The fact that they had to go to fictional characters is significant.

We're in the LOTR community, the sample may be a little biased

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, but the person who responded to the question wasn't in a LOTR community.

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All the other people who answered weren't posted here

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I know, I'm just referring to this particular person's response.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good point!

Okay, real world examples from me (notably, a big dude, so y'know, probably not as in tune to things as I could be):

Bernie Sanders My brother My Uncle

... I... Really thought I'd have better options until I really started thinking about it

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah. Same issue here. So how about:

Bob Ross. Carl Sagan. Steve Irwin.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd swap Steve for Bernie.

Not because I think Steve would hurt anyone directly. But at any moment he may be like "would you like to see this deadly spider I've got in m'pocket?" And then pull out a spider that even spider scientists didn't know existed or some shit. He would never let the spider hurt you, but you'd have a heart attack anyway.

[–] Shou@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I think he'd respect the spider enough not to keep it in a pocket. Though Bernie seems popular in the comments too.

also that 2 of them aren't men

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I would take "men" to just mean "male people," since it's not being asked in the context of a fantasy world.

The people you know well enough to trust them are close to you but unknown to others, so other people wouldn't really appreciate your answer if it was just some common unknown people. You mostly cannot bet on the character of celebrities, because you don't know them personally (see Gaiman). Fictional characters are known by many people and their personalities are nicely described in the books, movies, whatever....

it really isn't, people comfortably stand in elevators with men all the time lol
