Dashboard osmosis to the rescue!
AFAICT, it’s because a lot of rightists and edgelords who refuse to censor their self-expression just because someone finds it offensive were very offended by people being cute and cuddly where other people could see them.
They think it is not Serious Person Attitude because only manly stoics who never show emotions other than shedding a single tear over the tragic necessity of having to oppress all the not-white-man-people are Serious People.
This made them conclude that the people who aren’t interested in keeping up a facade of Serious Person are n e o t e n i c degenerates; the men are either cucks or women, the women are sluts, and the rest don’t real.
Everyone else laughed because the Serious Persons are the ones missing out on all the cuddling and polyamory and hotness pills and being able to show vulnerability and sincerity and still being able to be an impressive achiever if that’s what one is into (example: me).
