No matter what anyone else says or does to try to ruin your reputation, you will always know the truth, not letting anyone bring you down.
Character is greater than reputation.
I hold the truth, you don't have the power to affect my mood.
You are confusion, and at most confused within yourself.

A good person marker / Ethos / "I deserve this" marker.
Hym "It's funny that honesty isn't included in what constitutes being a 'good person' or having a 'good reputation'. We don't like honesty anymore. Like, there aren't 'good people' who are just a little lazy. There aren't any frugal 'good people'. I mean, generosity is obviously good but when your actively gaslighting someone and trying to arbitrate fame it almost seems like you need a 'good person' to be anything other than 'someone who doesn't gaslight strangers and use their ability to appeal to their own credibility to appoint themselves as the supreme arbiter of all moral virtue.'

That's another annoying thing, you use your ethic to give yourself the extracurricular and exclusionary right to change the world in your image. 'You shouldn't criticize the world! You didn't vacuum your carpet this morning or something! But I have a responsibility to change the world in my image even though that makes me an ideologue... which is bad... but I deserve it because I have ethos... which makes it good... but I mask my ideology by projecting my ethic onto religion... which makes it religion... Yeaaah... And no one can do what I do ... Except for that one guy who pulled a hypertext out of his ass.... it won't be intimated by the culture.... oh, wait... it was intimated into 2 different cultures... holy shit I'm a beloved anime character now! Because of him and not me.... That guy is the greatest! What a Goddamn genius! I wish he would breed out my daughter like The Honelander was going to do to Maeve... Except in a sexual way... Then his super-kids could take over the world!' AHAHAHAA! It's just too fucking priceless! I tried to apologize! I tried to give you plenty of time to see the error of you ways... Some people just cannot see reason. It's a Goddamn shame. Hahahahaha! I might not have a good reputation but I am am archetypal figure. So that's good."

How divorced is it from identity? Inextricably linked? Entirely divorced? Somewhere inbetween? And how would you define it? I would say Reputation: How you are perceived by others across time. It's an impossibility for it to be tied to your ability to 'act ethically' because you can act ethically or unethically while no one else is around and, therefore, would not affect your reputation. "Acting ethically" is entirely independent from "being seen acting ethically."
Hym "Instances where reputation is incongruent with identity are myriad. A statistical reality. And I would even go as far as to say that it's commonplace in the realm of celebrity. As a matter of fact, who outside of celebrity even has an articulable reputation of any real significance? Look at you, I mean, you have a reputation that ranges (literally) from 'great prophet of our generation' to 'a literal super Nazi' What is anyone supposed to do with that? And how do you base a society on it? AND how does that not devolve into a sort of Chinese communist party-esque social credit score system? You have said that the psychoanalysts are wrong and that identity is something that is mediated by the public. If you accept the definition above, how is that not a conflation of reputation and identity? It seems (to me) that you are arguing that 'persona' should take precedence over 'the self.' Which is a proposition I disagree with. But I'll expound on that later... I'm tired..."
