: Actually no, it wasn't. I repeated what the previous person said (hence
: quotation marks) to underscore how your reasons for using
: "Marcus" are irrelevant. The only relevant thing is that it
: isn't the character's name. This community doesn't call him by that name,
: so maybe just refer to him as the SO, especially since every time you
: don't you keep getting flack for it.
: You could just as easily try to call him Igor, Tabitha, or Mr. Flumby Wumby
: and use the excuse "I don't like nameless protagonists". It
: doesn't matter; none of those things are the character's name, doesn't
: matter whether a fan mod gave him a name, and your personal preferences
: don't matter when they annoy or frustrate the people you're talking to.
I cast 1 vote to referring to him as Mr. Flumby Wumby from now on.
