“Himbo” is ableist. I find fetishizing someone’s supposed lack of intelligence to be predatory. Why would you desire someone who seemingly has less power than you? Why is that sexy? Why is that different from praying on underage kids? It’s not.

I apologize for using the idea of preying on children as a shorthand for predatory behavior, in adult, which feeds into the harmful stereotypes that neurodivergent people are helpless children and hurts fellow survivors of CSA by diminishing the our experiences into a buzzword.

I appreciate people explaining the meaning of himbo and really like the concept of “a guy who has the physical power but not the toxic danger that physicality represents on toxic masculinity.”

I’d love to know more, but would really like to avoid ableist slurs like”dumb.”
