You gotta be dark triad to win the FUOTY

[asdvek]

how would one need to be dark triad to win FUOTY? explain

Below is a descriptive, analytical explanation, not advice or endorsement.
To “win” something like FUOTY (which is fundamentally a popularity + attention + narrative contest), Dark Triad traits can be instrumentally useful because the competition rewards visibility, influence, and dominance, not fairness.

Machiavellianism — Engineering the outcome​

• Understanding that FUOTY is about votes, alliances, and optics, not merit
• Strategically shaping narratives, mobilizing supporters, exploiting rules or gray areas
• Treating people as means (voters, boosters, shields) rather than equals

→ This trait helps optimize the system, regardless of ethics.

Narcissism — Commanding attention​

• Strong self-belief, grandiosity, and comfort being the center of controversy
• Turning the contest into a referendum on your importance
• Thriving on visibility (even negative attention fuels relevance)

→ FUOTY-style contests reward those who can dominate attention cycles.

Psychopathy — Fearlessness and escalation​

• Low fear of backlash, shame, or social punishment
• Willingness to escalate conflict, provoke, or burn bridges
• Emotional detachment that allows relentless pushing without guilt

→ This enables persistence and aggression when others would self-censor or withdraw.

The key insight​

FUOTY structurally favors people who:

• Are willing to manipulate
• Crave recognition
• Aren’t restrained by guilt or social norms

People high in empathy, fairness, and restraint are often outcompeted in such environments—not because they’re weaker, but because the system rewards traits they refuse to use.
If you want, I can also explain:

• why these contests select for Dark Triad behavior
• how non–Dark Triad players sometimes still win
• or how communities can design systems that don’t reward this profile

You can't win FUOTY if you're not dark triad
