i don't think there is one.

Do you really want to degrade this into a childish internet popularity contest? If you are who i think you are then plenty of people don't like you either. Not that such an arbitrary thing matters. I'm popular enough, there are quite a few threads outside of off-topic believe it or not.

woops, my bad. i'd assumed it had already become that since, y'know, you're involved.

you also go on to mention this, so there's that, too.

do pm me with your guess, please. i'm actually quite curious. also, man, you seem pretty wound up over a joke.

not to mention the overwhelming amount of users - a lot of them being my friends - who have problems with you, and i can see exactly why.

No you started this 'I have the crowd on my side' thing. I'm just saying that on the internet some people will like you and some wont. Plenty people on this site like me, I'm sure plenty dont like me and I'm veru sure the vast majority dont think about it long enough to care. Trying to make a case about unpopularity/popularity is just really childish and ultimately boring. And this is coming from someone who likes impact font memes.

Im pretty sure I know who you are because only one of my 'haters' was so obsessed with bringing up 'the power of friendship' as a debate tactic, so it narrows down the search.

if this thing is childish and boring, then why did you actively bait me into starting it in the first place? i made no mention of the "i don't give a shit about your opinion" thing in this thread, and you had no reason to bring it up, yet you did. can you please explain why, other than you like getting into arguments to try and make your antagonistic ass look good?

i am legitimately begging you to pm me your guess, because your judge of character is so godawful it's funny as fuck.

You mentioned me first and I responded, plus I was only talking to you directly. I made no mention of friends, popularity or even the crowd. I know my standing in off topic, if I was trying to 'win' favor I wouldn't be trading jabs with someone who still uses cancer and autism as an unironic insult.

I have a feeling even if I guessed right youd deny it, because you couldn't stand the idea of me getting something right, plus you have plausible deniability so its pointless.

i mentioned you with a joke.

you proceeded to try and make it about an entirely different argument we were having in another thread, which you had no right or reason to. that argument was just for that thread only, and now it's meant that the appeal thread gets derailed yet again. am i partly blamed for that? yes. but should you have decided to provoke by bringing that topic up? no. what i think is that we both should accept we're in the wrong and move on, before the thread is locked.

c'mon, please. just do it. if i deny it then you can go ahead and think that, regardless of whether you're right or not.

ffs y'all need to smoke a joint or something. Or find jesus. Or go watch some porn or something. smh

That's a weird way to spell "everyone".

@Cynder

holy shit she's right

so uh... we not gonna get an acknowledgement of us both being in the wrong?

You're both in the wrong, now please kindly get back on topic if you don't mind.

I just want to say I've been drinking and @Garattee has right now the most hypnotic signature.

Now that the previous has expired, back to the explanations.

What is the appeal of stand-in characters? They may or may not be some form of Sue, but more specifically I am speaking to the character designed specifically to get the audience to sympathize with them and more so, step into their shoes and live their story vicariously. Now, I have heard many reasons for this, but almost universally are these same figures panned for not having much life to them and being cardboard cutouts and not actual people. In some cases, they even inadvertently prove to us viewers, especially outsiders, why said characters are not even functional human beings, or related to them in that regard.

We all know the worst of the worst examples, but why in general? Grasping the attention of a reader is of course crucial, as otherwise they will just seem themselves elsewhere, but why make some of these identities so hollow and reusable that anyone can be them? They sometimes span entire genres of creative works, where there are a number of trope-ish types of characters who people can fill the shoes of as the reader or viewer, but is it really that strange to not do so and instead view them as independent agencies and entities? That it is more important they are their own characters first? Making them distorted fragments of real people, twisted reflections, seems to work better from my experience.

Explain the appeal of being a libertarian.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity Because there's a target audience that loves characters like that. They don't want to be intellectually challenged by the complexity of the main character but instead use the story as a day-dreaming tool.

Explain the appeal of vemenously hating on Libertarians at every opportunity to the point that is what you are known on site for.

I hate on Libertarians for the same reason you and others hate on SJWs, Its an ideology I find stupid.

As far as rep, I've got absolutely no problem with being known for something that I absolutely believe, It'd only be a problem if I was misrepresented.

Explain the appeal of being Dynamo Frokane.

@Garattee I will, as sson as you explain the appeal of de-railing your ow thread.
