===== Sickos =====
One of Josh's strangest autistic obsessions. He used to frequently discuss his intense disdain for what he refers to as "sickos". This term is primarily used to describe sex offenders, particularly child molesters, but it can extend to other forms of sexual misconduct. Josh's preoccupation with "sickos" is a significant aspect of his online persona and has been the subject of much discussion among his viewers.

Josh's inability to read the room (which is empty to begin with) ended up with him constantly ranting and raving about sexual deviants, as if his audience really wanted to hear this. Give his autism, it would also put Jorp into negative light over and over, because normal people don't spend time constantly bringing up sickos without good reason. It took years of mockery for the boy to calm down and gradually ease up with his obsession. (And possible [[characters:clint_saunders|clintervention]].)

One cannot properly imagine the insanity of constantly muttering phrases like "fuck sickos" or "I would fuck Ozzy to end sickos" at random, you had to be there to experience it. One of the most cursed and memorable moments involved Josh masturbating and muttering this sicko mantra, making the boy look especially deranged and devious.

This obsession is especially amusing, since some of Josh's former best friends [[characters:scrapper_steve|ended up being major sickos]], but irony is lost on boglims. Even before he was outed as a degenerate, to a normal person, one look at Steve would be enough to label them as sicko, but Josh could never be too picky when it comes to friends.

=== Definition and Context ===
To Josh, "sickos" encompasses individuals who engage in any form of sexual offense, especially those offenses involving minors. This term can apply to pedophiles, rapists, and others who commit sexual crimes. His frequent mentions of "sickos" reflect a zero-tolerance stance towards such behavior, which he consistently expresses across multiple videos and live streams.

Just like many other things that define cobes, this seems to be a very clear attempt at deflection. You see it with many lolcows - Darksyde Phil hates being called dumb, and one of his favorite things is calling other people stupid. Josh hates being called sicko, so he has created this defense mechanism, where he would instead talk about sickos all the time. It's a bit more advanced version of "no u", except here he constantly shoots himself in the leg, because nobody normal wants to hear about sickos.
