Tough Meta Thread

the most important element is the back and forth. they've got to be people who threaten critics.
Is that the explicit intent behind creating this board and "Internet Tough Guys" is just the name assigned to it? I ask because in my mind the archetypal mall ninja who makes outrageous claims about his combat prowess, but diligently ignores those pointing out that he's full of shit, is very much an ITG. To me the most important element is repeatedly making claims that would put the individual in the top tier of humanity if they were true (but clearly aren't).

Anyway sticking with the stated guidelines I nominate Billy Mitchell.
 
This is the best board evar, and it’s creation is a source of deep joy.

oh god. I tried to find him genuinely blanking on the name. I keep wanting to call him Omega Lord but that wasn't turning up results. Goofy looking dude with a haircut like a potted plant. Had that video of him threatening to beat the shit out of his elderly dad? I have no clue if he's still active.

Some common traits of Internet Tough Guys:

  • Boastful. Everyone must know how tough they are.
  • Fragile egos.
  • Usually losers in real life. Tough guy persona is how they cope.
  • Dunning Krueger syndrome. They know a little about a subject then declare themselves experts.
  • Real life personalities are often timid and weak. If someone actually calls their bluff and comes to fight them they'll cry and shit themselves.
  • Narcissistic.
  • Fat.
  • Emotionally/intellectually stunted.
By that standard, I'd recommend Robert Chipman, AKA Moviebob.
  • He's constantly bragging about how much he knows and how he can punch Nazis.
  • His ego is more brittle than a thin sheet of ice, but he's smart enough to hide behind the Block button
  • He's a literal 40-year-old who lives with his mother.
  • He's a moron who knows nothing about the subjects he talks about.
  • I don't think anyone's challenged Moviebob, but a lot of his "tough guy" moments happen where nobody can verify them. Curious.
  • He EARNED the Superior Future, dammit!
  • We don't call him the "Diabetic Dictator" for nothing.
  • He loves Disney and children's media.

There’s a great video on that guy by DankNet, though its a bit old now. No clue if we have a thread on him here.

Here’s his new channel, it seems, as well:
 
I'd recommend Steven Crowder, even though he is more known for being Internet famous. He did cosmetic surgery to make him look buff and verbally abused his (now ex) wife, even having the household use one car despite being rich to "control" his wife. Also a control freak that made a lot of people leave his YouTube staff. Also very egotistical and a closeted homo.
 
Even though it isn’t a very active thread (although it has been posted in within the last 2 months), a perfect fit for this thread would be Dan Nainan. He definitely has the “threaten critics” thing down, as well as the comically inflated ego.

If you want a good rundown on the guy, check out this video:
I mean, just listen to the part at 5:20

He doesn’t really threaten people on the internet though.
 
This is a good idea for a board. I'll keep my eye open for anything that rings a bell. It's about time that the farms toughen up!

Maybe Cyraxx would fit? He threatens people a lot, I mean those people are the same two or three guys over and over again but threats are issued.

Everyone also keeps mentioning Tonka, maybe he deserves a little memorial statue or something.

Edit: Oh look he's already here, lol
 
Not sure if William Gibson belongs in this forum but that man is a total spastic boomer lolcow who gloats about antivax people dying from COVID and he supports arresting J6 protestors. Don’t know if he’s an internet tough guy (although he endorses jailing people who oppose his narrow boomer mind), but he is a political spergcow for sure

And while Gibson himself doesn’t always write out the tweets, the man spends literally day on Twitter retweeting how much he wants to jail his opponents lmfao

Finally a board for MEN.:deagleleft::jaceknife::deagle:
That reminds me. Charlotte Clymer is my pick for a man who belongs here, although he's less active now. He fights people on Twitter, has IRL Tough Guy moments when he argues with restaurant managers about being let into the women's room, and went to West Point. Totally tough!
Jon Frimann could fit in here, he told Null he was going to get something like 400 years in prison.
I know that we don't want to enfatten Patrick's ego by making a Pat board, but maybe it would be fun to have Pattiverse tags for Frimann, Wacky Jackie, Shame Nokes and Hi-Fi (once he gets a thread)?

Is this a description of people on this board or characteristics of Melinda Scott?
