Chapter 1: Bobby's Dilemma

Bobby Tarando presents himself as a compassionate and inventive individual. He possesses intelligence and talent, yet he remains modest and empathetic. Despite these commendable traits, his ambitions seem to lead nowhere.

Strawman Media has investigated the concerns raised by Bobby and his close acquaintances on r/incels. After thoroughly examining this perplexing situation, we find ourselves both intrigued and puzzled. Bobby theorizes that his appearance is the primary reason for his struggles.

“From my employment to my various side projects and romantic pursuits,” Bobby shares, “I am constantly overlooked due to my looks.”

According to fellow Reddit user AWALTer White, “He does everything right. He engages with women respectfully, adheres strictly to his job requirements, and passionately shares his creative ambitions. If he were an alternative girl with anime aesthetics, success would surely follow!”

After clearing our search history of inquiries about the correlation between income and anime culture, we reached out to several individuals who have met Bobby face-to-face.

“He’s not unattractive at all,” comments Amber, a former high school friend. “We lost contact, likely because he would only reach out when he wanted me to support something or during his occasional romantic advances. If he relaxed a bit and stopped coming off as desperate, he might feel better about himself.”

Seeking further insights, we spoke to Mark, a coworker who knows Bobby well. “I wasn’t aware he was a writer,” he admits. “Our relationship doesn't really allow for that kind of conversation. I’ve seen his Facebook invitations for various groups he’s attempting to establish, but honestly, social media has become so cluttered lately that I just can’t keep up.”

“The last thing I want is another project to manage. I typically decline his invites—not because he’s a bad person, but because I’m just emotionally drained with how things are evolving…” Mark rambled on.

After emerging from Mark’s long-winded reflection, we came to a conclusion. It seems that Bobby's greatest obstacle might very well be his own perception of himself, particularly regarding his appearance.

EDIT:

As of the latest update, an intern has shared a new picture of Bobby Tarando from his mother, and both agree he is quite handsome but struggles with low self-esteem. More updates to come…
