fat, never shows any emotion, hates women and will never have sex, worships incel YouTube channels like Critical Drinker and Tyronne whatsisface, and never stops whining about "woke" things. He's also the biggest contrarian who hates things if they are popular and likes things if they are unpopular.
