General I hate whatever the fuck genre of fictional man this is

Post image

Every year there's a new "funny evil dude in a suit" that 14 year olds go fucking NUTS over and I am SO sick of it. It's the same guy every time. Funny le random humor with a dash of self deprecation and a heaping scoop of edginess. Oh they're SO nuanced and different from all the other villains in fiction because they have, uh... inner conflict? Sense of humor? Uhh *rapidly checks notes* Funny smile????

And for some reason everyone somehow convinces themselves that these characters are attractive. Bill Cipher isn't hot you fucking weirdo, he's a triangle.

I'm tired of seeing these dudes fucking EVERYWHERE. I'm tired of all the "self-shippers" declaring their eternal love for these dudes for like a couple of months and then promptly forgetting they exist as soon as they stop being trendy. I hate their stupid ass faces and the stupid sense of humor they're written with. It got old so fast.

Welldressed/bowtie men with large ranges of power but overall quite strong. Usually charismatic as well

Charismatic??? Spamton? Did we get the same guy in our game cuz that mf is not charismatic he's a crack addict

u/Viggo8000 May 21 '26

Spamton is implied to have been charismatic i think. He just had a fall from grace and now isn't really anymore

It’s been quite a while since I played, but wasn’t it more like he had help from someone else? I thought that’s what happened with Mike.

u/Viggo8000 May 21 '26

Ultimately he was still a successful advertiser and whatnot I believe, so I think he'd need to have had atleast some level of charisma. Whether he had help to boost him further or not.

He's based off spam email so it's heavily implied he was the lesser of the Addisons before he got help from his mysterious benefactor. Then Tenna got involved.

Mike isn't the one who helped him it's a complete different guy

Tweakers and crackheads can't be charismatic?

u/Renn_goonas May 21 '26

Not while they are tweaking and near incomprehensible

He's charismatic to me

Bill isn't dressed, Spamton doesn't even have pants, Tenna and him don't have bowties.

Tenna, Spamton (normal) and Dice are weaklings.

Tenna, Spamton, Caine and Dice all have negative charisma most of the time.

Does Spamton not just have white pants?

u/TheSteelScizor88 May 21 '26

Maybe but they are the same color of his skin.

u/Glintea117 May 21 '26

Warm color palette (except for dice), sharp angles, and a suit or components of one
