I used to read a completely ungodly amount of webcomics. The one character type that initially seemed cool but quickly became rage inducing is the one who constantly speaks in references to shit. Usually emotionally/socially stunted weirdo on top of that. I suppose it's supposed to appeal to millennials or shy internet people or something. Holy shit, this character type was everywhere. Lmao so relatable!

And now I've re-read your OP and realise this has very little to do with what you're talking about
