There are guy acquaintances who would have been solid guys-- even friends. They are willing to offer a hand, can joke (obvious exceptions), healthy and booksmart.
Married, just trying to live well.

But they hold as their core identity a Boy Scoutish, Supermanish, reddit lens. They--when no one else is around--no women to impress, no camera watching--bring up as a topic how oppressed and in need of defense trannies are (if tangential to some topic).

They would have been the stalwart defenders of the good. The first to speak up. Willing and able to act. Strong, vigilant. They want something to defend.
They are corrupted.
