I haven’t made a emoji out of the other meme images of stereotypical mods for that reason. If the source of the image is just someone who looks funny, it will be used to bash people who look like that more than it is to bash people who think like the thing we’re attacking.
With this one I put it in the same kind of category as . She looks funny, but we have her over any other elderly person because she’s an antimask protestor raiding the US capitol. This guy was the lead moderator of a big anticommunist subreddit that is most noted for constantly harassing ones related to left-wing streamers. He tried to scam his userbase and when removed by the admins did this 20 minute melodramatic thermonuclear video manifesto calling for the other mods to rise up. The context behind it makes it something beyond just a nerd stereotype that would be used to blindly attack nerds like me, especially with me moderating way too many subreddits.
edit: And doing this exact thing during the moderator blackout protests a couple years ago. This image is me staring into the abyss and it staring back.
