well in my case I can't speak for neets, but back then the kids on .is were closeted and tried their best to adapt to the forum culture (many of the 2018-2020 join date moggers aren't even in their mid 20s yet). kids on manosphere forums these days can't keep their mouths shut and don't even try to hide the fact that they're looksfag refugees. took me a while to accept that they're not the outsiders at this point but I am.
