‘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.

Too funny - I actually said that out loud before I scrolled down to the text.
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."

These little worms think media companies have to met some diversity quota. No adding Black characters is an invitation to Black people to come share the fantasy. Black elves in LOTR invites Black people to become Tolkien fans, and these little racist idiots can't understand that.
To be fair, some shows/games/movies *have* a certain quota to fulfill. But it's usually those that turn out to be s**t anyway because the producers were forced to work around some business plans instead of telling a story.

What? Like, seriously, that's the dumbest thing I've seen today! Bet he's also upset knowing that the people in anime are actually majorly supposed to be Japanese, so, Asian folks, and not "pristiiiiiine whiiiiite" folks like him?
"Anime is supposed to be a perfect world..." Dude has obviously never watched Grave of Fireflies. That world, not so perfect. Great movie. I will never watch it again.
Oh my god I watched that recently, gorgeous movie but it f****d me up.

I wonder what adding my fist to the world of his face would change? I guess nothing. To quote a famous german comedian: "One can't fix a genetically messed up thing by beating alone." ;)
I am now thinking of someone beating off alone. That way, they don't pass on their genetic miswiring.

Or...idk...instead of turning non black characters into black characters.....artists could be original and create new black anime characters. Just an idea
Relax incel. There are plenty of anime where all the characters are white, blonde, and thin. If they were IRL they still wouldn't sleep with you! 😆
Could we please start tracking people like this and have them taken out? I'm all for secret government ops removing living abortions like this from society.
but the same folks who see nothiing wrong with being racist are the ones against abortions
Load More Replies... That is an old issue within anime, those cellar dwellers gave Yoruichi Shihōin from Bleach sh*t because she was dark skinned and much to their chagrin one of the coolest characters in that series, https://bleach.fandom.com/wiki/Yoruichi_Shih%C5%8Din
What anime is the second one? I really like the art style!
Anime characters are fine if they're black. AS LONG AS THEY DON'T change the race of a character that's supposed to be, say, Japanese. An ORIGINAL black character is great IMO. Sorry if what I said is confusing.
Let’s hear it for the MAGA anime universe - it’s just perfect! In this world pathetic losers get all the women and all the women are ‘10’s and no one works and they have all the shades of white skin from albino to farmer’s tan! In the anime universe all the guys live with their moms and the women love them even more for…’supporting their mom” (whatever living with her means when you are 36). And jobs?!? In the anime universe they all pay $100K and they only hire WHITE men (no women, Latinos, or Blacks). It is so wonderful that we all want to live there - including women, Blacks, Latinos, and Jews ( he forget to mention that he hates them too!)
Let's add more black people, maybe it will repel them from anime fandoms. All they do is sexualize characters who are children.
I actually re read this comment with utter belief that some pond scum had even commented like that
Please don’t insult pond scum in that manner… 😉

I wonder what the heck black people ever did to this guy to make him run along and hide in anime?
He's a racist. Black people didn't "do" anything to him.

The fact that YOU like anime is the thing that ruins anime, not the diversity in the anime.
Anime was originally a world for Japanese people to escape to. Adding white people to that world kind of defeats that purpose. (Therre. Fixed it for you.)
My eyes are quite literally the definition of "boggling" right now. 😲😳
Hating on kids not cool, nor is it sanctioned by the twerp society.
You can't what? Accept the fact that people come in all sorts of colors, shapes, sizes, genders, sexuality, religious/non-religious beliefs? Is that what the racist incel is trying to say?
Study psychology. It helps you understand why people are like this.
Woke. Woke. Woke. Woke. Woke. Why leave out Animé ?? Let’s tick all the woke boxes in everything, everywhere with everybody 😑😑

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.

Upvoting anything in this post feels wrong despite it’s just changing the orders on BP.
same... It feels as if you are "liking" what is said while it's actually scary. 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.

I had a difficult time reading through these. I am still hoping someone will tell me these are joke posts and not real.
Unfortunately no, they are very real. For the most part these are men who were raised to be dependents, unable to function in society without someone else to be their minder.

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.
Education is everything. Most of these creeps seem very ignorant, and completely lacking any empathy.

Whelp, regret my decision to read this article. I'm gonna go quietly hate people in a corner now.
Wow, that was eye-opening. I never see this irl. What is wrong with these people? Is it so hard to talk to women? It doesn't matter, these troglodytes would be sunk the moment they opened their mouths.
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.)
Load More Replies... 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.
sometimes I don't understand why a serial killer would just kill strangers but after reading this post it kinda makes sense
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.
This post is making me lose faith in humanity. Why are they like this?
Oh look. The downvote fairies back again… prepare the satanic rituals
