Given how deeply he seems to have convinced Chris to be his flying monkey, I'm going to predict that sometime in future, he's going to turn to a fandom with a more masculine bent, particularly as he gets older. We know that he likes to play up his manliness ("I fought on both sides of the Troubles," the claymore story, the whole meditation-via-exercise thing), and it wouldn't be such a leap to go from fandom to something like civil war reenactments (its own kind of fandom), SCA, or even pretending to be an actual war vet.
I could also see his schtick flying really well in the PUA/red pill communities because it plays to a lot of the same fears that men in those communities have ("My life has been ruined by a mistake I made in my youth. People stalk me and go after me because of just one mistake;" "I have been accused of rape, but actually, she was the rapist and I the helpless victim, but no one believes me because I am a man;" "I have atoned for my mistake and apologized, but it's never enough for anyone! All I want is to be left alone!").
I know Abbey has said that he gravitates to fandom because, like an addict who prefers whiskey over beer or heroin over cocaine, he prefers fandom over other things. And I know that going for a more manly "fandom" would mean fewer women and trans people, i.e. his preferred victims. But there are vulnerable men who turn to hypermasculine activities for a lot of the same emotional reasons as women join fandom, particularly for the sense of community and belonging that they might otherwise lack. They could just as easily serve as narc supply and as funding/housing/etc. as anyone else.
Also, look me in the eye and tell me that Andy wouldn't try to channel Robert E. Lee.
