The B-plot in Ender's Game tells a compelling story of a couple of young adults nefariously posting their way straight into the Presidency. People want to believe this is how real life works so badly. They'll watch a plutocrat elevated by other plutocrats into an office historically held by plutocrats and conclude "Shitposters on the internet did this".

But to be fair Ender's Game was written in 1985, before the modern internet.

Surprise anyone who calls themselves a "nice guy" was never actually nice.
-
They always say shit like "at least I don't hit her" or "at least I'm not an alcoholic" while missing that those qualities are a given.
I think it's a form of narcissism where they can't handle that their personality is shitty so they project it into the world. They have to use outlandish examples because they're not such hot catches themselves.

What else would I call myself? I mean, if someone says "hey, what type of guy are you?" Am I supposed to dance around the word "nice" because someone coined a social media buzzword for it mean "guy who thinks hes owed a blow job for holding a door open"?
So now when someone asks: "What type of guy are you?" and you just stick the nikes on and:

My 7th grade English teacher didn't let our class use the word "nice." She considered it a lazy word, one easily replaceable by a variety of adjectives without any meaning being lost. Every time we thought to use the word "nice," we were challenged to explore our vocabulary and come up with something more fitting and descriptive.
Therefore, the argument that there is no better word to describe one's self than "nice" is weak. English is a rich language full of diverse vocabulary, much of which carries more powerful meanings than "nice." If 12 year olds could do it, I'm sure you could too.

If you're legitimately worried about someone asking you that exact question (which is sort of an odd phrasing, I don't think it would happen often) and you're worried it would be done by people who don't know you well, just talk about a hobby or something.
- What type of guy are you?
- For work I do blah, for play I do blah, and I'm really into hobby.

What type of guy are you?

I just say that I'm the worst.

"hey, what type of guy are you?"
I'm a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude.

hey, what type of guy are you?
I've never been asked that question without some context like food or music. I don't know why anyone would ask that in a sense of "are you a nice guy or an asshole?" There's just no way to be sure you're getting a useful answer: many people think of themselves as nice, some have self-esteem issues and put themselves down instead and very few are actually genuine assholes and unashamed to admit as much.
So if someone were to ask me that without context? I'd respond "what do you mean?"

Look, buddy, if you think jerking off while playing Baldur's Gate 3 is "nothing" that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Meanwhile, War Thunder players be leaking classified documents on vehicles to prove that it isn't modeled correctly in-game.

Based behavior, they do it for the love of the game and being correct in online arguments.

I mean I'll take a stack of edgelordy over one tumblrina or Blue Skyer.

Wasn't there some famous quote that went something like "the three things to fear are a moonless night, the sea in storm and the wrath of a gentle man"?
