11190094 Anon's supposed to represent literally anybody. He's green-skinned because if he was white, or black, or asian, he wouldn't be a *totally* blank slate. Hell, the only reason he's a guy is because 99.9% of the time, the people using him as a template are also dudes, and because sex has far more bodily implications than something like skin color or hair color does, and isn't really something you could hand-wave away when your character is supposed to be something an almost exclusively male audience is using.
11190094 11190107 Pretty much. I think a lot of people forget that Anon isn't really a specific character design or that he has a specific personality. The fandom has used him in almost exclusively the same ways, which leads people to think that he is supposed to be that way. Anon is supposed to be a blank slate and a place-holder for the reader, or just a name to use when you're writing second-person.
11190138 I think that hits this story's problem right on the head. It's just multiple chapters of a reader-insert being miserable and never changing anything, nothing about the situation getting better. And to be honest, so far it's been terrible.
