OK but why is it called sigmaposting?

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's an ironic glorification of things idiots do to be "sigma" (like arguing just to win even when they realize they're wrong) but just makes them unpleasant combined with a self-awareness that we all do this shit from time to time
