What's with the jokes about Fyodor being dirty, having lice, and being a rat? Is it because he's Russian? Is it a reference to his books? (I never read them unfortunately) Like, I seriously don't get it. I'm not talking about you specifically btw but you are one of the older people in the fandom so I feel like you'd know

I know he's the leader of The Rats in the House of the Dead, and their logo is a purple rat. Also, I think somebody calls him a rat in the manga at some point? Maybe in reference to that organization? As for how the fandom perceives him, I'm afraid I'm really not sure. I don't really see those types of jokes, but I also curate my online experience so I don't see the things that get on my nerves in this fandom. I'm also not very familiar with Russian stereotypes. Sorry, anon ^^;
