A lot of forums are like that. But yeah, Lucas isn't really deserving of all the vitriol- at the end of the day he's really just a schizophrenic homeless man that's terrified of human interaction outside of social media.
I think some people are unaware aside his insanity his social issues keep him from being a real danger. If he wasn't so scared of interaction, I honestly think he'd get even more hate (and justified) as he'd be a risk to the public. There's a big difference from a disease ridden, hobo pedophile that stands around a park with a boner, and one who tries picking up and running off with a teenager.
Have we stumbled onto the reason why anti-vaxxers or anyone who is anti-science believes the way they do?
I'm sure
@Caracticus can expand better being they are actively learning how people tick. But from my understanding and experiences with stuff like this, it's desire first of all, second it's fear and shock. Zealotry of any kind is able to close out simple facts, let's take something like flat earth. They offer 29 dollar or less flights sometimes. Less than a day min wage pay, you can prove flat earth wrong. Anyone into flat earth is fucking nuts and stupid. Period. Why is it a thing? Some people are fucking nuts and stupid. Then things harder to prove, like moon landing, there's a conspiracy attached, people deep into those tend to think the entire world will just dump limitless amounts of time and effort into trolling or to do something to prove a point that doesn't really make sense.
Lastly we have escapism, anti vax falls into it a lot, look sadly not every birth is healthy or safe, sometimes the parents are at fault, genetically, mother poor prenatal care but many times when they do all they can to have and protect a child something goes wrong, guilt racks them. The guilt becomes so life consuming, they can't take the punishment they bring on themselves and boom, shift the blame. When really getting a therapist would be a lot better for everyone instead of creating a super plague.
To be honest, Lucas is so far gone from society and sanity, I really wouldn't want to rule out, even if pedophiles, heebaphiles etc were completely socially accepted he'd still be on this crazy shit. It's part of his peacocking. He has this science no one else knows or can grasp. When really it's about as dumb as when your 6 year old niece tells you her friend can throw a fire ball. Just not when people are looking, or a camera is around. A 6 year old trying to sound cool is perfectly healthy and adorable, Lucas is nearly 40 and trying to science his dick in a kid. Thankfully I'd say the IRL hadoken, probably has a better shot of happening.
