I sometimes wonder looking at an obvious man like this, has he somehow convinced himself he actually passes somehow? Or is he just gloating about his fetish being fulfilled by everyone around him being forced by cancel culture to pretend they somehow actually believe this obvious man is female?
I'm convinced its entirely a narc power trip thing
He gets off on forcing people to pretend along with him.
Unless he's like legit fucking schizo and sees shit that isnt there theres no way this block headed mistake of a man can possibly think he looks female.
Here's my proposal on how Elliot operates with their body image: it's a cocktail of sheer denial, wishful thinking, echo-chamber reinforcement, and a need to be marginalized.
Elliot knows they look like shit, why else would they go through the effort of attempting to try and even work with their image at all? It's because they think that with just enough makeup, just the right attitude, the right tone; they can be a woman or at least a close approximation because they think it should be as natural as it is to just wake up and say "Hah, I'm a woman" while smelling like shit, dressing like shit, acting like shit, slouching like shit, and applying makeup like shit.
They want to be a woman but have no idea how to be one, so they just come off as a fucking man.
And no matter of nipping, tucking, or trying to make their voice higher pitched makes it work.
This is why Elliot is so focused on us. Because we refuse to have a filter for them or their shitty ideas.
We remind them that they aren't a pretty little asian girl, but instead a disgusting potbellied, Easter-island-headed troglodyte that is trying to impose his will onto the internet because of their insecurities.
