This is a new-to-me phenomenon, but does the OT support any Large Adult Sons?

I don't have one yet, and I don't qualify as one, but I can immediately recognize the type....

quote:

The large-adult-son meme takes wing from the idea that men overcompensate when they are humiliated, and that a primary source of this humiliation is interdependence—sons act out when they are defined by their fathers, and fathers are disgraced by the oafish flailing of their sons.

I’ve read both articles, and realized I simply don’t care. Is this like Doug on King of Queens? That type of guy?

I can understand why this is a dead meme.

I'm young, savvy, and a meme trader (spooky bois stock has gone down), but this makes no sense.

All men are adult sons and yes, I know a few men other than myself.

Why are the Trump boys on the cover of that story?

Trump, Huckabee, Ben Sasse: I think I see a trend here.

Libs CANNOT meme. That’s why this is stupid,
