    They seem to be mostly kind hearted folk that are about the (actual, not proverbial) filthiest humans on the planet.

    Like they're gross AF but friendly too. It's certainly a weird subculture but I'd hang out with a juggalo over a MAGA bro any day of the week.

    IME juggalos are usually people who were or would be maga culturally but are disgusted by the lack of empathy that defines maga. They're the kind of people who grew up with a confederate flag on their wall but take it down in disgust when they make their first black friend and somebody explains to them for the first time that the flag is a hate symbol

    Like, physically covered in dirt/grime and stinky. I can only offer anecdotes in the original commenters defense, but they're not entirely wrong lol. Couldn't tell you why that is but the few juggalos I've known personality were... musty

    I mean it seems like people generally agree on this, at least here. That’s interesting. Never met one myself.

    I was looking for some images to give a demographic feel, and this name of this article conveys better:

    Everything we saw at the 2022 Gathering of the Juggalos before our camera got mucked up with Faygo

    They're not all gross or unclean. They do have a higher representation of poor people who might work a manual labor job or be unemployed, and then walk someplace far away along a busy road to party, crash on the couch, and then walk somewhere else. Just less opportunity to change clothing, do laundry and shower.

    Yeah I mean a few way to drunk ppl between that but nothing I would classify as gross

    Yeah, the name of the article was the funny bit in this case. The newspaper was obviously not going around taking unflattering pictures.

    The latter description fits better with the ones I've met. Typically younger, low or no income, predominantly men. Not homeless, but more of a network of houses they crash at randomly.

    Not to be too ableist, but there is a lot of autism and/or ADHD in nerdy subcultures and many times self-care gets neglected due to hyperfocus, distraction, or any other deregulation of executive function.

    A lot of times you just need to feel like you belong somewhere so you can trust that people will treat you like another person.

    I’d imagine the Venn diagram of mistreated people, people on the spectrum, and Juggalos has a profound overlap.

    I treat other people like people by taking a shower before I go to a local game store or other enclosed space where we’re forced to be together for a few hours. I’m sorry for people who struggle with it but I don’t accept ableism arguments for these situations. Are folks literally unable, or just not prioritizing the community when they make decisions? I think it’s the latter.

    Let me tell you two stories.

    In the first one, someone doesn't think it is that important to bathe, and others suffer.

    In the second one, someone spends their whole day trying to get the motivation to do literally anything. 5 pm rolls around, and at the very last minute, they manage to make it out the door to make it to the event at the game store that is basically their only social interaction of the whole day, but it is so important for trying to improve their mental health. Maybe they put deodorant on, maybe they forgot, but either way it didn't really help.

    That's one way it could be from lack of empathy, or disability. I have way more sympathy for the person in the 2nd story.

    They've got a fair bit of hippie in their cultural DNA and it shows in their relationship with washing

    Everyone dressed as themselves are wearing black. Those who wear color have masks and face paint. I'm no armchair psychologist but that probably means something.

    Hey, just want to give you a heads up. When you share YouTube links, the ? and anything behind it is tracking info. When you shared that long link it shows me this:

    ss of youtube info

    I've redacted quite a bit and as it's not tied to your lemmy username I feel compelled to let you, and the world at large, know. When sharing youtube links, delete the ? and everything behind it

    A few friendly reminders:

    It is OK to be wrong. Smart and kind people will not think less of you for being wrong. They WILL think less of you if you dig in your heels despite being presented evidence that proves you wrong.

    It is OK to change your opinion or view when given new information. This is how we grow as a species.

    Exactly, dont give in to the narcissists which exist, the world is brighter than initially thought. We grow as a species by examining each others opinions and logically contesting them - changing our own or others opinions.

    The amount of narcissists and machavellists is not the majority - but they are the loudest, and that loudness is what makes regular people overwhelmed.

    Grew up as a hardcore republican in South Texas. Moved to southern Louisiana and quickly realized, nope not republican, just highly misguided. I was wrong. I admit it to everyone. Now as time has passed, staunch socialist. Such as life.

    I cringe remembering how i would use Rush Limbaugh talking points in the mid 90s. Grew up in redneck central. Realized how shitty my views were when i got around people different from me in college. There is hope for all of the world's dumbasses.
