Mercer is known on many forums, he is hated on 90% and normally has 1000+ posts. He generallys fights with the mods and admins and ends up getting banned.
Well... this is probably a rather odd guy who you can’t exactly figure out. He’s really smart, like really smart. If you have a problem, he’ll not only be able to solve it, but be super nice about it. Also most likely a bookish nerd at the same time.
At the same time as being a little too intelligent to be normal people’s friends, he has a sorta popular side, accented by the fact that this person is either gay or acts like it. Music is also probably his forte.

Matthew Mercer is the Dungeon Master of the popular Dungeons & Dragons show "Critical Role".
The "mercer-effect" is what people call it when fans of the show get into D&D carrying the expectation that their sessions should be at least as good or similar to what they've seen in the show, not keeping in mind that the players seen on Critical Role have years of experience in both D&D and acting.
"I hosted a session with some 1st-timers the other night, they wouldn't stop talking about Critical Role and how we should try to play our game more like that."
