    Literally nobody authentically likes him.

    I very truly wish that were so.

    Well before the bazinga submarine incident, there was a time where my-hero was just about unassailable in pop culture. Those Simpsons and Big Bang Theory and Star Trek Discovery and Rick and Morty mentions/appearances contributed to that, along with a general craving among otherwise secular and credulous computer touchers to have a grand nerd rapture promised to them, often branded as “the Singularity™.”

    my-hero pressed their buttons pretty effectively by tweeting about “genetically engineered catgirls for domestic use” kombucha-disgust and other pandering shit like that, and that doesn’t even get into the “MANKIND MUST LEAVE THE CRADLE HUMANS MUST BECOME AN INTERPLANETARY SPECIES” chanting from that same crowd.
