    Yeah the answer is basically in the comment, his monologues read like an edgy 13 year old trying to sound cool and badass. It’s probably 90% edgy 13 year olds who made content that adores him, and the remaining 10% are older people who haven’t developed the skills to see further than that.

    I do think a huge overlooked part are the people who use the memes ironically too. When they first started popping up, even when they weren’t self aware, I was happy to see memes made from outside the current zeitgeist and from a film I liked so I generally showed them my support. Now a meme of it can be made that’s totally without irony and I recognise it as part of the format more than someone who is oblivious about the film.
