      there's a lot of unfathomable behavior that gets surfaced by/for/from/to the internet but the fact that anybody whatsoever could give that much shit about the edgy merch sold by a second rate web comic site is beyond me

      Well, detractors seem to belong to the group of people vaguely believing (but kind of obfuscating the belief) that dickwolf rape jokes represent a credible threat to rape victims and a real cause of IRL violence.

      im sincerely not trying to simulate the belief system of those people in my head i would find it more pleasing if you would just make up even more absurd claims about them rather than try to explain them

      I dunno, I find them amusing, mostly because they're like old people in my country, but with some search-and-replace. It's funny to see something that tries to be so aggressively different from senile, paranoid old males, but ironically so similar.

          we have lots of old folks with absurd pre-modern magical belief systems in America too. i'm sincerely curious how much overlap these groups have. i bet it's a lot.

          I sort of object to the term "pre-modern" because, well, these things are kind of historically stable to a ridiculous degree, kind of like schizophrenic delusion "plot arch" is stable

          My shrink ex liked to point out that while the content specifics of delusions in a number of delusional disorders borrow (obviously) from culture the patient is member of, the overall structure ("plot arch" in a sense) of delusions in those disorders is cross-culturally stable

          like, a person from a rural Muslim background would think that the Djinn is meddling with him, and a rural American will blame Satan or CIA mind control chemtrails... but both will contain delusions of influence (often hostile), later delusion of grandeur (being important

          So I've come to think of these "patriarchy" / "male gaze" / "evil eye" / "spooky media influences" / "bad wizards that will curse and manipulate you if they learn your birth name" /"evil spirits that listen in for you to announce your plans and go gremlin on them" as a sort of

          yes, but I am not sure "absurd" is the right word, also I'm not sure aggressive intermixing of Christianity, [data expunged] and [redacted] can be considered pre-modern.

          These are very self-consistent and aggressively evidence-consistent beliefs, they are just unfalsifiable (mostly) and have some exotic premises.

          persistent delusions have to be evidence-consistent, they just need to restrict the domain of admissible evidence to only things that either support the belief or are trivially refuted
