That's the thing... I lived in a rural area that was culture wise, years behind cities, we mostly got drunk outside at 15 or went camping rather than anything online, MSN was new and had 2 player minesweeper. Hardly anyone was a "gamer"... Doing something like that in an innocent way would get someone made fun of for a bit, then they would see why it was creepy. The ones that took to blaming everyone else became pariahs.

Now, that will happen and reddit will pounce on a 15 year old, incels etc find comfort in warping other people. Tell them it's the girls fault for being creeped out, the friends fault for being too uncultured to understand hentai, they provide a sense of company. They aren't waiting to "accidentally" bump into someone after school, they are doing it online where they can reinforce the victim mentality.

Once someone's whole life is other creeps online it's too late. I once tried to "deprogram" an incel, I thought I was making progress but all I was actually doing was teach him how to hide the predatory cues he gave off.
