Is someone holding these poor souls hostage and forcing them to be together?

Rules:

  1. Post examples of toxic heteronormativity only.

TranscriptA tweet saying "Six Male Personalities Of Modern Men Explained: (which one are you?) Read the thread. " It has a picture of some of these, the first one is "alpha male".It has a cartoonish picture of a guy in a suit. The next is "Beta male". This shows a person wearing a blazer, with a sneer on their face. The one after this is "Delta Male". This shows a guy in a plain white t-shirt. Next is a "Gamma male" It shows a guy in a red-and-black striped tshirt, with long hair. The next one is an "Omega Male" It shows a person with short black hair, glasses and suspenders." The last one is a "Sigma male" It shows a guy with sunglasses and a leather jacket."

Alpha being LinkedInLunatics and jocks being betas says A LOT about the type of guys who'd buy into this chart. Oh and Delta looks the most working class, which again, says a lot about who made this chart. Gamma is either the rocker types or maybe just implies effiminate liberal men? Either way, the men actually likely to get laid without paying for it. Omega is supposed to be a nerd, which is not what the typical incel actually is. Sigma is.....hipsters? James Dean or Fonzie? The AI that likely made this seems as unsure about the classification system as I am. And yes, the order being wrong aggravates me too.

This feels like a specifically middle aged cope of the original cope (which definitely had jock Chad alphas and breadwinner beta cucks)
