So many edgelords from the 00's have become total faggots, Maddox probably being the ultimate example of this. I think it's because they were always just edgy for the lolz, but were never willing to genuinely question their normie liberal beliefs.

Then in the early 10's a lot of these normie lib edgelords went anti-SJW for a while, but they got taken back into the fold by the bizarre brand of "it's not happening and it's a good thing" cognitive dissonance pushed by breadtubers (and social media in general) following Trump. Basically, they got brainwashed into thinking that SJWs were never a real thing, because the Orange Man scared them and they really bought the notion that mainstream conservatism was evolving into a form of neo-nazism.

As such, you have lots of these guys who are desperately holding up a jenga tower of cognitive dissonance, refusing to accept that politics has really changed, that SJWs are not only real but control the left, and that the left is the status quo. They just can't handle the reality that the "far-right" is the new counter-culture, that edgy humor is subversive to liberal dogmas, and that there's just no going back to the good ol days when being an atheist was edgy.
