    Why is it the uncle that’s the one who’s generally portrayed as being the crazy conspiracy theorist? I’m an uncle, I’m not that bad

      Because usually the guy that can’t get laid an start a family is the one that fills their time with weird nonsense, and if he has normal siblings then he becomes an uncle eventually.

      This is different from the phenomena wherein intentionally child free uncles get into much more reasonable weird nonsense like magic the gathering or cabinet making.

        Me, a child free by choice uncle, slowly closing the door so you cant see my woodworking space… And also deleting my YouTube history.

      it’s not all uncles but when it is someone it’s usually an uncle.

      One of my uncles was a huge nazi until he got married and now he’s chill.

        My uncle is married, but he’s married to a crazy and they’re both like this.

        My father is a mild crazy and knows I can argue longer then he can, so he doesn’t start shit.
