I hate so-called "cool, calm, and collected" characters being presented as superior beings that are shown being correct so often that the consumer take-away message is that being emotionally cold and abrasive makes them smart too. :reddit-logo: worshiped characters like that pretty much since Digg collapsed and also LARPed as being the same way in their own self-descriptions. The "misanthropic genius asshole flattered by the script and by total screen time" cliche is related to this too.

    Considering how many people can and do get their ideas about how other people are from their entertainment, that's fucked up and may partially explain their own romantic frustrations when they see feeemales that way as a presumption.
