Nearly everyone I've ever talked to that moves from a huge city to the middle of nowhere hates it and moves back if financially capable of it. Often in a year or two.
While its true that some First Nation's practiced scalping of defeated enemies for hundreds or thousands of years, it's also true that some English Colonies had a bounty on dead First Nations to encourage genocide, and one way this was confirmed was with a scalp rather than full dead body or head.
This one goes the other way. It was first patented in the 80s before the movie came out. It just wasn't a big thing yet. I assume it's had improved properties since then, but the process already existed.
In response to your edit; their is a difference between having an unpopular opinion, and being and asshole about it. Don't be shocked when people are an asshole back.
What. Western media touches toxic masculinity regularly. Barbie and The Last Of US, One of the most successful movies and One of the most successful shows of this past year had major sub-themes about toxic masculinity.

You are falling for a common pitfall, assuming that intelligence is the dominant factor in success. There is enough evidence to suggest intelligence is a thing and that it does help general ability broadly, but it is basically always dominated by other factors, be it affluence or experience. It's entirely possible for an expert in 1 field to end up being completely clueless and seeming like a dumbass when talking about anything else. There is even research to suggest people that are experts in one domain can be easier to fool into thinking they are more competent in all domains, actually making them less likely to seek external opinions and ending up worse off.
I don't know your group and maybe this went over well. But I was in a group that had a similar situation happen, but when it happened in my group it completely killed the campaign. We didn't know a party member was doing it, but we felt like we were being undermined at every step and the DM wasn't allowing us to make sufficient progress to enjoy ourselves.
Although this provides the best experience (very broadly speaking) for new users. It only takes looking at websites from 20 years ago to realize that it ages very poorly and no one maintains the links/external media once they break.
