- UT is not fat (yet sassy)
- IIRC it spawned from LoL? Which UT doesn't play often anymore, AFAIK.
- Something something Gay Mafia.
- Knowing UT in-person, I can say 'it just fits'. UT is the kind of person to take a nickname like that in stride and not as an insult or anything.
That said, I can see some people taking issue with that as an actual title, obviously, so.

If we can't think of a good way of synthesizing a users unique personality on the site, the most likely explanation is that they don't yet deserve a title, not that we should think harder.
Settling on something that isn't that good is even worse, since people tend not to suggest titles for those that already have them. It means when the user does do something that is title worthy they won't get a title based off of it, and that's super lame.
Titles aren't just candy that everyone gets. They're a recognition of something specific. Trying to recognize something specific when nothing specific has happened yet is the actual silly part.

I personally have no idea who she even is but if that title really fits well and people like it then Hito's or UT's endless folders of gifs shouldn't stop us from awarding it to her. It doesn't matter if the shoe fits someone else, what matters is if the shoe fits her.
