To give you a sense of the scale of the Timmy-infused derision, I did an analysis of my social media. Specifically, I looked at 1,000 posts on X over a one-year period that had my username and 'Timmy.' The result: 999 were insults, and just one was neutral. In other words, if someone calls me Timmy on that platform, the post is almost always (99.9 percent of the time) connected to mockery, hate, and rage.
Mostly, however, this is about insulting my masculinity. 'Timmy Tantrum.' 'Come on Timmy Boy, be a man.' 'Sweet precious Timmy.' 'Hey Timmy my boy....... did you just make wee wee in your tampon????' Etcetera. For this sector of the troll universe, calling me Timmy is, on its own, a mic-drop, argument-stopping insult. Why? Because it is emasculating. Real men ain't called Timmy.
In many ways, it is amazing that, in 2024, people still think insulting a person's manliness is a clever and savage putdown. It seems comically regressive, like pulling up in a horse-drawn carriage and calling me a blunderbuss.
