If you think of what the stereotype people think of as a basement dweller video game player/dungeons and dragons player/world of Warcraft player....that's what people mean when they mean neckbeard in a mean way.

This person understands the term. ^ As did one other poster at 17:15.

Surprised how out of touch most people are on this site with almost everything.

PP at 17:15 here.

Yeah, it's pretty wild how the people on this post don't know that "neckbeard" is a very specific insult that has nothing to do with the posted pics. And when we explain it, they just keep rambling with this Thoreau-had-a-beard-like-that-but-I-hate-it stuff.

Anyhoo -- yeah, the beards in the pics look weird, but that's just fashion. It changes. No one has worn a beard like that for about 200 years or so. The derogatory term "neckbeard" is only going to apply to someone who has never put anywhere near that much effort into their appearance.

Very A.I. like right? Dead Internet Theory is a neat rabbit hole.

If we're even considering this a facial hair, then I think the picture above will make that change someones mind.

Why is it so gray?

Looks ridiculous. I’d think “you must not like yourself” if I saw this.

Think Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons. Not random Amish man.

Go to your local "Asian gifts" store at a dying mall (the kind that sells katanas, anime silkscreen shirts, etc.) to glimpse the neckbeard population.

I know what the term means, what we keep rambling about is the overall trend that enables terrible facial hair.

Many neckbeards aspire to be hipsters. Terrible facial hair and all.

beards are gross. Any kind it doesn't matter. 100% Unsanitary.

Those are "try hards" who just want attention. The more outrageous they get, the more attention they get. It's a slope. They eventually go sliding on over the cliff.
