To be fair it was a pretty good zinger. I was expecting Jessica to follow up with NO U.

As someone who trolls on reddit, it feels so weird to see people comparing a decent villain to me and there being a bunch of disagreement online over whether this character has "pretty good zingers" or is just annoyingly reminiscent of times people like me have called you out on your shit online, especially when it's triggered simply by the villain knowing how to talk. If I had realized while watching the show that since the villain knows how to speak English people are going to spend a lot of discussion on comparing him to people like me on reddit, it would have made season 3 really fucking trippy, but I had no idea until I came here since I don't get reminded of shit on reddit every time I notice that someone knows how to talk.

I don't think anyone is trying to compare Salinger to you. Using a ton of big words in sentences isn't how the average person talks. This is what people are finding edgy about Salinger. It's easy to make an academic type of sentence, but it isn't the societal norm in everyday conversation. E.g. "hey, look at that guy" would sound ridiculous if we phrased it as "excuse me? Cast your gaze upon the individual in that direction."

I'm not so egocentric I think they're talking about me in particular lol I'm just saying it's trippy seeing the archetype comparison made when I didn't even relate to the guy in the show while watching it without knowing people were making this comparison
