Can we say this a bit louder for the rpers in the back? It grinds my gears when someone says "hands-down the best (character)!" like it's totally not their personal opinion, especially if they know other people who play that character could see or are even following. People have said this to me a few times and it always made me profusely uncomfortable and sorry for other people who played the same muse. No, it's not the end of the world for duplicates and yes, they can just move on, but it shouldn't just be on the reader, all I can think is why don't they have just the tiniest bit of awareness about how their words come off to other people? It's like collateral damage blindness.

(In case someone thinks I'm only tangentially relating that roleplay problem to this problem, if it helps: I've literally seen people call other muses boring to make their compliment for the target roleplayer stand out even more, like they're airing their dislikes about other muses at the same time as they're complimenting the target. It's a thing and it happens! And it's so horrible to me.)
