Wow, /u/Jesus-H-Christ is the fucking poster child for annoying, neckbeard know-it-alls. His whole post history looks like /r/justneckbeardthings quotes.
Jesus. You people really can't find a better adjective than neckbeard?
For that guy? No. That is a novelty throwaway account with two LOL CHRISTIANS posts a year ago, that was brought out of retirement in order to tell a girl how she really feels about makeup. That's a neckbeard, bro.
What is wrong with neckbeard?
I personally dislike it because it's mocking someone based on how they look.
Edit: I understand that it's used to mock people for being socially awkward. I'm not a big fan of that either. But, it's still a term that makes fun of how someone looks.
Just Neckbeard Things
It's not about the neckbeard on your face but about the neckbeard in your mind.
That being said, when you grow a beard please shave off some parts of the neck area and create a decent neckline.
And this is why I don't like razors as a redditor. You look beautiful with the neckbeard.
No I don't, my beard looked much better with some parts lopped off.
But you're just listening to what society tells you is attractive. You look beautiful with the neck beard bby!
You just have that neckbeard to attract the ladies!
I understand. I don't have to like it. There are people on reddit that call fat people 'ham planets' and 'land whale.' They'd defend those terms the same way - "it's a personality thing, not a fat thing."
lol that is completely incomparable. There are medical conditions that lead to obesity, becoming not obese is a difficult process that takes years of dedication. Growing a gross demibeard because you think it makes you look sophisticated isn't a medical condition, and it only takes a mirror, a razor, and a lucid interval of about ten minutes to get the hell rid of it. Quit trying to co-opt actual problems.
"This ridicule is ok, because our victims only require ten minutes to conform."
"abloo bloo bloo people expect me to conform to really basic, easy social standards and may very very lightly ridicule me on the internet if i fail to do so. i'm a VICTIM!"
SRD, everybody.

Christ. Are all of your arguments variations of elementary school insults?
All you've said is: "Yeah but you're an ugly" or "Stop being such a baby" and also "your clothes are ugly"

Some people have religious restrictions that prevent shaving.
Not being obese is easy. Just don't eat double-sized portions for every meal.
> Quit trying to co-opt actual problems.
I'll just stick with disliking it for mocking how someone looks then.
About as much so as mocking toe shoes or something.
There are some who are religious and don't shave.
I mean, someone can be a shithead without having shit on their head, just as someone can be a neckbeard without having a beard at all. Someone can be a bitch without having four legs or being in heat, someone can be a jackass without the requirement of a tail and hooves, and someone can be a twatwaffle without necessarily needing to have evenly-spaced pockets designed for the containment of delicious syrup and/or twats.
Can you come up with more of these please?
I don't think you're supposed to put twats in waffles.
"Neckbeard" isn't some inborn problem. You can shave. If somebody doesn't bother to put out the ten minutes of effort required to not be wearing a goddamn chinstrap of pubes around all day, that's kind of on them. It's not a limp or weird ears or something, it's a bad choice.
And obviously as everyone else said, "neckbeard" as it's used has way more to do with terminal nerdism than actual bad facial hair. Both are hilarious, both are fair game.
What if they don't care what /u/tightdickplayer thinks about them? Are you the Lord who we must all satisfy? The same could apply to this post about makeup?
I could say:
>"Makeup" isn't inborn problem. You can wipe it off. If somebody doesn't bother put out the ten minutes of effort required to not be wearing goddamn paint on their face all day, that's kind of on them. It's not a limp or weird ears or something, it's a bad choice.
No matter how you try to spin it, you are making fun of people for their appearance in the same thread where people are mocking others for rudely complimenting another because of their appearance.
Yep, it's just me, and neckbeards are just like makeup.
So if enough people think makeup is ugly it's ok to harass people for wearing it?
Where did harassment occur?
You've been justifying harassment this whole time.
It's not quite the same, it's far worse than mocking someone for wearing make-up, because wearing make-up is a choice, while growing facial hair is something which happens beyond one's control, so it's like mocking the size of someone's nose and then saying ''Well you should get nose reduction surgery if you don't want to be mocked''
There exist these things called razors which are used to prevent one's facial hair from becoming unsightly.
You are reinforcing what I said - you think people should alter their bodies to conform with your cultural norms, rather than altering your culture to accept people's natural appearance
So we shouldn't give any value to aesthetics?

And this is why I don't like shaving as an autistic transgender. You look beautiful with your neck pubes.
It is also a sign of failed masculinity and a lack of a proper male parent to tell the boy how to shave.
So many boys are raised by their overbearing mothers nowadays they graft onto the affectations of masculinity without actually knowing how to be a man. That's why nerdy people are obsessed with things like straight razors and fedoras. Because it makes them think of some romantic era where 'men were men'. While normal males just wake up every day and shave their face with one of many disposable or disposable cartridge razors and leave for work without donning a Bogart hat.
I grew up without a proper male parent. Didn't have any male parent for most of my life. I still learned how to shave and take care of basic hygiene. It's not rocket science, and I hardly think it comes down to an overbearing mother. Could be self-esteem or a lack of care about basic hygiene, and latching onto fedoras or straight blades can happen simply because old-timey=cool.
Please teach us more about your superior view of masculinity.
My dad died when I was seven and I managed not to own a trillby, so the lack of role models probably isn't the whole story.
I've had theories like this myself, though. It's sort of like a cargo cult version of manhood. Bunch of little Ron Swansons running around conspicuously drinking SCOTCH YOU GUYS SCOTCH and growing beards they shouldn't because they don't know what masculinity actually looks like and aren't brave enough to make their own version (which, if you ask me, is basically what it actually looks like).
I think it's partially the growing lack of dads, and also partially because of how the landscape has changed in society generally. We don't really have the option of supporting a lower middle class family off of a factory job any more, for example. We're living less and less in rural areas, so we're not out hunting and fishing and splitting firewood and all that dude shit. The "men were men" period never happened, obviously, but the cultural artifacts we have left over from the sepia-toned streets of Yesteryear are quickly fading out of our daily lives.
So is being fat for a lot of people, I still don't go around calling them names.
Just doubling down on that bad comparison, eh? Figure out how to cure obesity for like three dollars in about ten minutes and you'll have a point.
neckbeard is more of a frame of mind i thought
but you are correct, ill keep that in mind the next time i want to call someone a neck beard
The emphasis of the term is supposed to be on a certain type of socially disconnected and undeserving smug mentality, not a simple neck beard. It's not like you're gonna find someone bashing the Amish by calling them neckbeards.
If a neckbeard is someone with an undeservingly smug mentality, wouldn't that make like 50% of SRD and 99% of circlebroke neckbeards?
Pretty sure it just makes them smug, not a neckbeard. You need more of a disconnected from reality/society misunderstood genius tinge to it to make it full neckbeard.
That's makes sense, but there should be a term for them, just "smug" feels a little too generic
I understand that. If you follow the link I posted, you'll see that it's used to mock the way people look as much as it's used to mock people for being socially disconnected...
So is assface. Sometimes it's because someone has an assy face, sometimes it's because they're just an assface. Is there something wrong with that as well?
Do people really have assfaces?
Sure. I'm certain you've seen an assy face at some point in your life, a face that just screamed out to you that it was of an ass of all asses. Think of someone like Steve Buscemi; he's got an ass face. Dennis Leary; has an ass face and is an assface, a damned good assface, too. I myself have a baby face; without a beard, I look like I'm perpetually stuck in the years before puberty. I personally think I have an ass face without a beard. But I don't get upset about it. If someone can't take a bit of criticism or laugh at themselves, they're going to have a tough time in life.
Ben Affleck's parents do
Most of the google images seem like sarcasm in general. There aren't too many that reference looks/appearances but you're definitely going to get assholes when you're talking about a meme used by large portions of the internet. Some people do run with the weight/beard thing itself way too far though (for me any address of weight is irrelevant and crass), I'll definitely agree there.
It's just not something I like. I don't have a neckbeard, but I can understand why calling someone a neckbeard would make them feel bad, so I don't do it.
It's just so trite at this point.
Shallow and pedantic. Quite pedestrian.
Indeed good sir. tips fedora
Are you really making fun of my use of the word trite? I wasn't aware that trite was a big word.
That cos its not and no one said it was.
I think it's more to do with using the word "trite", a word that many would consider snooty or grandiose, in the context of describing the word "neckbeard", a very informal piece of internet vocabulary. The two words contrast so much in how they are perceived that it really makes "trite" stand out in that context.
I'm not one of those people. I think your use of the word was spot on. I'm just being "explain the joke" guy here.
I think what's wrong with it is that it is equating a specific type of hair growth with an undesirable personality ... it takes an aspect of a person which is beyond their control, and associates it with certain personality traits, and thereby insults every person who has that particular type of hair growth who does not have those personality traits ... and meanwhile the people who are the intended targets of the insult may not even have that particular type of hair growth.
> an aspect of a person which is beyond their control.
Razors are so hard to come by these days.
I think you are missing the point, and reinforcing what's wrong with the insult
