99% of Wojaks genuinely activate my fight or flight (hexbear.net)

Usually I'm all for uncanny ugly stuff

But there is something so genuinely annoying about how they look that makes me cringe so hard its actually a visceral reaction. I don't know if it's because 90% of them make eye contact at the veiwer (my autism hates eye contact), or that most of them are such mean-spirited characatures (the anti-trans ones in particular) that it immediately disgusts me or what.

It's like I can smell the intent to manipulate with stereotypes and it immediately rage baits me.

Like infinitely worse rage comics. Even when put to ostensibly leftist used they still evoke it.

Also the eye contact thing is a recent phenomenon imo, this time a decade ago when wojaks were mostly "feels guy" rather than even-lower-effort Ben Garrisson strips, they were usually looking out of frame. Hmm...

That's why I hate most leftist communities, they're filled with chad-cuck, wojak, npc, and other 4chan style memes.

Absolutely too many leftist spaces online are waaaay too comfortable with 4ch shit, yeah...

There's a reason so many are happy to outsource their thinking to a machine after all
