"Oh look at this guy reading a BOOK at the cafe, he must think he's sooooo cool! I get he thinks a woman will sleep with him cuz he's so smart and cultured."

funkyfrogbait did some video talking about this trend, made some comparison with the same energy of the pumpkin spice latte hate a decade or so earlier. i thought the comparison was apt in irl relevance.
