Far from everyone that you’ll meet online will be a polite, understanding, and upstanding member of society. What a shocker, we know! Some of the most arrogant, misogynistic, insecure people that you’ll find online are being called ‘neckbeards,’ and they spread their warped view of reality every chance they get on social media.
Just because you have an actual neckbeard or you like anime doesn’t actually make you, well, a neckbeard. However, the infamous neckbeards are stereotypically portrayed with beards on their necks, wearing fedoras, and sometimes even wielding katanas (made of steel folded 1,000,000 times, of course) while doing anime poses. But what makes neckbeards unique is their raging hatred of women, society, and themselves. To them, they’re ‘perfect’ as they are—the world is wrong, and has to adapt to their norms. And the worst of the bunch end up getting shamed on the r/justneckbeardthings subreddit.
An online community of 903k+ members, it gently pokes fun at the most toxic people you’ll meet on the interwebz. They’re loud. They have no idea how to be polite. And they’ve got the emotional range of teaspoons, with zeroes where their emotional intelligence scores should be. Scroll down for the worst neckbeards to be found online.
Bored Panda got in touch with comedy writer and author Ariane Sherine, who is an active social media user and has been on Twitter for over 13 years, to hear her take on neckbeards, how to deal with them, and whether there’s any hope for guys who behave awfully on the internet and in real-life. Unfortunately, she’s had to deal with a lot of nasty guys online who tried to mansplain stuff to her. Read on for the full exclusive interview and to learn why it’s best not to argue with people like that.
We hope you’re not allergic to fedoras, Doritos, and Mountain Dew, dear Pandas, because things are about to get intense! And when you’re done with this list, take a peek at Bored Panda’s previous feature of ‘Just Neckbeard Things’ right over here.
