* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Matt is [[spoiler:derided in-universe as a terrible friend at best and a rapist at worst for talking the comic's deuterogamist Lilian into bed when they were both younger. This ignores the fact that Roomie, Lilian's eventual girlfriend, has a history of getting women drunk and trying to have sex with them (potentially committing date rape), including towards Lilian herself. Roomie's inappropriate actions are noted in a few strips, but she's quickly forgiven and her actions are considered petty indiscretions, whereas Matt has to undergo therapy from guilt and made into a pariah by the rest of the cast.]]

Internet Backdraft is now Flame Bait and being dewicked per TRS.


* InternetBackdraft: Fans got into passionate discussions to full-blown arguments over whether [[spoiler:Matt raped Lillian when they dated. [[http://www.gogetaroomie.com/comic/i-guess-not In the strip]], it's revealed that Matt and Lillian dated but Matt, not wanting to fall behind his peers, coerced and emotionally manipulated Lillian into having sex for their first time with extremely vague consent from Lillian. Some fans backed him up saying that Lillian seems to miss him when her family moves and he was a stupid teenager, but others say that he emotionally manipulated her into sex, which is rape and also may be a reason as to why she comes off as asexual in the present.]]

Mary Sue is a flamebait trope, and cannot have examples


* MarySue: Roomie starts out as a straight example. She's an unrepentant moocher who seems to have no respect for boundaries, or even comprehension of them. Everyone she meets seems to think she's perfect, with the possible exception of the DefrostingIceQueen, whose gradual warming up to Roomie is presented as positive CharacterDevelopment on her part. She's also practically [[TheCasanova irresistible]], an able martial artist...you get the picture. However, she gradually transitions into a {{deconstruction}}, as it's revealed that she's deeply unsettled that she's everyone's ManicPixieDreamGirl but stays in the same place she always is herself. She notices [[FlatCharacter how little character development happened to her]] when she returns and realizes that people moved on just fine without her around. Later on, [[http://www.gogetaroomie.com/index.php?id=728 she even apologizes to LT if she comes off as one]]...in a typically Roomie-fied way.
