* {{Adorkable}}: A young Aussie in a maroon (now orange) button-up shirt who reviews animation. He is pretty much the embodiment of this trope.

** He also seems to have little tolerance for works that are excessively mean-spirited just for the sake of it or towards undeserving characters; this is a big reason behind his despising of ''Disney/ChickenLittle'' and modern ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', for instance.

** Cheaply-produced girls' cartoons that consist entirely of one-note characters doing stereotypically girly things like painting their nails or talking about boys, as he believes that cartoons for girls should be held to the same standard as other cartoons. In other words, they should be more than just sparkly pink cashgrabs/toy commercials and should have fleshed-out characters, quality animation, coherent plots, etc.

** Strider dislikes cartoons that use excessive amounts of grossout humor or over-the-top violence simply to shock/disgust their audience, something many of the shows on his Top 10 Worst Cartoons series are guilty of.

* GoshDangItToHeck: No matter how bad something is when he's reviewing it, Strider pretty much watches his language and remarkably avoids starting a ClusterFBomb.
