    People probably saw it and had a slight chuckle and hit the up arrow.

    I think that’s probably it. It doesn’t need to be authentic or true to the character to elicit that response. I doubt it’s some deep thing, or that there’s something seriously wrong with the community.

    Besides, I think the fact that this is extremely unlike Rom is somewhat of a subversion of expectations, and is a deliberate part of the joke. I think that’s being missed.
