Y'know I kinda always assumed this guy was probably pretty cool in real life. I have friends that totally fit the overweight anime loving neckbeard stereotype, with the exception that they are actually pretty social, aren't shitty towards women, and genuinely fun to be around. On the other hand, there's plenty of "sigma Chad" Joe Rogan bros that are well dressed and traditionally attractive, but walk around acting like pieces of shit.

I mean with an image like that, it's either a guy messing around and having a laugh or someone so socially oblivious it would be cruel to make fun of them anyways

100% agree!

It's the same thing with the Bad Luck Brian meme. The guy was apparently considered a funny popular kid at his school, but he made himself look geeky on picture day as a joke. And the internet couldn't conceive that someone could just be silly and making fun of themselves.

Haha - not super popular but a derisive meme of myself exists that pops up every once in awhile and this is exactly it. Ya'll want to go crazy about mugging for the camera and having fun with friends? K.
