Ok, short post. Basically, these guys base their ideology off the assumption that being dark triad is attractive. They lack knowledge in scientific methodology, so obviously that’s a wrong conclusion. It’s a known trope that self proclaimed ”nice guys” aren’t nice at all, but I’d take it further: TRP is full of dark triad men. Not after trying to emulate ”bad boys”, just their general personality, way of interacting with people, their way of thinking.
