People On This Group Are Shaming ‘Neckbeards’, And Here Are 30 Of Their Best Posts
Prepare yourselves, dear Pandas, we’re about to journey into one of the most shadowy and hilarious corners of the internet—into the vast Cringe Empire, home of the elusive, socially inept neckbeards. Known for their poor hygiene, misogynistic points of view, [ahem] ‘interesting’ style choices, love of anime, katanas, body pillows, and Japanese culture, these fedora-wearing individuals are called neckbeards.
A pejorative term, it lightly pokes fun at those geeks who have over-inflated egos (and more than occasionally—over-inflated tummies), are often misogynistic, call people “m’lady,” and believe that acting like a functioning member of society is more of a recommendation than a requirement. Whether or not they have a beard on their necks or in their hearts is beside the point. All that matters is the beard in their soul.
One place that publicly shames the most cringeworthy neckbeards is the ‘Just Neckbeard Things’ subreddit, a community of nearly 809k members. It’s an online group “for mocking those who adorn their necks with proud man fur.” And I love their tagline which is “barba non philisophum facit” which roughly translated from Latin means “one's beard does not make a philosopher.”
Have a look through some of the subreddit’s funniest and quirkiest posts about neckbeards, upvote the ones that made you laugh, and be sure to give the online group a visit if you enjoyed their stuff. Onwards, dear Readers! Just remember not to touch anyone’s fedora—it makes them... angry.
Plenty of neckbeards eat very poorly, move very little, and stereotypically subsist on Doritos and Mountain Dew, which means their health isn't up to scratch. Bored Panda reached out to fitness expert Jack Bly to hear his take on what we can do to improve our health and fitness if we feel that it's negatively impacting the quality of our lives. You'll find his insights below.

Women And Their... *shuffles Deck* ...pants!
Where's The Lie?
If they really wanted girlfriends they'd be all over the girl geeks and gamers and programmers, but they do their damndest to push them away... thereby ending any possibility of meeting a girl they have anything in common with. They have NO idea that they have terrible intimacy issues, they'd rather believe it's all the fault of, well, every female alive.
Those Red Caps Are The New Fedoras
I wanted to get fitness expert Jack's take on what foods to go for when losing weight. Going on a new diet can mean that you're constantly feeling hungry which can, in turn, mean that you're more likely to go back to your old snacking and fast-food habits.
Jack told Bored Panda that high satiety foods are key to keeping hunger at bay. "The foods you are eating need to be high in protein and high volume in order to fill you up," he pointed out.
According to Jack, if someone's looking to lose some weight, he recommends weight lifting as a priority when it comes to exercise. However, mixing that together with some cardio "would be optimal," in his opinion.
"Weight lifting is more of the 'long term fix' as when you put on muscle mass, your body burns more calories just at rest. Thus, this makes it much easier to burn fat and keep it off long term," he said.

Just A Friendly Reminder!
There are so many pics of signs like this! What is the connection between anime and bad hygiene, why??
Graphs Don't Lie
😂😂😂😂 Thanks a lot for making me spit my drink over my keyboard...
The fitness expert told Bored Panda that if someone's dissatisfied with their life and their health, they need to "get very clear on the CHOICE" they have to make. "You can endure the pain of workouts and different eating habits OR you can endure the pain of obesity, brain fog, poor mood, early death, low energy, medical bills, and low confidence."
He added: "It isn’t much of a choice at the end of the day."
How neckbeards are defined entirely depends on who you ask about them. For some, they’re anime-loving, fake katana-wielding dorks who dream about living in Japan. For others, they’re arrogant jerks and 'incels' who see themselves as better than everyone else and have a sense of entitlement that few can match. Often, neckbeards portray themselves as gentlemen, philosophers, and men of culture. Often… they’re anything but.

Others still associate neckbeards mostly with their exterior characteristics. The iconic fedora. The baggy suits. The overweight physiques. The slightly (fine, fine, more than just ‘slightly’) weird obsession with the ‘My Little Pony’ cartoon. And, of course, the scruffy, unkempt beards on their necks that are a modern version of what’s popular among the Amish community in the US. Each of these things doesn’t mean much in isolation, but when taken together, they paint a picture of someone who may need to work very hard to improve their life.
The r/justneckbeardthings subreddit has been active since late June of 2013 and recently celebrated its 8th birthday.
The moderators have got only 4 rules that members need to follow, including avoiding reposts (“Reposts are for losers,” they explain), not being a neckbeard on Reddit, being nice to turtles (here are a couple of possible explanations for the phrase), and avoiding sharing any and all personal info. Sure, the subreddit might be all about mocking neckbeards, but the mods point out that they don’t want to see any bullying or witch-hunts.

“At the core, neckbeards’ inflated egos and misogynistic attitudes towards women serve as a coping mechanism for personal insecurity and a lack of self-confidence. Such an attitude allows them to place the blame for their failed social interactions on others rather than undertake self-examination and improvement,” writes Urban Dictionary.
“Copious amounts of Mountain Dew, Doritos, video games, and a sedentary lifestyle are all additional hallmarks of the neckbeard ethos.”

Meanwhile, another entry in Urban Dictionary describes neckbeards as “talkative, self-important nerdy men (usually age 30 and up) who, through an inability to properly decode social cues, mistake others' strained tolerance of their blather for evidence of their own charm.”

My partner used to work at a game store and would run MTG games for free on his off time. The way they would thanklessly trash the store every time was infuriating. There was one day he went into the bathroom and there was just piss all over the place. He stopped the entire tourney and made them all come into the bathroom to look at the mess, then had to explain to the group of "grown" men how to properly piss in a toilet. Don't even get me started on the smell in there during those times.

There are people in this world who refuse the vaccine because they don't trust the chemicals in it, but will spray an entire bottle of whateverthef**k Axe Bodyspray is made of all over themselves and into everyone's lungs.
Yeah, nobody said anything because they were trying to hold their breath / escape your aura of BO
Too busy choking on the stench to be able to speak. (the stench of BO mixed with far to much deodorant (and especially a deodorant like axe/lynx) is sickening ughh)

Never mind the smell, what about the skin conditions? Wash that dead skin off, it goes manky if you don't eeeewwww
And then they get fungal skin infections and see doctors.

I have one of those air fresheners that spray out in the room with my cat’s liter box. It doesn’t kill the smell. All it does is make the room smell like flower scented cat p!ss. So I don’t even want to imagine how he smells 🤢
As a female, I would love to share an outright honest opinion with the male population: The smell of Axe body spray makes us want to puke... but hey, if we do puke, the smell MIGHT just cover up the horrible stench of that awful spray. And mixed with 62 days of body odor... 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮. Wash the damn stench (ehem, bacteria) off your skin and buy some f*****g actual cologne like Armani or something.
The smell of your unwashed ass alone would probably peel paint. Don't think others didn't pick up on your revolting stench just because you can no longer smell yourself, you filthy hamster.
Good gravy. I hope this is just a troll. As one who has found himself in a subway car in the summer with an unfortunate soul who hasn't bathed, 62 days and mold and fungus start to grow. No amount of teenage wishful thinking and AXE will mask the underlying stench.
The old "showers take too long" it's utter bs. You can shower in 3 minutes, slightly longer if you need to wash your hair. If you don't shower it's not lack of time
Anyone who believes this has obviously NOT been a boys counselor at a summer camp. The only thing AXE was good for was killing the flies.
They couldn't speak because they were all holding their breath as they quick trotted away. AXE is way - WAY - worse than BO.
I think that sum'bitch walked past my place the other night. Either that or a truck with a load of Axe BS crashed and spilled its load nearby.
Just a message to every twelve year old and neckbeards, axe body spray doesn’t smell attractive. Also PLEASE shower.
My downstairs neighbour douses himself in so much body spray or deodorant that when a package was accidentally delivered to him and he brought it to me, my eyes started water when I opened the door! Most of the time, he lives with his girlfriend but I can always smell him when he's coming to pick up his mail!
62 days without a shower, that is just horrendous, longest I went was 6 days at a music festival once, and I felt nasty.
Because everyone prefers smelling Axe body spray rather than soap. (e_e)
Axe body spray is the worst and it is even more worse when mixed with BO. The smell did not just magically disappear trust me. Plus I can only imagine how much d**k cheese and butt funk this guy accumulates after 62 days....I need to go barf now.
Axe / Lynx is nasty enough from one spray, let alone 62 day cumulative amount of the stuff, ugggh. I can feel the gag just reading that
They don't look at the bottom of the shower after 62 days of not bathing. Where all the dirt and dead skin cells go to die
He knows precisely how long he’s gone without showering for so long? What a perversely weird thing to be proud of.

This is probably super confusing without knowing the reference. There was an episode of Rick and Morty where Rick went off on a tangent about the sauce when it was available at McDonalds years ago. McDonalds rolled with the sudden interest in the sauce and brought some back very briefly. Some Rick and Morty fans got super excited about it.

I don't find this amusing. I understand that there are people with bad behavior, characteristics, etc. but there is a lot of reference to them being fat and generalizing this "group" in general leaves a bad taste in my mouth. By no means do I condone any of the sexist or homophobic statements and feel those individuals got the comments they deserve. However when others are openly hateful and insulting to a "group" I don't think they are effectively promoting better behavior.
I fit most of the criteria of a neckbeard and still think these posts were hilarious. It's really about their a-hole attitude and their entitlement, and not about looks or interests.

Neckbeards is basically an alternative word for incel, if that helps. The same group that has terrorist cells like the one who helped arrange the mosque shooting in Christchurch. So yeah they aren't all innocent

Not too familiar with "neckbeards." Fedoras... Anime... beards... and MAGA hats? Seems like they're simultaneously being called Trumpsters and hipsters, which seems unlikely. But then, I'm an old married guy, so what do I know. It just seems that venting pure hatred upon anyone doesn't seem very cool.
Nobody’s venting pure hatred except the incels. They’re ugly on the inside, they act like women owe them everything and get pissed off when women refuse them, and they refuse to shower. Yes how dare people be annoyed about that.

Nasty generalisations aren't exactly the best way to show people how to be better humans.
I have a neck beard, not by choice, I shave it every once I a while when it gets too long. I have great hygiene, anime is ok I guess, I have zero swords,think fedoras look ridiculous... isnt it kind of wrong to judge someone based on their appearance? I'm not gonna lie, this brought my already low self esteem even lower. Thanks BP.😞
"It's not nice to be mean to neckbeards" say the comments. To which I reply, check out an incel forum and see how much hate they have for anyone who isn't a straight white male. Being mean to someone for their CHOICE in how they interact with the world is not at all the same as being mean to someone for something they can't control.
Then why is being mean to ugly people (their looks being a thing they can't control) so socially accepted and encouraged?
Load More Replies... I know quite a few people who would be put into this category. All I can say is that most of them are really nice people who are just on the fringes of social normalcy. Whether they are on the autism spectrum (as am I) or have mental health issues, or atypical personalities, like everyone else, they are just looking for companionship and belonging. I don't want those people lumped together with the open misogynists and haters who deserve to be scorned and ridiculed.

I clearly am not the nerd I thought I was, or spend much time on the internet, because I don't get most of this.
Mental health awareness, please, and also some mental health *treatment*. Thank you.
Appearence, interests and social anxiety (afraid to ask a girl out) aren't the factor to be a neckbeard - it's the personality and behaviour that's to blame.
Wikipedia has a definition, and urban dictionary, but some believe its more about appearance, others more about the behaviour, and some a mixture I guess?

I just don't get all the fedora hate. Fedoras a cool. Indiana Jones wears a fedora. Neckbeards usually wear trilbys, not fedoras. It's a totally different hat. Trilbys can be cool too, but you have to be meet certain criteria to wear them properly. Those are being a jazz singer, a hardboiled detective or in a similar profession.
Damn i always wear a fedora but im not one of these gross weird creepy pervs 🤮 i just like fedoras goths wear them too!
Same. I have one black fedora with a faux rose on it and I love it so much.

I saw disturbingly many incels on youtube and internet, but what worries me more is there are women who are also incels towards other women and speak against women and feminism on social medias, requesting men should get more rights and preaching how "too privileged" women are today. Many of these women are highly educated. Why?
Thinking the Incel jokes are inappropriate atm. It has been 2 days since Jake Davison who, after ranting on I Tetney about being an Incel, s**t his mother, 4 year old girl and her adoptive father and two others before taking his own life, in Plymouth, England. Can't laugh at this post.
No. Also, being hated and rejected by everyone for being too ugly to be loved is the only incel thing.

Another unkind, bullying, stereotyping BP post. This site is so frustrating how it alternates between this kind of ugly, mean-spirited humanity, and those uplifting, charming, and anti-bullying posts. I truly wish BP would just choose kindness every time, and leave the slobbering, mass hatred to reddit. Guess not as many clicks though 💔
See its that sort of baked in misogyny ( and the occasional terrorist act against women) that makes incel/ neckbeards so unpalatable. Its not "man hating"
