They don't view themselves as particularly desirable or attractive. And, you know, their politics are probably like completely orthogonal, unrelated to however they're feeling about themselves in relationships. But it's just easy to sort of vaguely collapse Tate and Trump and everything that you don't like into, you know, they're all just these domineering evil men.
And also incels are in there too, somehow, even though Andrew Tate and Donald Trump are like kind of the like literal opposite of incels and like every kind of way in terms of income, in terms of success, in terms of women and everything else. So yeah, it's, you know, the show was, and then like, you know, I think the show, honestly, it could have been braver if they had an uglier kid.

The kid is like, he was a perfectly nice looking 12, 13 year old boy or whatever. And if they had had an uglier kid, I think you would have felt like, I think maybe it would have been dangerously close to making him too sympathetic. You know, like, like, you know, it's like, Oh, if he's like, if he's a good looking kid, what does he have to complain about?

But if you had an ugly kid, you might actually feel like, yeah, it does kind of suck being physically unattractive. And then you might leap to, well, you know, he wasn't justified, but like, if you're an ugly kid and you're being made fun of and, and, and then, um,

Oh yeah. Yeah. That's that's it. Yeah. Well, there was that scene with him and the psychiatrist where he like asked, like, do you think I'm ugly? And I guess that that is like an incel trope of like, you know, you're, you're every, you know, you're all ugly. If you're not in the top 20% or top 10%, then you're just ugly. You're invisible to women.

And he was trying to get this weird sense of validation from, from this woman, the psychiatrist. Um, asking her to give her assessment of him. And he mentioned something about, oh, you're pretty. And I think it would have meant something to this boy to have a pretty woman say, oh, actually you're not ugly. But I think she asked him back. Her, her response was, well, do you think you're ugly?

Cause she's interested in what he thinks. But yeah, I think, um, yeah, that would have been an interesting route to go because there was nothing, there was nothing like he didn't have a lisp, you know, he wasn't overweight. Like there could have been something, something that added a little bit more legitimacy to his character. Um, Yeah, but you're right.
