I work with a guy that fits this description as well. Man bun goes to the gym regularly mountain bikes, rock climbs lives the van life yet is a full on Nazi fascist racist sexist homophobic xenophobic, but also enjoys wearing retro rock band T-shirts and smoking offbrand cigarettes.

Ugh, that’s so annoying. I wonder how many acquaintances of his nope out after talking to him long enough to realize

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think it’s just me most of his friends and family members are exactly like him. Even his girlfriend is perfectly OK with being treated badly by him.

It’s really the same thing as when way back neo-nazi’s appropriated punk culture, which was an inherently anti-nazi, and anti-fascist movement

Looks like the term Nipster originated in Europe where everyone was already metrosexual 10 years ago according to stereotypes.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't even know that was a thing 🫣

I assumed that whole thing was scripted. I've never heard this term but you could be right.

They want positive feedback and encouragement, every time they spout some fucking right wing bs they get it by the bucketful.
