I was running through some old Portal 2 quotes in my head and realized that it Cave Johnson were a real person, people would absolutely hate him.
Jesus
Donald J. Trump, the fictional character in Home Alone. Dude gave me the creeps, was looking at the underage Kevin like he was a pacifier
He’s widely loved?
Every sitcom character ever. Also Dora the Explorer
Mr Rochester (abuser), Heathcliff (abuser), Colonel Brandon (pedophile).
The entire cast of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
We enjoy watching them because they are horrible people who never really succeed at what they are trying to do. I don’t think anyone would want to hang out with them.
That was basically the premise of Seinfeld.
Seinfeld characters are whimsical. This not true of Its Always Sunny where they are at best, degenerates.
George is whimsical?
I love this show and can confirm, they are the worst
I hate this show because they’re the worst.
Willy Wonka may not be hated, but he would definitely be vilified. There is no way a candy maker who refused to allow inspectors into his factory would be allowed to sell candy to the general public.
Plus, under the current administration, ICE would break in and forcibly deport (kidnap) all the Ommpa Loompas.

Would trump deport them for not being white, save them for being orange, or leave them there because they’re already slaves?
lol now THAT’S a brainteaser
Bender
I think Fry would be kind of annoying too.
I know plenty of people like him
Jesus
Jesus would probably get on my nerves.
He never called people by their names and gave them weird nicknames and spoke in riddles like a guy who fried his brain on weed and LSD in college during an ethics class.
People would hate the real time moralising, but would love free wine and would be amazed by his party tricks, like walking on water. That was pretty cool!
Jesus with the caviat of who specifically would hate him.
Besides Cthulhu?
Every trickster god like Loki, Q, Miss Frizzle…
Don’t forget bugs bunny
Amos Burton from The Expanse. Fans love him but he is a deeply damaged, disturbed, violent individual with no sense of right or wrong. At one point in the books, he looks at somebody and thinks he may have to kill them. The idea doesn’t bother him. He doesn’t get pleasure from it. But they’re in his way so he’ll do it.
Amos is self aware though. He knows he was born without a moral compass and allows Naomi, who he knows is good, to give him direction. He trusts that her decisions will keep him from crossing a line that he knows is there but he can’t see himself.
True, he latches on to people he thinks are righteous, first Naomi and then Holden, and uses them as his moral compass. But when they are not around, he beats people up and kills then as his go to reaction to a threat and he has no remorse over doing it. As Naomi tells Holden about him, He is a monster. He doesn’t want to be a monster, but he is one.
Plenty of Amos’s IRL already though.
Sheogorath from elder scrolls is a fan favorite, but I’d hazard to say no one wants to live in a universe with a cheese obsessed mad god that regularly dicks with humans for fun.
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.
I was genuine, but given the state of the world today I think an unstable deity of madness and whimsy periodically gifting insane relics and literal mental illnesses to people probably wouldn’t even be in the top 30.
My biggest problem with someone like Sheogorath is that he can just create a planet sized object at will and there’s nothing anyone could do to stop him
People like Cave Johnson? I thought they find him interesting, not a likeable person.
Combination of:
- People whose only exposure is clips from Portal and think he’s just a goof who rants about combustible lemons, not a deeply disturbed person who subjected people to horrific experimentation.
- People who can’t distinguish between other fans saying “I like this person as an interesting, well-portrayed, flawed character” and “I like this person directly as an individual”.
Given how people deify billionaires, I’d imagine there would be plenty of people that would defend a real life Cave Johnson.
Hell, he does get shit done. His company came up with the red and blue gels, and THE FRICKIN’ PORTAL GUN.
He actually solved the energy problem (run water over a dynamo into a blue portal, then open an orange portal above it so the same water powers the dynamo forever, and that’s just the easiest one I thought of!).
People love Jeff Bezos, and he’s done a lot less and treated more people worse!

Sonic would be soooo annoying.
Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau. AKA Harry Dubois.
If he was real, at best he’d be kind of pathetic; at worst he’s a horribly disturbed, sexist, racist, homophobic drug addicted alcoholic. With a gun.
