Problematic Character Tournament
Welcome! This is a tournament intended to find Tumblr's Favourite Problematic Guy (/gender neutral).
Characters with all levels of "problematic" are allowed, but the general baseline is they have to... well, not be a great person. Maybe they're an asshole. Maybe they committed a genocide or two. As long as they've done something that would make people slap the word Problematic on them, send them on in!
Obviously, bad characters who did bad things are going to appear here, and they'll likely have some level of fondness expressed for them in the notes. If you're someone who thinks someone's taste in fictional characters reflects their real-life morals, this probably isn't the blog for you. Other than that, everything will be tagged with the names of characters and fandoms, so easy to avoid anything you have a specific issue with!
Your voting criteria is completely up to you - you can vote for the character you believe is more problematic, the character you're more familiar with, the character you like better, the character that has the most compelling propaganda, anything goes. The goal is to highlight and give some love to characters people might otherwise write off as Too Problematic, but that's done just by them being submitted in the first place!
A similar tournament for problematic ships is something I'm likely to do once this concludes (unless people have other ideas that drum up more interest first), but that's a topic for later!
You can call me Blue and despite the topics appearing here I'm very friendly I promise! Feel free to ask questions or send in feedback about anything at all and I'll do my best to help <3
