Every last worker in the social services industry I've ever met. Well-liked by everyone except the people who find themselves at the other end of their decisions, these people having their livelihoods shattered by them when the money is needed. They all look, sound, and act like mass-produced clones of each other, almost like they vet each other for similarities to themselves. Sad part is I could've become one given my education.
Absolutely, my shitbag-dar is on point. I have too many to choose from. How about the "good Christian" guy in college who ended up body shaming a friend if mine into becoming overweight because he preferred overweight women, then cheating on her and beating her? Or the piece of shit who played off that he was so nice that got a new car and proceeded to try to get every girl in the friend group to go for a ride... Yeah, you guessed it, he tried to assault multiple women in that new car of his. Yeah, the list goes on and on. Honestly, I have met more than enough openly shitty people who had more good in them than so many of the well liked people.
Not me but a friend I used to play World of Warcraft with.
The (at the time) #1 ranked progression guild in the world was Method. They had a player called Josh who used to stream frequently. My friend used to hate him and said he looked like the kind of guy that would spend his days on the dark web trawling for CP.
Around the time said friend had left to try out for the navy, Josh was implicated in a sexual harassment and child grooming scandal which caused Method to implode as an organisation. Most of their players abandoned ship and formed Echo in its place, in the full knowledge that everyone was covering up allegations against him, not just senior leadership.
When he got back (failed the fitness test) he was like "Called it. I knew he was a paedophile."
Yes, but I don't wanna talk about it.
