You, only [[Darker and Edgier|cooler, edgier, and often ruder]].
It should be noted that
See also: [[GIRL]], [[GIFT]], [[Beneath the Mask]], [[Troll]], [[Griefer]], and [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]. Closely [[Stealth Pun|related to]] [[What You Are in the Dark]]. Compare [[Maddened Into Misanthropy]]. Not to be confused with the [[Race Lift|other kind of Darker You]]. Or the ''other'' [[Evil Twin|other kind]] for that matter.
----
== General examples ==
* Many internet [[
* Pretty much the entire purpose of [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]; you can choose to be a complete and total, uninhibited psychopath, with no consequences.
* [[Griefer
* In [[Fan Fiction]], overlap this with a failed [[Author Avatar]] and you get a [[Mary Sue]]. A [[Jerk Sue]] or possibly even a [[Villain Sue]], if they're heavy on the "darker" and/or "ruder" parts; emphasizing the "cooler" part can result in any kind of Sue.
=== [[Anime]] ===
* ''[[
=== [[Film]] ===
* The red pills of ''[[The Matrix]]''. Before their introduction to the Real World, they were hackers, geeks and other freaks. This makes it obvious why, when they go back into the Matrix, they all wear [[Badass Longcoat|longcoats]] and [[Cool Shades|sunglasses]].
* The Dark Princess in ''[[Mirror Mask]]''.
=== [[Literature]] ===
* Harry Dresden from ''[[The Dresden Files]]'' once had a chat with his subconscious. It was a surprisingly civil conversation.
* Perdita is this to Agnes Nitt in ''Maskerade'' and later [[Discworld]] books.
=== [[Live
* On ''[[Caprica]]'', New Cap City is a virtual environment built around this concept along with [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]], where the whole point of the game is to have fun without getting killed by someone else's idea of fun. Everyone gets access to the guns, drugs, cash, and sex they could want, and the only major consequence being that if you're too slow, you die and can never return.
=== [[Web Original]] ===
* James Rolfe, [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]], is a similar example to Maddox. A lot of people fail to realize that the AVGN is just a character and [[Mean Character, Nice Actor|Rolfe is actually a normal, pleasant person.]]
** Same goes for [[That Guy With The Glasses]] crew. Doug, Noah, Lewis and Lindsay are all much nicer and much more well-adjusted compared to [[The Nostalgia Critic]], [[The Spoony Experiment|Spoony]], [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] and [[The Nostalgia Chick]], respectively.
