It is indicative of cultural rot that anyone is willing to take someone seriously who insists on being so poorly groomed. Auron "MacIntyre" does not have to be this ugly, this pasty and greasy, with such sparse facial hair, but, like any obese, blue-haired septum-pierced leftist influencer, the choice of ugliness is the point. It appeals to an audience of losers who refuse to better themselves even in the little ways and love to be coddled and affirmed in that low-agency sloppy victim mentality.
