Not recent but at one point during my uni life I was a brown international student, studying computer science, and working at a call centre as a part time job. The fact that my parents are doctors made it that much worse somehow.

    Well, I'm a software developer who knows way more about science fiction and fantasy than I really should, and if you get me drunk I'll probably tell you all about how Sauron is an ainur and therefore didn't actually die when the One Ring was destroyed - since the ainur can't die - but he did lose all his power and henceforth existed perpetually as a powerless and intangible shadow...

    And when you wake up, I might still be talking.

    I'm a non-binary, vegan, theatre school drop-out. I dye my hair a new colour every couple of weeks, my main means of transportation is a bicycle, and I'm currently unemployed but my last job was as a barista. Oh and I've read some Marx unironically.

    I'm basically a right-winger's caricature of "a goddamn librul".

    Let's start a club where none of us have to talk to each other and we just go home and play video games!

    The owner of a previous company I worked for once called me "a long haired, pot smoking hippie" and I can't say he was too far off the mark.

    Thats just an accurate description (apparently) there has to be more to this... do you own any lava lamps? Tie dyed t-shirts? HOW MANY PHISH CONCERTS HAVE YOU BEEN TO!?!

    Well, the long hair part is the only descriptive part of that, as I am very conscientious about the smell (never came anywhere near my work gear) and I didn't make a point to talk about my politics or views on gardening and shit in the work place, so guessing 2/3 ain't bad based on the one feature.

    I am a software developer and gamer who lives in his mother's basement and watches anime.

    In my defense: I am in the process of buying my own house, I practice good hygiene, and I do have a social life (unlike a stereotypical basement-dweller). I have no excuse for the anime, that's on me.

    You know how you occasionally see articles about the male loneliness epidemic? Hi, that's me. Haven't spent more than a week around people in person in close to 5 years despite livingright next to a big city, struggling with depression and social anxiety, starved for physical and emotional affection but can't bring myself to do anything about it, yeah. Snuggled and slept with an ace friend overnight on a couch at a big get together and it sent me into a massive depressive spiral! You know this meme?

    Yeah that's me. I'm definitely not an incel, I'm self aware and not entitled, the only thing holding me back is me and my stupid fucking brain. There's hope, antidepressants and therapy have been helping a lot. I just feel like the posterchild for the struggling, lonely but not "redpill nutjob" guys out there

    I'm a leftist and I spend way too much time arguing with people who were never going to listen to me anyway.

    I wear leather jackets with metal band T-shirts and jeans and am covered in scars and tattoos.

    I'm basically the spitting image of what mothers tell their children to avoid looking like

    I'm a Scottish man that likes whisky, haggis, and beer and I actually do own and wear (at the right occasions) a kilt. Unfortunately I balance it out by having an accent from a different part of the country to the one that adds about a dozen extra syllables to "purple burglar alarm"

    I am Czech and I drink lots of beer.

    On the other hand I am brewmaster and in this case stereotypes don't apply. Lots of people image of brewmasters is something like "middle aged obese man". But you have to be quite fit to manipulate with kegs and get to places (tanks) to clean.

    I am a left-leaning suburbanite dog-loving dad who fancies himself a versatile and practical can-do type who prefers function to form, but also has a little disposable income and sometimes thinks jeeps look fun. Subaru marketing execs were damn near salivating.
