‘Neckbeards’: 35 Times People Shared Their Opinions Without Realizing How Hateful They Are
"Neckbeard" is a pejorative online term to describe a person who exhibits social awkwardness, underachievement, and pretentiousness.
It's a reference to the poor grooming and hygiene standards associated with these folks, and their facial hair in particular, which, according to the stereotype, is unkempt and extends down their neck.
This doesn't mean that every guy with man fur under his chin automatically becomes one. Plus, people's personalities are so nuanced that it's often impossible to make an accurate assessment of them from something they say on the internet.
However, it it does mean that if you are hateful towards others just because you need to mask your personal insecurity and a lack of self-confidence, you might end up on the subreddit 'Neckbeard' as punishment. Here are the ones who did.

Stop Kissing M’ladys Hand
Dr. Lauren Rosewarne, author of 'Cyberbullies, Cyberactivists, Cyberpredators: Film, TV, and Internet Stereotypes' and Associate Professor in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne, Australia, said a good example of a neckbeard in popular culture is Jeff Albertson from The Simpsons.
"The fat, pony-tailed and bearded sarcastic misanthrope [is] more commonly known as the Comic Book Guy," she said. "In the Bart the Fink episode, Albertson wheels a barrow full of tacos through town commenting 'Yes, this should provide adequate sustenance for the Doctor Who marathon.'
Then there's Plague from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011). "Surrounded by junk food packaging, this greasy hacker has the gracelessness to use the toilet – door agape – with [the] company still in his apartment."

"Stop Telling Me To Get A Job"
"At a cursory glance, the neckbeard is an easy figure to both loathe and laugh at: he’s the fat guy whose whole pathetic life plays out exclusively in cyberspace," Dr. Rosewarne said.
"This screen stereotype, however, has other interesting elements to it."

Is That So Much To Ask??
At its inception, virtually every new technology had been associated with fears of addiction and the internet certainly hadn't avoided this, either.
As Dr. Rosewarne pointed out, by the mid-1990s, the online world was said to be ruining relationships and socially isolating teenagers.
"The screen’s neckbeard is a product of this: he's not just a user of the technology, the technology is his life."

The answer is there. Why not just wash? Is this 'I'm right and smarter" or is it depression?
In this context, the neckbeard is a physical incarnation of modern gluttony – too much sedentariness, too much darkness, too much isolation, too much computing.
"He is what happens to the body – to society – when we become too reliant on machines: we go soft, we go to fat," Dr. Rosewarne added.

"The neckbeard is unkempt, of course, because heft and dishevelment are regularly coupled on screen in a culture loathing of fatness," she continued. "But he’s unkempt because of his computing. He’s not leaving his basement, he’s not socializing; the machine has made him reclusive and facilitated his isolation."
But as you can see from these pictures, as well as our previous publications on the subreddit People On This Group Are Shaming ‘Neckbeards’, And Here Are 30 Of Their Best Posts and 30 Entitled ‘Neckbeards’ Who Showed Their True Colors, As Shared By This Online Group (New Pics), the neckbeard is often also a jerk. Be it a misogynist, or just another troll, this character amuses himself by being a bastard online.

Who Hurt This Guy?
Dr. Rosewarne said the repulsive exteriors of this stereotype "function as an insight into their filthy psychology."
"These men are socially isolated, and behind their monitors (and invariably in the bravery of mom’s basement), they get to stand up to their tormentors – to the women, for example, who ignored them – and feel a modicum of (digital) power," she said.
No wonder we love to hate these characters.

Islamic law states that husband and wife should run errands with mutual discussion. Husband should help his wife in everyday chores along with managing bread and butter for the family. Any country going against it cannot be declared Islamic. Relegion might not be everyone's priority but it should not be blamed for people's miserable actions.

Psychological thriller...imagine if this train of thought is gaining momentum and in 10 years more and more will think like this. It's why I never watched the Handmaids tale, I read the synopsis and it was too horrible for me. It's not just a "distopian" novel, it's a thriller, horror. A very very scary tale.

To people who think humans are “innately good,” these are but a few examples of the horrid things some humans think, want and act upon. Some of these people are misguided and can change but many are beyond hope. While we shouldn’t assume people are bad or will do bad things, we must be on guard for people like this.

Yeah, because guys like this are often too cowardly to be this openly misogynistic in person, or if they do, only within their own circles. (Gentle criticism, but calling us 'females' is commonly associated with guys like these; it's an adjective that treats girls/women like we're a different species. I'd be very grateful if you could start calling us girls, women, ladies, etc.)

The fact that men like this exist by the thousands is proof enough that sexuality is not a choice; no woman would voluntarily be attracted to this.

These guys need to get AI girlfriends. It's their best hope of a simulated relationship. Usually I'm not a fan of AI "relationships" but given that these guys don't seem to view women as actual people, the lack of authentic intimacy and personhood is probrably not an issue for them.
