I've always found the rape discourse and ephebephilia to be strategic with these people. Not that maybe the key figures aren't also just perverts, but it seems like they extrapolate from old /pol/ and 4chan culture that they could filter huge swathes of people by encouraging that sort of talk, and for those left after the filtering, they feel a sense of exclusivity and parasocial connection. Also a lot A LOT of these people are NYC wanna be theater kids, which means they all secretly believe they can be Louis C.K. In the mind of a Ney Yorkoid, humor is just about getting away with harsh vinegary speech, so it seems to be a skateboard trick of sorts for these vile Yankees to sit around in a circle, waxing rapish, or rapely. Most bizarre is the blatant pedophilia that springs up from around BAP and Fuentards alike. It's as if nobody has any concept of the most basic cointelpro psyops, that everyone should be wary of by now. I hate to give the Antifa people some credit here, but it seems like they know to disperse and reorganize when they've been psyopped and the online right just wants to get their ass MKUltra'd and guilt by associationed at every fucking turn.
