Of all the memes done to death by boring manchildren like this, I think only Pepe has gone through a longer and worse dragging through the chud mud. Feels bad, man. kermit-pain

      It’s people uncomfortable in their own skin and always wondering where they are on the social totem pole assuaging their anxieties by pantomiming what they have seen cooler people do, edit: but mainly just by picking on the kids they felt to be weaker (even those with some disability) or mock any sincerity they didn’t feel like they had the social permission to express

        uncool guys in middle school who always had their hands in their pockets because they were too afraid of moving them wrong

        uncomfortable in their own skin

        always wondering where they are on the social totem pole

        assuaging their anxieties by pantomiming what they have seen cooler people do

        this just sounds like autism, though I’m pretty sure “autistic = loser” isn’t the point you’re trying to make

          I guess I should add that unlike those with autism they also would pick on kids less popular than them, spread fake rumors to make people pariahs and elevate their own social status comparatively, and call every act of unbridled enthusiasm by anyone “gay” as well.
