Poor little meow meows in fantasy
Urgently seeking suggestions, any and all input is welcome! A list for men in fantasy who are pathetic, reminiscent of kicked dogs, often described as poor little meow meows, drowning in their own emptiness, and/or generally have an intense aura of being a sad loser with no life. Having a capacity to be fixed is entirely optional. If you want to demonstrate why a man is a loser, feel free to do so at great length in the comments so that we all may further our studies in male patheticology.
