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

      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

        Yeah. Same issue here. So how about:

        Bob Ross. Carl Sagan. Steve Irwin.

          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.
