Line 9:
* [[Fan Dumb]]: To say the least, many examples of Purists, Strawstuffers, Toxic Geniuses, and Willfully Blind tend to roam around on the official and many unofficial forums.
* [[Genius Bonus]]: The reason the female ghosts are more powerful than the male ones is due to a theory in genetics and parapsychology that if [[Psychic Powers]] existed, they would most likely appear in women first.
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: Competitive ''Starcraft'' is absolutely dominated by South Koreans. If you hear an e-sports commentator refer to a player as a "foreigner," they don't mean that he grew up in Korea--they mean he grew up ''outside'' Korea.
* [[Goddamned Bats]]: Early worker units become this, especially Probes, who can warp in buildings anywhere instantly and move on to keep running. Terrans can use ranged Marines to shoot them down, zerg and protoss have melee units, so no such luck with them.

Line 71 ⟶ 72:
* [[Rooting for the Empire]]: The United Earth Directorate overthrew Mengsk and temporarily dissolved the Dominion, enslaved the Zerg and took control of them, and used their power afterwards to try and take down Kerrigan's Brood...why was everyone so opposed to these guys again? Okay, granted they come on behalf of the same government that exiled your ancestors to this sector of space, but still, they took out two of the major evil powers in the sector and probably would have taken out Kerrigan too if Raynor and Fenix hadn't helped her. If they had stopped to consider negotiating a deal with the UED, which the UED would have at least considered since DuGalle and Stukov are [[Reasonable Authority Figure|Reasonable Authority Figures]], Raynor and Protoss should have been helping them!
** Until you see their bases in one of the Zerg campaign missions and realize that they are infesting their own men.
*** It kind of makes sense since they are
* [[So Cool Its Awesome]]: The original game is frequently called one of, if not ''the'' best RTS ever. [[Hype Backlash]] and [[Seinfeld Is Unfunny]] has come into play over the years, but the game still holds up well up unto the release of the sequel, and probably will continue to do so for some time.
