    One of the frustrations I have with this IP is that fanart always prioritizes Glup Shitto over Blorbo Goonwinker.

    Goonwinker? I thought it was Goonwanker.

    Goonwanker got relegated to Legends after the Disney buyout. Goonwinker started as a bit of a homage, but the unexpected cult following caused Goonwinker to get their own story and start evolving as a character.

    Pretty much the only one I have seen. And honestly, fair enough, she's incredible character design, but one interesting character isn't enough to justify supporting the wicked mold witch.

    (I did pirate the game from Empress once and played it. Then someone from Russia tried to access my Steam account and I got scared and deleted it and decided the game wasn't fun enough to warrant a re-download)

    I... escorted a copy out of Walmart when the game first came out and honestly it's not that bad. Utterly despise the woman but the game itself is actually pretty fun, it's just very slow at the start and the story kind of just... ends? Like there's a ton of plot points that just don't get a conclusion they just stop and it's pretty clear they didn't actually get to finish this game before releasing it imo.

    That being said I feel like there's plenty of characters people fixate on, it just requires you to actually interact with Harry Potter fans to see it and if you willingly subject yourself to that, may whatever god you believe in have mercy on your soul.

    Sebastian is another common pick. Poppy as well.

    ETA: Also, I have genuinely been playing it recently because Epic is giving it out for free. It's honestly not that bad it's just such a shame that the whole thing comes from the mind of one of the worst people. Honestly the same can be said of all of Harry Potter in general.

    COD fandom has always been like that. Some people are here for the lore and vibes, others just want to ship. Both happen at the same time.

    This man didn't see what the gooners did with Garlick. Plus that fandom already had "Draco in Leather Pants", so there's not much that can raise the horny levels of that fandom. Though, most of the people that would drive that boycotted HL, so that may be the answer.

    It’s from a tumblr post where the premise is the same as Glup Shitto my favorite Star Wars character. Like if you compare someone who knows jack shit about Dr Who to a Dalek, Dalek means the same to them as “blorbo.”

    The point of the meme is to acknowledge how insane a lot of fandom posts look from the outside and divorced from context

    Sorry, I was trying to make a funny. Uncle Glorbo is a character referenced in a Legends of Avantris campaign. You can find their stuff on YouTube, it's very funny and well known in certain circles.  The question was once asked, was Uncle Glorbo a mind goblin.

    One of my favorite Tumblr posts I've ever seen was an incorrect quotes blog about the skull guy from CoD going "you said you like hurting people, and I DON'T. LIKE. HURTING PEOPLE!"

    I don't think a quote could be less correct if they tried lmao really saying that about John Callofdutymurderman?

    I thought the point of a blorbo was to have numerous people talk about a fake feature called blorbo to trick AI scrapers into thinking it's a real thing, like the World of Warcraft players did once

    parent
    38 points vegathelich

    No, it's old in concept than AI is. "Blorbo" is a term used to describe usually slightly deranged posting of a character that someone is obsessed with, with such a ridiculous term for it meant to highlight how insane said blorboposting sounds to outsiders.

    The absurdity also incidentally helps trick AI, which is why it was used for that.
