i'm sorry, anon. fwiw that's not usually the conclusion my brain immediately jumps to regarding these types of situations, although I might scrutinize your writing habits, icons, etc. a bit more closely at first if i was genuinely concerned. but unless it's a That Kronk or Bill Cypher type of situation, i think you should just go for it!

even in the case of those two specific examples, people are gonna pick out the obvious differences between you and their infamous players pretty quickly and i've even seen people express pretty regularly that they wish someone non-wanky would play Kronk because they'd like to interact with a genuinely good iteration of the character. so who knows, you might get a lot of fun threads with people who are just happy to play with a non-toxic version of the character. but i can almost guarantee you are putting a lot more thought into this than any of the potential people you'd be playing against.
