@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ Some signs of egoism include:
- **Drawing someone's own face (or letting someone else do it) and then using it for a profile picture**. "Modern" soydevs on twitter and blogs are so guilty of this, especially the "game devs" with pixel art portraits etc., it's so narcissistic and cringe you just want to puke. Why would anyone humble even allow someone to make a statue of him, allowing the danger of cult of personality and becoming a [hero](hero_culture.md)? Why the fuck do people obsess about forcing their ugly faces onto others?
- **Decorating one's body obsessively, trying to adopt an "image"**, especially with [tattoos](tattoo.md), wild hairstyles, clothes that serves other purpose than pure protection from weather, for example a **[suit](suit.md)** etc. A good man will never try to look much different from how he'd look naturally, he will minimize effort put into caring about looks and will try to avoid the danger of applying manipulative psychological tricks such as appeal by looks.
- **Putting one's name in (or near) the title of his creation**: one of the most famous examples being the *Shit Faggot's Game Of Civilization*. Yes, [Linux](linux.md) counts too; even though [Linus](torwalds.md) didn't name it himself, he just waited for someone else to do it for him and then didn't protest; he also joked about it, trying to make it look OK, though without success (see below).
- **Putting one's name in (or near) the title of his creation**: one of the most famous examples being the *Shit Moron's Game Of Civilization*. Yes, [Linux](linux.md) counts too; even though [Linus](torwalds.md) didn't name it himself, he just waited for someone else to do it for him and then didn't protest; he also joked about it, trying to make it look OK, though without success (see below).
- **Egoism masked as [joking](jokes.md)** (see also **[humorwashing](humorwashing.md)**), i.e. doing something egoistic and then pretending to do it for the sake of a joke; for example in the book *World of Warcraft Diary* the author *X* puts a huge quote of himself on one page and jokingly writes under it *"X quoting X in his own book"* -- hahaha we laughed ok? It's not egoism, it's done for a joke, BTW the quote will stay there. The author here thinks he is smart as he thinks this achieves two things: promoting himself while also making him look like someone with a sense of humor. In fact it just makes him look like the most egocentric bastard.
- **[Assertiveness](assertiveness.md)**.
- **Giving oneself special names**. Making a quick Internet handle is cool for practical purposes, inventing an artistic name or even changing it legally is just an inflated ego.
