Gamer Archetype
There are two ways to classify gamers, by time and genre.
Time: The basic and easy to define archetype.
Casual: These gamers often log less than 20 hours of play time a week
Core: The bulk of gamers, the play usually between 20-30 hours a week
Hardcore: These gamers manage to log 30-40+ hours a week. I fit into this genre.
-SubCore: Gamers that would be hardcore, but are restricted on time, because of parental/girlfriend/boyfriend interference.
Lead: These are the gamers you see at the top of the leaderboards, and statistically, for most games, these people work less than 20 hours a week. for most games this is the line you don't want to cross.

The Komaeda Archetype
In a similar vein to a Tumblr Sexyman, The Komaeda Archetype is a character comparable to Nagito Komaeda from the DanganRonpa (who this is named after) franchise. Komaeda got his fame in the fanbase from his tragic past and his personality easy to be pure tween goo-goo eyes bait. However, due to the writing of his character and the games in general, Komaeda is relatively divisive amongst the fanbase with fans either loving him or hating him.
Typically, a character who falls under The Komaeda Archetype fits under these fours tropes:
- The character plays a major role in the story
- The character plays an antagonistic role but is not originally presented as such.
- The character is morally grey; they have a justification for their actions and/or reason for redemption
- The fanbase of the character’s source material is split on their options regarding them; fans either adore them or despise them
Although more factors can contribute to a character being a Komaeda, these four are the most important determining who does or does not count as a Komaeda.
(This concept originated from Tumblr user @HellTabby)

Honestly, I wish I could like character name, but you can really tell that they were written with The Komaeda Archetype in mind.

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
