The fact that they had to go to fictional characters is significant.
We're in the LOTR community, the sample may be a little biased
Yes, but the person who responded to the question wasn't in a LOTR community.
All the other people who answered weren't posted here
I know, I'm just referring to this particular person's response.
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.
