Yeah it’s really absurd. It’s like seeing a homeless guy showing off a nice new white shirt and being like “fuck that dude somebody should take him down a peg” and throwing coffee on him. How much of a weirdo sadist do you have to be to see somebody living a pretty miserable existence and thinking to yourself “no, no, no, he’s not miserable enough for my tastes I’ve got to do something about this.”
They’re just sickos. They’re that kid that didn’t grow out of pulling the legs off spiders. They get a sick pleasure from being able to anonymously torment a mentally challenged man without repercussion. It’s also why they try so hard to paint him as a truly vile monster. If he’s a monster and an asshole and a criminal then they aren’t tormenting a mentally disabled adult, they’re serving a horrible person their just desserts.
It’s the same reason they get incredibly defensive when you call them out or disprove their made up “crimes” Josh is responsible for and call you a simp, defender, dick rider etc. They need the community to believe Josh is as horrible as they say he is to a) encourage more people to fuck with his life b) so that people don’t question the horrible shit they pull on him and c) so people don’t do the same to them.
