So weird to see all these reactions (not just here, im talking in general) Well, to generalize entire races by looks, Arab men are second only to Puerto Rican men in hotness so  Exhibits A and B: @alsemanche and @littlepotter (who are both hotter than me, a Puerto Rican ) He's pretty, that's good for the memes. But the energy of being fed up with America's healthcare system would be there regardless of him being an Italian hunk or a Quasimodo looking dude. At least I think so tbh.

To be fair it's known that Lebanese and Italian people look similar, it's the Mediterranean air But that person has a point, I don't think an equally attractive person of color would have garnered that much love and universal support. chaeri pls 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely think there would be less obsession with his looks (although there had been a small degree of thirst when all we had was his eyebrows and forehead to go on lol) But the universal support & love didn't massively trend upwards when the mugshot came out. He was pretty universally supported in the days after the shooting before the arrest. Its just that people's memes have changed focus 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile I'm sitting here too close to the Atlantic and not close enough to the Caribbean  And yeah maybe but I still maintain the only thing we'd lose if there wasn't a collective agreement about his attractiveness is the memes.

PartySick 160,413 Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 They're trying so hard to do or say anything to make us like him less  https://www.newsweek.com/luigi-mangione-family-ties-health-care-industry-1998413 Tl;dr - His family is wealthy from real estate. They founded a few elder care facilities which ended up going under but they remain supportive of hospitals, especially the Greater Baltimore Medical Center where the family has given over a million dollars and the obstetrics department (childbirth and maternal care) has their family's name on it. In another article it seems like they're equating this with the "trend" of people finding criminals hot: https://www.newsweek.com/luigi-mangione-online-sex-symbol-1998794 As if people weren't already happy with this before we knew what Luigi even looked like  Super eye opening how disconnected the mainstream media is and the narrative they're trying to spin here. I mean, wbk already, but to see it so blatantly is wild. You're stinky 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shooting drew almost no national attention. It was entirely drowned out by the execution of an insurance industry CEO. The armed and disaffected young men who are most drawn to this sort of thing will not miss this fact. I believe Luigi Mangione was radicalized by pain. The shooters who follow him will all have their own reasons for what they do, their own journeys to that violent end. But ultimately, they’ll do what they’ll do because Luigi proved it’s what gets attention. Even just in NYC there's one homicide every day (a vast improvement on the 90s numbers where there was 10-15 a day but still). If people were pissed off enough already to clap when a CEO is shot imagine how this response makes them feel You're stinky 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never sparks a national manhunt on the scale we've seen. Speaks volumes about who the police protect 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get good grades and be stupid. What good are these grades if he was in incel? He’s clearly not an incel and imo, pretty clearly intended to be caught because he wanted to make a statement.
