Well, I understand him.
Right now he's going through a real awkward cringe patch of life ,little socialization, no friends. Unwillingly a recluse with a real bad string of social faux pas
He knows its wrong but does it anyway because it gives him a sense of superiority and a way to vent. And the negative spiral keeps going because what fantasy does is soothe the pain it doesn't fix it.
he probably would fix it if he could but he doesn't know how
So I don't hate him. He might be cringe, he might be gross but i can understand him. People always harp on about the result but not the cause. Its way better than deciding his wrist needs some BBQ grill lines
