My 14 year old nephew fell down the Andrew Tate rabbit hole and has been increasingly hostile to me ever since I announced my transition. I want to try to help him but he’s just been getting worse and more belligerent. Lately he’s been sending me text messages with this image repeatedly, like dozens of times throughout the day. What does this even mean? Is this a Simpsons character?
It's radicalisation, just like white rights groups or islamic extremism, and what needs to happen is a form of deprogramming. There are counsellors who do it but I think they're rare, worth a google though to see if there's one nearby.
I don’t know anything about non-cartoon guy, but after confirming my guess, the sign behind says “Sneed’s Feed and Seed” at the top which is indeed a Simpsons reference. Apparently it has ties to 4chan culture as well, if the knowyourmeme page is anything to go by.
The Simpsons character is from the episode/scene in question, and I don’t know if he is given a name because I’ve never seen the full episode.
Edit: Additionally, the Simpsons character has been edited specifically to resemble a rule 34 rendition of Omni-man from Invincible, in which the artist depicted him with a suit on, but very skin tight and leaving very little to the imagination with everything visible through the suit. The original image was/is also shared around a lot in some spaces, mainly for shock value but there could be additional meaning. You can also find info for that on the knowyourmeme page for “Thicc Omni-Man” (potential NSFW warning)
No idea what the significance of the choking-with-buttcheeks is, but I’d imagine it’s not great.
