On another grievance along the lines of "so edgy you're making me bleed" characters, I already dislike the basis of those characters, first of all, and then, more specifically, I feel their sharp pain every time someone writes in an "Extras" section or a "Hidden Aspects" section that the aforementioned [b]Edgy McEdgepants[/b] is actually a [b]giant teddy bear who loves people with all of his giant teddy bear heart[/b], but because his body is made of [b]diamond-edged razors he tends to be misunderstood by those around him[/b], something which [b]cuts his heart so deeply he is eternally hemorrhaging inside, so his agony is twofold and very badass[/b].

Sometimes, [b]I'm so touched by their depth that I cry black tears[/b] for those kinds of characters.

A truly accurate, inspirational, and poetic description.

On a serious note, word. Too bad people, for all of eternity, will always be creating these types of characters.
