Fedoras, what's up with them
So how did fedoras become associated with neckbeards and nice guys?
Because Neckbeards and Nice Guys (TM) often wear them* thinking they're being classy gents like Cary Grant or Frank Sinatra, and do so while wearing often stupid and or sexist tshirts and unflattering plants or shorts rather than suits and acting like being sexist douchebags**
*note, they don't actually wear fedoras, as such, they wear trilbys, which the modern retail environment labels as fedoras. It's sort of like calling a square a rectangle- technically it is a form of rectangle, but it's really it's own thing.
**edit: or while not really being sexist per se, but obnoxiously talking about their anime/MLP waifu in public, loudly, often where children might hear about them fitting their plushie/body pillow with a fleshlight. Think Count Arioch, but you can tell they actually 100% think that way, rather than there being some (however small) chance they're trolling.

Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.

Guys who are nice to women only to get into their pants, and immediately stop being nice when they're told that's not happening.Shrapnel wrote:...Nice guys...?
(as opposed to guys who are naturally kind of assholish, are nice to people they like and are interested in, and are kind of bummed but don't stop being nice just because they know they're not getting any)

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Zak S, Zak Smith, Dndwithpornstars, Zak Sabbath. He is a terrible person and a hack at writing and art. His cultural contributions are less than Justin Bieber's, and he's a shitmuffin. Go go gadget Googlebomb!

Is this wretched demi-bee
Half asleep upon my knee
Some freak from a menagerie?
