And of course Bob misses the meaning of the idiom, "Forgive and forget." The "forget" is not so much forgetting, but letting go of any past bitterness towards an individual or group. As long as he harbors resentment in his heart, his "forgiveness" is effectively meaningless because he will hold whatever perceived slight against them over them for the rest of his life. Unfortunately for Bob, past resentment towards others is practically the only thing that give his life meaning because it is what fuels his unfettered malice and unearned sense of superiority over vast swaths of the population. Case in point, the reason why he still keeps the #RehireJamesGunn in his Twitter handle because he cannot let go of that "transgression" against him. It does not matter that Disney is never, EVER going to bring James Gunn back to direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Bob needs to feel powerful in his own mind to stave off the realization that he has no influence in his chosen field.
The irony of this is that his clinging on to past resentments makes him look flaccid (partly because of the beetus') and helpless. Hell, it has been twenty years since he graduated from high school and he never, ever let go of the resentment he held against his alleged "bullies." He simply transferred it towards "gamer bros" and the working class, but it goes to show that the people who tormented him still hold power over him long after they forgot who he was. Lord, it would be hilarious if Bob went to his class reunion and gloats about his "accomplishments" to his ex-bullies and their response would be, "Who the fuck are you?" Hell, most of his classmates would laugh at how he still obsesses over Nintendo as a single middle-aged man with no marriage or career prospects.
Honestly, I believe that Bob's recent admissions about anxiety are a subconscious realization that he knows that he wasted his life. He seems to have all but given up on having children of his own and seems to have now focused on his niece and nephew. All he has to show for it are the grudges he carried for a lifetime and the vacuous entertainment Disney spoon feeds him to assuage the pain of his pathetic existence.
