This is a meme I found spreading on a small discord server for a tight-knit video game mod I'm still a member of. This was amongst a rotation of furry-trashing memes that were making their rounds in the server's # shit-posting channel.
Something I want to quickly pick up on amongst the low-status nerdy gaming male trashing of furry that I saw, something I notice in general is nerds also tend to do this annoying (but also deeply disturbing and alarming thing) of bringing up fatherly-child neglect to explain away how boys could "turn" to furry; or incite the biological father's role to "be there for your son ('before it's too late!'—as is written in the image filename)"; or express any amount of displeasure towards sons who do not turn out to fit the mold of some archetypical Hank Hill type '50s robotic father's own likeness—a likeness they themselves tend to despise.
The discord server, by the way, is hung out by a same tight core of active users, who basically address each other as “fam” or “brother” (so...they treat it as their family to get away from their real families). (Also there's plenty of anime and cartoon related shit-posting to boot, as well as complaints about things, like the latest Diablo Immortal.)
My question is: what is the purpose of low-status nerds who do this?
