I don't know enough about the arranged marriage thing, but I remember Messo being a big follower of the Newgrounds community even after the culture war designated them as edgy bigots. Not saying he couldn't have changed since then, but I think there's a higher probability he's a surface level "pop progressive" that doesn't really care much beyond the validation he gets over it. It's very much an always-online thing in my experience, especially when the society they live in would make them a pariah if they knew about those online activities.
