So, I've been wanting to write this for a couple of weeks. I'm a semi-regular here and am posting on a throwaway so I don't want to accidentally doxx myself.
I work in a pretty typical office in a mid-sized city in the south. It's a nice town and it's a nice place to work. The office is divided into a few sections but it's fairly small and we all make a point to go out for happy hour pretty regularly. Everyone gets along, with the exception of one guy who is creepy as hell.
Anyway, we were all out at a happy hour a couple of weeks ago and sure enough the creepy dude started to get drunk. The more he drank, the creepier he got. At some point he started making a friend of mine very uncomfortable with his advances. She finally told him flat out she wasn't interested and he got angry and started making a scene.
One of the managers from our business ops team stepped in and calmed the situation down. He cracked a couple jokes, bought the dude a drink and kind of pulled him aside. I think they talked for a bit and whatever was said must have upset the Creepster, because he left.
Before we go any further, I want to describe the guy who rescued my friend. He's a really good-looking guy, super successful (like 30 and makes six figures plus, will probably be a VP in the next couple of years), and is also in very good shape. The women in the office all talk about how hot he is and the guys in the office look up to him.
So, after the creepy guy left, the manager came back to the table and of course everyone was talking about what happened and how much of an asshole Creepster was. He laughed along with us, but then the weirdest shit happened.
He started saying that he actually empathized with the Creepster, and then went on to say stuff that was straight out of the Terper handbook, like society is feminized and despises men like the creepy dude which only ostracizes them more, blah, blah, blah. I immediately clammed up (couldn't believe what I was hearing), but what was amazing (and awful) is that a lot of the girls agreed!
It gets worse. One of the other guys at the table said, "yeah, this makes sense, it's like that website you sent me." It ultimately came out that this manager is a straight up, no joke, hardcore Terper and he's converting guys in the office.
Obviously, I'm completely dumbfounded. I met a Terper in real life, and it was not at all how I expected it to be. Not only that, but the guy is helping that shit go mainstream in my own office.
The main reason I'm writing this is to remind people that TRP may be a vile and hateful philosophy, but the stereotype that all Terpers are neckbeard losers isn't true. It's dangerous to assume that because it allows people like this manager to preach this shit and you won't see it coming. In retrospect, lots of things he's said I've realized were pretty misogynistic. I just didn't pick up on it because he's a naturally charismatic guy and I just couldn't imagine he would be into that stuff.
I'm not sure what to do about the situation. I actually still like this manager. He's a great guy, but I want to talk to him about this. But I also don't want to seem like le crazy SJW, especially at work.
