Some might assume I'd say techbros, and while I do despise them for sure, at a personal level I'm especially put off by the cryptobro subvariety of techbro. Talking to them, offline and in person, feels like talking to them online. They're that online. They're that cognitively insulated. Everything to them is transactional. The person they're talking to only exists as a mark or an obstacle to their ongoing acquisition and trade of planet burning internet tokens. I see it in their eyes. I see the artificial and crude predatory switch-flipping when it's clear that someone they're talking to isn't having it, in much the same way that high level Scientologist registers someone as "fair game" and goes hunter-killer on them. It's creepy for me at a deeply personal level.
Pet Peeve are probably Enlightened Centrists. They certainly arent the worst. But their holier-than-thou attitude pisses me off.
Just about every cryptofascist celebrity has been defended to some extent by claims of how "nonpolitical" they are, from Joe Rogan to :jordan-eboy-peterson: . I hate that.
Pretty much. I occasionally cross paths with these types of lunatics on a couple of design / creative messageboards and you would be surprised (not really) at the crossover between the fucking Thinking-Logic-Reason brigade with just awful opinions on everything and creative professionals - especially when it comes to LGBT issues - just truly rancid.
Like, if you made a diagram with 'Reactionary', 'Spiteful and Miserable at the Modern World', and Lobster Daddy / IDW Dorks; in the middle would be graphic designers. Just the most wretched and contrarian set of people I have had the misfortune to interact with.
