Are there any characters that you think are NPD-coded?

[reverendender@sh.itjust.works]

Yeah, Patrick Bateman seems pretty plainly obvious to me also

[spacefox@lemmy.ml]

. Captain Hero from Drawn Together, He's hyper sensitive to criticism, obsessed with self-image and how he's seen by others and preoccupied with fantasies of wealth and recognition. Wikipedia says he supposed to be "sociopathic" but to me he's fits the bill for NPD more than anything else.

[spacefox@lemmy.ml]

Why? I've watched a lot of Futurama and he's outgoing and self centered but not in a narcissistic way. He just doesn't care about social norms or what others think. He doesn't have a high self image or need to be seen by others.

The problem with analyzing Patrick Bateman is that it's like analyzing Jason Voorhees or Mike Myers. Bateman doesn't really have a character outside of just being a sadist.

[thekracken@lemmy.world]

He's always bragging about how he's the greatest. Did you forget the episode where he built a giant statue shouting "Remember me!" ?

[dingus@lemmy.world]

How can you watch Futurama for any length of time and not think he's incredibly self centered and narcissistic lol

Anyway...to the OP...a character that vibes towards that for my is Shawn from Psych. Not to the degree of having NPD, but there is definitely a lot of narcissism there.

Rick Sanchez defined the subset of the multiverse where he is the smartest being in the universe as the “Central Finite Curve.”

That’s pretty narcissistic.

bender bending rodriguez

• Roger from American Dad
• Homelander from The Boys

[juliebean@lemm.ee]

to cite one example, just last night i happened to watch the episode "I Second That Emotion". in this, bender is so upset that others are paying attention to nibbler instead of him at nibbler's birthday party that he makes a big cake with his own name in huge letters, and when nibbler eats it before everyone else can see it and recognize how great bender is, he flushes nibbler down the toilet.

Raphael from Baldur's Gate 3.

[ace_garp@lemmy.world]

More like, Zapp Brannigan for NPD.

[absgeeknz@lemmy.nz]

I wouldn't really characterise rick as narcissistic, he is a nihilistic arsehole.

It can be both
