“Sometimes these guys seem too nice. Creepily upbeat, despite their often self-deprecating self-awareness. Wholesomely woke, occasionally filthy. Never without detailed, ramblingly, apologetic preamble for anything even vaguely resembling “problematic,” so it’s safe for your wokest friends. I want to be the type of person who wants to be friends with these guys, but I think they’d be annoying to hang out with. Overly earnest. Sometimes I want to slap them and throw them in a locker, despite my having been a mercilessly bullied, overweight goth in high school. The niceness seems cultivated and contrived, like they’ve read too many self-help books, not that there should be any caps on such activities, just that: over-indulgence tends to make one annoying. They seem like they think they’re awfully clever. They have a very pleased-with-themselves kinda vibe. But they’re very funny. I think”
