I looked at a buzzfeed article yesterday and that was a bad idea but it's really bothering me?

If you ever jokingly typed "unfollow me" or "you monster" or "you had no childhood" or "what sane person would..." because someone didn't watch the same cartoon as you or bit into a chocolate from the wrong angle or doesn't love the some brand, unfollow me (actually pls). But maybe explain to me how this 'pretend' outrage over the slightest difference could seem fun and constructive and not awful first.

(It's not a silly internet problem, I've had this happen to my face forever too and can we stop pretending what people say on the internet is different from their behavior irl)

I'd like to know whether if you asked a general sample of people about their one favorite book character (for like or admire, not for "interesting" or "well-written") you would get a lot of the same ten protagonists of most popular books or a spread of of niche books and minor characters.

(My favorite person is Stephen Maturin I think, I judge that to be like 65% along towards the more well-known and more main character end).

(Tell me your favorite person or how you think the trend goes or whatever in the comments if you feel like I guess)
