(sorry if your favourite is not in this poll, I went mostly off the contenders from this year's poll and the classics)

After seeing the results on this poll, I've realized there are a handful of characters in yugioh that appear to be Way more popular than everyone else combined.

So, now I'm interested. CAN the combined power of every other character's fandoms stand up to one small handful? Let's find out.

Where is your favorite (classic) Yugioh character?

Yugi variant (Yugi/Yami/Atem/etc)

Bakura variant (Ryou/YBakura/TKB/etc) (NOT Zorc)

Seto Kaiba

Katsuya Jonouchi

Every Other Yugioh Character

multiple of the above and I can't choose

If you haven't heard, the em dash has been getting a lot of attention lately…

Because it was trained on pirated work—including freely accessible online writing (like fanfic, academic texts)—ChatGPT picked up patterns and quirks native to human writing.

Including (sigh) the em dash.

There are other victims here (RIP tapestry and delve 🫠), but the appropriation of the em dash—a punctuation mark beloved by writers everywhere—feels especially personal.

A kind of low-grade panic is ensuing. Writers who once memed their own em dash overuse—the greatest punctuation mark ever to grace the control-freak’s lexicon, frankly—are suddenly backing away to avoid accusations.

No. More. We have centuries of dash-abusing writers behind us. We will not sit quietly while AI repurposes our beloved stilted aside—or the just-one-more clarification the sentence demands—or the dramatic pause your comma could never—etc.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you.

Defend the em dash.
