I can explain the reference if people like really wanna know but I still don't think it makes a good title due to how niche it is.
tl;dr its just a character, but I think it fits somewhat well?

I think your instinct about titles that reference niche media is a good one.

There really isn’t much point to nomming titles for members that they’re almost certainly likely to auto reject, is there?

anti-nom that norway title
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I could be wrong but I don't think Menas intent was to be mean.

The presumption being that Norwee would auto reject the title.

There's always the chance that Norwee would want the title on the grounds that he also thought the joke was funny, which would also kind of invalidate the whole "It's mean" aspect of the complaint. I'm not saying Norwee would like the title or accept it, but in his shoes I definitely would accept the title, especially given the fact that if we ever changed the default titles he would be able to keep Survivor. And I think it satisfies enough of the criteria to actually make sense as a title for Norwee.

tl;dr: the person whose opinion matters on whether it's mean or not is Norwee, and if he doesn't like the title he definitely has the option of refusing it.

Sure but isn’t the whole point of a title, that it be something unique to its user?

Wouldn't it be?

Norwee would be the only person on site with a special title that was the same as the normal title. It's a reference to something that happened in site history, and from what limited interactions I've had with Norwee I think there's a decent chance he'll find that funny too.

I'm not saying it's a perfect title, but personally I think it's at least worth offering to him, and I just wanted to explain why I think that.
