I didn't even know about the Groypers till Charlie Kirk was killed by one.

I only knew Nick Fuentes as "That guy who tried to sue Antifa" and later "The Right Winger who disavowed Trump in 2024"

Apparently there's controversy about him not "really" being an Incel because he had a girlfriend in high school, and he believes anything outside of being celibate is gay, because being affectionate with a woman is unmanly.... and I'm like...

"This is too much even for me."

I know him as "that MAGA loser who's a fiercly proud incel and got caught with tabs of gay porn open on a stream".

But to be honest I thought he had completely vanished into insignificance over the last 5 years. Sadly this appears incorrect.

That would be volcel not incel. Can't be involuntary if you want it.

I didn't even know about Charlie Kirk until Charlie Kirk was killed by a groyper. I knew there was some rightwing crank being mocked for having a tiny face on a huge head, but that was it. My main reaction after the shooting was "damn, that really is a tiny face".

He was the splitting image of the default Mii character.

They had to go for the neck because the face was too small a target.

I only learned about him when I was still on Reddit via people posting quotes on the 'whitepeopletwitter' subreddit. Between him, Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh being constantly posted there, I damn near lost my mind at the sheer combined idiocy of them all and had to unsub.

Lol exactly the same here

Wait'll you hear about that time Fuentes accidentally streamed himself watching gay porn. Or his date with a catboy!

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Go on

Lots of info on Nick can be found on his RationalWiki entry. See the "Haggard's Law" section for info and links to sources about the things I mentioned.

I'm sorry to ask, but is there a source that isn't Rational Wiki?

No no, I shouldn't let my own issues with the site get in the way of good faith reporting. I'll have a look at this when I can

[–] LengAwaits@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are a lot of sources. Try the following search engine queries:

Nick Fuentes streams gay porn
Nick Fuentes Catboy Date

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Nick Fuentes Catboy Date

That sounds like name of a softcore visual novel on Steam.
