    Why is it the uncle that’s the one who’s generally portrayed as being the crazy conspiracy theorist? I’m an uncle, I’m not that bad

      Because usually the guy that can’t get laid an start a family is the one that fills their time with weird nonsense, and if he has normal siblings then he becomes an uncle eventually.

      This is different from the phenomena wherein intentionally child free uncles get into much more reasonable weird nonsense like magic the gathering or cabinet making.
