1 | Hey, I'm just another guy who likes anime, video games, {{wuxia}} movies, Japanese culture, and some other stuff I can't think of off the top of my head. |
2 | |
3 | So I'll just list tropes that apply to me: |
4 | * '''AGoodNameForARockBand:''' "Hey, that sounds like a good band name!" used to be of one of my catch phrases. |
5 | * '''RacialFaceBlindness:''' I'm a Filipino who likes Japanese and Korean culture, but I've been mistaken for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, and even Mexican. |
6 | * '''ApologisesALot:''' Used to. Certain people close to me hated it, so [[OldShame I try to avoid this]]. |
7 | * '''BeYourself:''' I used to be afraid of this because I was so different from most of the people in my middle school and early high school classes, but now I follow this strongly. |
8 | * '''BuffySpeak:''' Decreased over the years, but I still do it sometimes. |
9 | * '''CampStraight:''' For the most part, averted, until you consider my taste in music. |
10 | * '''DeadpanSnarker:''' I easily slip into this when talking about people I don't like. |
11 | * '''TheDogBitesBack:''' There was this one time when I was a kid and I got back at another kid for bullying me the previous school year. |
12 | ** '''DefeatMeansFriendship:''' Then after I got him to apologize, this happened, and later zigzagged a couple of years later. |
13 | * '''EverythingIsRacist:''' Being of Filipino descent, and having had classmates in middle school who weren't exactly kind to Asians, I had this mindset throughout most of middle school until maybe early high school, where I still noticed it occasionally. It got to the point where I would automatically play the race card to pretty much anyone who wasn't nice to me. But I've lightened up a LOT since then. |
14 | ** It briefly came back in recent years. |
15 | * '''FanNickname:''' I have a few. |
16 | ** '''{{Toys/Barbie}} Falcon:''' [[VideoGame/FZero Captain Falcon's]] pink color scheme in [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Smash]]. |
17 | ** '''Neckbeard/Euphoric Gentlesir:''' Almost any fictional character who wears a fedora. |
18 | ** '''[[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sanic the Hedgeheg]] (sic)''' |
19 | * '''HeroesPreferSwords:''' In video games, I always prefer to use characters with swords. |
20 | * '''GratuitousForeignLanguage:''' A few cases. |
21 | ** Chinese: I have a tendency to say "Aiya!" when most people would say "oh my god". Also, thanks to a [[SleepingDogs certain game]], I sometimes use Cantonese insults like [[SpellMyNameWithAnS pok gai/puk gaai]]. |
22 | *** I've outgrown this and I think [[OldShame it was silly]]. |
23 | ** [[GratuitousJapanese Japanese]]: I sometimes say "Yosh!" when I get up from a seat or lift something heavy. |
24 | ** [[YiddishAsASecondLanguage Yiddish]]: I'm not Jewish, but thanks to a friend, I've taken to saying "oy vey" when I see something cringeworthy. |
25 | *** Haven't done this one in a while. |
26 | * '''MistakenForGay:''' In middle school, I had a male classmate who was very, ''very'' [[StalkerWithACrush clingy and possessive of me, would stare at me, watching pretty much every movement I made, follow me around constantly, and would get extremely jealous if I hung around anyone other than him]]. And he would deny it whenever I or anyone else called out [[TransparentCloset the obvious]]. But because he was always seen around me, everyone in my class mistook us for a gay couple. It didn't help that most of them were homophobic. |
27 | ** There was another time when a girl mistook me for gay after I told her I liked Music/SuperJunior. And because I know what {{Yaoi}} is. Not because I liked it, which I don't. Just because I know what it is. |
28 | * '''OldShame:''' Listed under other tropes on this page, and too many more to list. |
29 | * '''PungeonMaster''' |
30 | ** [[OldShame I don't really do this anymore.]] |
31 | * '''TheOneGuy:''' I probably have more female friends than male friends, so this happens a lot. |
32 | * '''RyuAndKen:''' One of my best friends and I always used to compare ourselves to them, since we were such huge Franchise/StreetFighter fans as kids. FTR, I was the Ryu between us when we were kids, but now I think I've become the more easygoing and fun-loving Ken while he's become more of the wise and introspective Ryu. |
