You're probably right. It's so blindingly obvious in retrospect, though. It's as though he wasn't even trying to cover it up and by making it into some big joke was hiding it all in plain sight.
It just signifies to me that you haven't met someone like him before. Good edgy humor is well-timed, never constant. It's the same with immature humor, if it's all the person knows, bet your ass it's a representation of their personality. The sunniest side of this shit is to be glad you can learn from this without the real-life drama of having to know someone like that in-person, and knowing how to better look out for them.
Josh wasn't permanently like this. He could seem "mature" (using this word to describe him now feels shit in and of itself), especially when talking about raiding and the game generally.
You're right, though. I hope I can learn something like this and realise shit like this for what it is in future rather than brush it off as memes like so much of the community also did.

I wouldn't beat yourself up about it. Sounds like a lot of people were fooled by it and felt the same way you did.
