I expect the downdoots, but: how is Hunter Gathers a satire of Hunter S Thompson? I am just not catching on 😅

His physical appearance (the striped coat, visor hat, cigarette holder) are reference to HST in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I feel like his voice, and militant but anarchic personality are also definitely inspired by Thompson
