The Quanton Paradoxon

Greetings fellow fog creatures.

I got a question for you. Why are mythical quantons you encounter in the wild sea of soloq always either a baby or a 15.000 hour god?

please-bring-back-goblin-quentin-that-was-the-whole-reason-v0-vjg6pnbdx04a1.jpg

And why do stereotypes like this even occur? Why does ace always have dead hard? Why is sable even more of a meghead than meg? And why do ghouls eat crayons?

I am genuenly interested in regards to how stereotypes like this form.

Your own stereotypes are of course welcome.

    People have some prejudice toward the character, if they encounter someone who follows it, they remember them, if they do not, they forget him(not even intentionally). That's it.

    excuse me? Just because i am pretty bad doesnt mean i am a baby. I just play like one.


    As to stereotypes, especially with Ghoul and Sable, those are very much liked characters (Sable aesthetically, Ghoul as he has just a very easy to pick up/efficient power) and this attracts plenty of players including beginners, and the more extreme playstyles like ‘Meghead’-gameplay will be naturally noticed more and stay in memory.

    The Ghoul stereotype comes from Ghoul not being particularly difficult to play compared to their value. It's less a stereotype and more commentary on the low skill floor.

    I literally do not understand why it's always a Sable but it is. Unless it's some major confirmation bias. I have definitely come up against some cracked Sables when I've been on killer, though. It's not universal.

    Some of my own stereotypes (unsure if true but based on my anecdotal experience):

    • Springtraps using default skin are either children or completely cracked while being chill. The cracked ones will double hook everyone at 4 gens then play for jumpscares and maybe kill 1 survivor if they bag. However, Springtraps using a paid skin, especially the Blighted skin, play the dirtiest, taking full advantage of Springtrap being one of the best proxy campers in the game. I am the exception as a default Springtrap main that is neither cracked nor a child.
    • Eto Neas are usually BM city. Full chase perks + flaslights + bag at every pallet/vault. However, unlike bunny Fengs, they have the skill to back it up, making them my most feared opponents.
    • Nic Cages are just in it for the chaos. If the comedic timing is there for it, they will Plot Twist.
    • Clowns are not toxic in the slightest, but play full NPC mode. They are joyless.
    • I've noticed an uptick in mean Pigs. I feel I missed cute Pig's prime. I suspect it's trauma from pallet density.
    • I've never met a Mikaela that is good at the game. This includes me. I main Mikaela.
    • Dwight has the same stereotype as Quentin to me. Either complete baby or insane, no in-between.
    • David Kings wanna just do their gen. They'll deal with chase but never seek it out.
    • Mina players play for the Mori. Trickster players in general have been the ones I've had the most direct toxicity from, excluding Bubba, but Bubba is Bubba so it doesn't count.
    • Default Wraiths are babies, Silent Bell Wraiths are bad at chase and every other Wraith is going to test your chase skills to the limit.
    • Nemesis tunnels.
    • Leons try to be heroes and end up throwing. Adas bring altruism/save perks then proceed never to use them.

    But how do those prejudices form? For example, why do characters like Portia or Felix have no famed stereotype attached to them?

    The springtrap stereotype is completely new to me. I feel like springtraps are always somewhat different.

    Cant really deny the trickster allegations though, they love to be toxic for some reason.

    It's purely my experience. I think the main Springtrap stereotype is that they're kinda bad at the game.

    I have a few odd stereotypes

    • If you play against Sadako its either a baby or OnePumpWillie himself.
    • If either Vecna 1.0 or 2.0 spins before casting their spells you WILL lose the match.
    • The bloody outfit or the mothman fit for Pyramid Head automatically makes you hit all your shots.
    • Sables wearing red are good most of the time, don't expect anything from the rest.

    The sadako stereotype matches so well. I never versed a sadako that was mid. They are always either demons with a brain the size of jane or 1 hour andys.
