ok we (Oscar Jess and me) have peer reviewed the knife vs pig fetish study and determined it needs a new poll with added context and controlling for actual variables
fetish scenario 1: you get fucked with a knife in the context of a loving consensual and healthy relationship. it is normal loving sex only a knife is involved. you are being fucked with the pointy end and there is a danger of you dying but it’s only a slight danger.
fetish scenario 2: women who are married to manly beefcake dudes get transformed (probably by a witch or some other woman) into a pig and/or a goblin. the women are unhappy about this and so are their husbands. everyone is generally miserable. the husbands still kind of love their goblin pig wives but are also disgusted by them, and in order to cope with the emotional trauma of being married to a pig goblin they abuse their wives a lot
the question is not which one you would rather do or which one is more dangerous or morally good or w/e. it is purely about which is the weirder more embarrassing fetish to have

Gonna put these two asks together because...yeah, I may end up repeating myself XD. I love all the Eds, but it would be a flat-out lie to say Double Dee is NOT my favorite.
I like how his good and bad qualities play out with his personality. I agree that this makes him feel very real and a lot like an actual kid his age. This is shared by all the Eds, but Double Dee's pretentiousness, anxiety, and fragility are aspects of characters I am especially drawn to. If I were to line up all my favorite fictional characters together with Double Dee, you would most definitely see a pattern.
I like as well how he does not fit neatly in the cookie-cutter role of the "smart friend". He is definitely a huge nerd, but he doesn't "look" like one based on first impressions and design alone (barring season 5 where his dorky cardigans kind of give it away lmao). He also does not feel like a complete know-it-all, nor does it set him above what his friends are doing. He is still a kid, after all, and like a lot of nerdy kids, his knowledge is specific to his particular interests and does not make him immediately more mature than anyone else. Like I stated earlier, it all just makes him more believable.
On a way more personal note, I favor him a lot because, as cheesy as it sounds, he kind of reminds me of myself. Especially at the age of 12-13. Not exactly, but in enough ways that I can still see myself in him. I was also a nerdy kid super into my niche subjects like animals. I would spend recess watching ant hills and read nonfiction books cover to back. I was admittedly rather haughty and a know-it-all, too. I would regularly correct people on inconsequential things and make a huge fuss about it. I still vividly remember getting into fights when other kids could not tell the difference between cheetah and jaguar spots. I was (and kind of still am) an academic over-achiever, as well, that sets my personal standards way too high for any functioning human. Simply put: when I watch Edd, I see a lot of my own qualities when I was a preteen, both the good and the bad, which makes him especially entertaining to me.
