And we've come full circle. This is what passes for logic and reason on the left nowadays. Make assertions, fail to substantiate them in any serious way, claim they're "obvious", and repeat them over and over until they're considered facts.
Furthermore, I'm intentionally "obscuring" your guess with other potential guesses. Maybe if someone had done the same for gender studies we wouldn't be treating other guesses like 'privilege' and 'rape culture' as though they were scientific fucking laws.
You don't have a theory. You have a guess that you haven't even attempted to substantiate. If I'm obligated to disprove your guess, aren't you obligated to disprove mine?

He'd get close to a girl and in a high-pitched whine go "eeehhh... ehhhhhhhhhh... wanna have sex? Pouty ducklips... ehhhhhh... I'm a nighelf druid... ehhhhhh."

Yeah I don't know if I'd go dogpiling on the parents yet. I'm sure they fucked up a bit during his upbringing, but every parent fucks during a kid's upbringing. At a certain point, kids decide for themselves whether or not they want to be pathetic antisocial dipshits. I have a pretty big...
