I think these things are just desperate for any sort of positive attention they can get, even if they know deep down that it's bullshit.  No way do they really think they look good.  They're haggard as fuck and they know it, but they seem to have all agreed to tell each other how beautiful they are.  Wriggly fupas, beetus-feet, and all.  They're delusional, obviously.   They just want to be able to point to everyone online that said they look good when somebody calls them a disgusting pig.  It's fucking ridiculous.  Like if a bunch of baby-dicked guys all decided to start congratulating each other on their massive cocks.  It's nonsense.
