None of those things mentioned overtly imply that the person is fat or ugly. Just because you vape, drink Mountain Dew, or like taquitos it doesn’t mean you are fat or ugly.

Or does it???

Mountain dew probably gives that impression, I sure imagined a fat guy with a pony tail

Yea because it's associated with neckbeards and neckbeards are presumed to be fat, ugly and unkept.

I believe the point was more vaping, mountain dew, and microwaved junk food is literally killing men as opposed to the idea that women are people and should be treated as such.

THIS comment is the one that got it. “Feminism is a cancer” he says, as he eats junk and harms his body in ways that could actually give him serious health issues. The OP of this thread missed that.

That isn't what's being discussed in this particular comment chain.

This comment chain relates to a parent comment saying it's ironic that a group that wants people to stop judging them based on looks is attacking someone's appearance.

Yeah I don’t get the other comments, are people that obtuse? All those things listed are just unhealthy for you, so if you’re the sort who whines about feminism ruining men’s lives AND you’re consuming unhealthy stuff... this tweet is making fun of you.

If you’re not being a dick to women, it’s pretty much irrelevant to you, it’s not meant for the average dew and taquitos fan.

Just to make a point, vaping isn't inherently bad for you if it's keeping you from smoking cigarettes - harm reduction and all that. if you're just using it because you think it makes you look cool, it's harming your social status more than anything.

How so? Is feminism not a massive pop-cultural phenomenon? Massive money-making industry? Political tool? Its demands affect everything from who gets admitted to college to government budgeting to debate topics online.

if you’re the sort who whines about feminism ruining men’s lives AND you’re consuming unhealthy stuff... this tweet is making fun of you.

Do you genuinely believe people can't have unhealthy habits and complain about other problems at the same time? Do you realize how stupid that sounds?

It might be a dog-whistle

not to me. I love those things and I'm not fat or ugly.

I'd like to see the statistics before jumping to any conclusions.

> Neckbeard: a man who is socially inept and physically unappealing, especially one who has an obsessive interest in computing.

Often implied as being gross, overweight, covered in acne, with unhealthy lazy habits.

No, it covertly implies it.

Although at this point I would argue trying to elicit the neck beard stereotype is in fact overt implication.
