## What Makes Him A Base Breaking Character?

#### What Do People Like About Him?

* Outside from all of the fart jokes he makes throughout the series, fans tend to find his jerkass personality to be very funny, who is also very entertaining to watch. Fans believe that he is actually a pretty good character without the fart jokes.
* Fans did like his interactions with some of the cast in the series, the two most examples are with Chase and Zee, and is often seen as a trio with the both of them.
* By the few times he mentioned his parents, it is heavily implied that he grew up in a toxic household. He mentions that his father would always drop him and his 3 brothers when they were babies, he also mentions that two of them are fine. As for his mother, he mentions that she thinks babies ruin everything, so she's openly telling her son that she wish he was never born.
* In the second season of the reboot, he began to be shown as a positive light, helping his popularity. He began to be more kind towards others, used less fart jokes, and even fell in love with Axel. Fans enjoyed seeing a soft side of Ripper.
* His fans enjoyed him for his crush on Axel. Fans find him and his relationship with Axel adorable, especially since he made a poem for her which made her fall in love with him.

#### What Do People Dislike About Him?

* Many detractors view his character to be an annoying misogynistic jerk who shamelessly bullies the other contestants, doesn't care about anyone, and calls anyone who says something smart a nerd.
* He is mostly seen as a big fart machine who is mainly focused on too much fart jokes. While Owen was a character used for fart jokes, he at least had likable qualities to him and was generally nice, but Ripper doesn't have any likable qualities to him. This can also make detractors his character gross and unfunny.
	+ One scene after receiving the marshmallow, Ripper decides to fart on the marshmallow (in fact the marshmallow changes colors too). The worst part is that he decides to eat it afterwards.
* Ripper ended up surviving each elimination before merge. Due to this, detractors believe he had too much screen time and had too much plot armor. This ended up getting many fan favorites eliminated, leading detractors to believe that it would've been better if Ripper got eliminated earlier.
* Due to his portrayal from last season, detractors believe that him taking a level of kindness was completely undeserved.
