Neckbeards

Have you guys ever had to luck to meet one ''in the wild'' ? looks don't matter, it's a mindset and behaviors. Like I'm legit curious if they're mostly a thing of a myth or individuals that bad actually swarm our hobbies.

I knew a guy back in primary school, to highschool grad in early 2000s, he became a neckbeard, obese never talked to girls, constantly inserting vidya/fictional hobbies into real life shit resulting in embarassing stuff, typical neckbeard. He was actually a pretty cool guy, chill as fuck and reliable as a mate for as long as I knew him, he never did weird shit directly to chicks as far as I know, the girls in our class were ok with him since they knew him since kindergarten, he did do some weird fucking shit though like writing a multiple page story of a fantasy with one of our hot teachers, story involved femdom n shit it was weird as fuck since he just showed it to me out of the blue, aside from that he was cool. Other neckbeards can be dumb cunts and full on creeps but some others like my friend just never wanted to approach chicks out of self loathing for his obesity n shit, which is pretty sad, he was never the type to hate on chicks or anything, we broke off couple years ago havent seen him for a while so I hope he's lost weight or found a girl

Yeah there's plently of neckbearded muslims here

lmao, got more of this man? tried looking him up?

Yes

Met him in a Japanese class

He WOULD NOT SHUT UP about his retro game collection and his sealed copy of Panzer Dragoon, or how he was learning Japanese to be able to read light novels and video game novelisations, or how he'd been to TGS.

He self described as a misanthrope as a point of pride and offered tired as fuck LOL DRUMPF political satire as if he was the first person to ever think of it.

You meet a lot of them playing MTG and 40k

Me and EVERYONE I KNOW are still buying it day 1. Cope harder, repost that same clip all you want. We know the game's gonna be great and revolutionary

The varied gameplay, the dense, hyper-detailed city, the branching narrative paths. Can't wait to turn night city upside down as a corpo next week!


Gonna make myself a big dick futa sexy bitch and there is nothing and I mean nothing that you Zig Forumstards can do to stop me!

Yes. He was a fat fedors wearing weirdo out with his "Girlfriend". Girlfriend being a very obvious boy in a dress he seemed so afraid of this guy that he kept his head down, barely said a word, and flinched two seperate times when the neckbeard made suddent movements.

>individuals that bad actually swarm our hobbies.
Hello, journalist shit. Go back to TloU2 livestreams.

>Girlfriend being a very obvious boy in a dress
Trans girls are real girls, user

That guy has no hair on his neck

Yes. Me.

I'm not obese, a weeb or have a literal neckbeard. I'm just socially awkward shy guy with no self-esteem, no fashion sense and a weird way of speaking. Also I read too much shit online so I have a very surface-level knowledge of various topics I like, which means I end up inadvertently sounding like a jerk since I end up correcting people on various topics.

Yes, I could change. But it's hard and don't know where to start from.

yes, me
also a manlet
obviously a neet
but at least im not fat or a nigger

most of Zig Forums is a neckbeard, user. you're delusional if you think otherwise. why do you think everyone posts this "chad" bullshit? they obviously have infereiority complexes, and latent homosexual tendencies ie: attributes common in "neckbeards".

>proudly showing you his detailed femdom rape fantasies involving hot teachers

Based, sounds like a trustworthy mate

Not necessarily neck beards but I have had an encounter with some cringy dudes in nearly every game store I've ever been in. Just the other day I went to EB games to trade in p5 and the guy next to me started rambling on about how he has played the game 5 times and was planning on replaying it again that night.

Empathy? if that is a no, apathy. let people be wrong.

>individuals that bad actually swarm our hobbies.
they are the original user, you are the invader

there's fuck all of them, they're practically a boogeyman

I knew a guy that looked like one, but he was super chill. I mean more like the mentality.

One of my neighbors is a neckbeard, who plays Dwarf Fortress and Touhou and has a sizeable amount of anime figures. And he makes his own swords, real ones, which is... honestly kind of cool.

>Met him in a Japanese class
And then user was a neckbeard!

but is he a faggot?

well i think it's kind of a push an pull of how things work in society and social hierarchy, people become galvanized in their passion for a hobby when they are rejected for preferring the hobby to actual people most of the time

so they end up compensating out of some sort of superiority / inferiority complex, same for a subset of weebs i think, it's all natural just people trying to maintain homeostasis

Dunno, I've never asked. It's not really my business.

I know a guy like that as well. Confirmed aspie. He had to take classes in order to act like a normal person. He's ~2 meters tall, and was really fat. Then he practiced HEMA for a couple of years, and went to Scotland to learn smithing. He came back looking like "The Mountain" from GoT.
Chill guy though, even if he scares the shit out of me some times.

how about more healthy copes like apathy or isolating with the groups they prefer?

>and flinched two seperate times when the neckbeard made suddent movements.
I laughed.

ask him about relationships, should be the most subtle way to get him to sperg if he is.

He said it wasn't any of his business, you flaming homo.

Oh shit, just remembered, he probably isn't a faggot because he has one of those body pillows with that redhead chick from that anime with the drills and giant robots.

>looks don't matter, it's a mindset and behaviors.
Yes they do, otherwise they wouldn't be called "neckbeards"

well a person's ability to connect hinges on just how idiosyncratic they are to begin with and how "odd" they're perceived to be, ultimately the perceived rejection by others can lead to a reaction that triggers a self fulfilling prophecy that only increases a person's social distance to others

some people just aren't able to find groups to fit into, what groups are there to fit into if you're obsessive about late 1990s shmups for instance? very few and for the record i'm confident the majority of these people self isolate by default, it's not like they come out to bother people in my experience
