    this reminded me of how 4channers purposely desensitize themselves to gore and other heinous stuff, but they cant escape the pain of loneliness. and it could be solved if they just didnt act like massive pieces of shit. then they blame it on women and the supposed phenomenon of them only dating the “top 20%” of men! its probably the stupidest self-fulfilling prophecy

    jfc, you dont even have to have basic hygiene (tho that helps), just be nice!! dont be a misanthropic shut-in with a hyper-inflated ego and unearned confidence in ur intelligence. but when they try to be nice it isnt bc they want others to be happy, its to get something, so they come off as a disingenuous Nice Guy. i hate them but also kind of feel bad for them. maybe if they didnt get caught in this vicious cycle some of them wouldnt be reactionary assholes

    sorry for the tangent, good meme

      They competitively numbed themselves with gore/torture treats to try to impress other numbed people and are shocked that being emotionally numb makes them repulsive. surprised-pika

        Emotional numbness isn't repulsive in itself, disregard for others is. People can feel emotions less intensely than others or lack emotional empathy(feeling what others feel) but still make friends through genuinely putting effort.

          It's repulsive as a coercive competition between hateful nihilistic 4chan fascists. It's a contagious way to wreck people's social lives needlessly by peer pressure and false promises.

          Being numb by other means or just as a default isn't the same thing as being numb because edgy internet nazis say it's cool to do that.
