There's probably some Penn State joke here too, but I don't know.

Probably just a sports fan - I know a lot of schools with animal mascots will have tails for people to put on their cars; ex. Mizzou Tigers fans have tiger tails, etc.

A funny thing just occurred to me about neckbeards dressing like film noir detectives to make themselves look classy:

Film noir wasn't classy. Noir was darker, scuzzier, less sanitized than the other media of the day. Noir was sex and violence for a less permissive time than today. It was how the 30's and 40's did "gritty". Everybody wore trenchcoats and fedoras because those were the clothes of the common man, which is why the outfit became so synonymous with spies: it's as generic and inconspicuous a look as you can get for the era.

It would be the equivalent of people in the year 2090 dressing like the cast of CSI because that's their idea of true class.

I wish I could find something bigger, but Nigel Farage is a perfect example of all three. In fact, all of the UKIP's MEPs are.

The last one is the best. In the other ones it's like he is pretending like he isn't doing it on purpose, but in that one he is just owning the fact that he is groping strangers.

The hired scantily clad girls at conventions thing is just weird. Every time I see a picture of one there is some nerd borderline trying to cop a feel on them. I'm surprised there isn't rules against touching at those events so no one gets sued.

I'm pretty sure there are rules,right? Someone explained the existence of hover hands,because they weren't allowed to touch them.

I hope he got kicked out of those conventions and banned for life by security...

Sorry, that's a chrome plugin I have, Dictionary of Numbers. It makes reading the Awful Kickstarter thread funnier. I didn't notice that until I'd compiled and uploaded the image.

Even if I looked like one of those girls, I just could not do their jobs. As much as you'd think "standing around and looking pretty" would be an easy job, it's unbelievable what they have to put up with. I'd probably lose my job telling some grabby asshat to step off.

A bronie dating site would be about 90% male because I doubt the old-school MLP fans would have anything to do with it.

I'm pretty sure that profile is fake, it's just too perfect. The only thing he's missing is the neckbeard.

I mean, to be fair, he could have asked before taking the pictures and known the girls already. Doesn't make the pictures any less skeezy without context, though. I had an immediate need to punch that dude in the face when I first saw them.

Maybe they shouldn't dress like that then? They're right there with their tits hanging out, what do they expect?

Getting paid to stand around and look pretty sounds like the easiest gig in the world until you think about what type of crowd the very existence of that job is going to attract.

That OK cupid is pretty transparently fake unless you want to believe a teenager who watches MLP makes $40k-50k a year. It intentionally goes out of its way to hit a different square of the bingo card with each paragraph. And I'm going to blow your mind by suggesting the photograph might not be the same guy that made the post.

I don't think the profile is real, but I'd like to point out that the guy in the pictures is wearing a different outfit in each picture. He dressed up in a suit and fedora to go to the MLP section of some toy store on at least three different occasions.

That looked to me like it was just lighting/white balance.

The tie, pants and hat are completely different between the 1st and 2nd images, no amount of white balance is going to make a fedora into a bowler hat.

e: also the jacket has a left breast pocket with handkerchief in the second shot, no left breast pocket at all in the first. They are most clearly different outfits.

There's a lot of talk about these for pictures and I'm not sure why as they look pretty photoshopped to me. Pretty sure if they were real he'd be kicked out pretty fast. Plus there would be some indication of 'hey this guy's grabbing my tits' on their faces.

Actually you're right. I you look closely they do look shopped. The photos are noticeably blurrier around the hands and also the area at their waists where his hands probably were originally.
