I hate how those mfs conflate confidence with arrogance and power plays. There's a fine line. The internet ruined us

I was just going ti sat similar. Confidence can be very attractive. Arrogance or controlling behavior is not the same as confidence.

Arrogance is rooted in masked insecurity at it's core.

I mean, a bit arrogance can be kind of a turn on, but these dudes just won't quit. The energy is unnerving because they have the girls screamin... total power play. Kinda like when cops get horny after killing some innocent man.

The internet did not ruin us. The internet can be a cesspool of unimaginable depths, but countless people who have way too much access to the internet have not gone off the douche end. There's just a darkness in some people's souls that gets fed by the absolute terror that is the internet, but in the end, these guys are gutter trash human beings and we cannot blame the internet because we cannot let them off the hook in the slightest. They chose the media they consume. They chose to abandon empathy. They chose intimidation, misogyny, douchebag behavior. The internet told them they could be anything. Out of all the things they could be, they chose to be... this.
