There was some disagreement in the comments but the majority agreed, how are they this fucking stupid, how do they even remember to breathe? I know a lot of them are super old but that can't be all of them

    It’s an explicit strategy of fascists to court incels and the incel-adjacent by exploiting their misogyny in order to pipeline them toward fascism and fascists organizations.

    You sometimes hear the phrase "hiding your power level" thrown around, and the origin of that is from Nazis talking about how to spread their beliefs without immediately getting told to fuck off. Guess who they targeted? More recently, Steve Bannon explicitly courted this crowd for political purposes after pissing off a bunch of g*mers with some WoW-adjacent company he was running.

      The origin is DBZ, then it became a metaphor for hiding how much of a weirdo you were, and only then did it get picked up by the fascists.

      This is key. He is effective and has practically unlimited funding from the Mercier billionaire family.

      This comment bums me out because it means there are other people who mostly associate power-levels and shit with nazis instead of whacky anime fights.
