Yeah but then you'd see everyone with Moebius syndrome or some type of facial paralysis acting like Russ does.
I think he's just a special case and would be just the same without the paralysis, except he wouldn't have the "disability card" to fall back on, so he'd blame something else like other incels do (e.x. height, weight, facial structure, etc).
Not necessarily.
Moebius Syndrome is very rare, so we don’t actually know that much about how others with it act.
It’s quite possible that they also display some of Russ’s lack of empathy, but in a less pronounced form.
(Dumb example but... Chris-Chan is an autist, but we don’t see other autists claim they’re a literal goddess.)
In those cases where it has been noticed by doctors or others, it might have been dismissed as personality quirk, or as a side effect of depression.
Again, Moebius Syndrome is so rare that it’s hard to do statistical analysis or comparisons of. A doctor who have come across one person with it, is unlikely to ever run into another one.
Having said that, I don’t buy it 100%, but
@Dial M for Misgender might be on to something here.
Usually when people win big (eg. Lotto) and go somewhere it's scenic and enjoyable, like Fiji or Hawaii or Paris.
Russ doesn't want to go to any of these places, or see anything fun and scenic. When he wins big he goes to a brothel.
Does he even take a look around when he goes to Nevada?
If I was as obsessed with brothels as him, I’d at least make it interesting. Fuck, for the money he’s been spending on overpriced brothels in Nevada, he could have taken a trip to Tijuana or Thailand and actually seen a completely different country on top of going to whores.
He’s a sad, weird little man.
