Saiyan Doomer
2022
The Doomer is an extremely pessimistic variant of the Feels Guy, a character from internet memes. Saiyan Doomer in turn produces a variant of the Doomer by hybridising it with Vegeta. Vegeta is one of the protagonists of the manga Dragon Ball. He comes from a destroyed planet, is very proud and forbids himself from being weak, which regularly leads him to knowingly take on enemies far stronger than himself and lose. But he possesses one notable power: when he comes close to death, his power increases. He is a Nietzschean character, built as an illustration of the will to power. The Doomer embodies the inverse: a resigned powerlessness. The fusion of the two characters rests on a paradox, a necessary instability leading back to Norman Ajari's definition of dignity: “the capacity of the oppressed to stand upright between life and death”
On another scale, it is also an updating of Vegeta, a model for many children of proletarians of my generation.
