They are as dumb as the people they try to appeal

Because they represent the typical gamer like OP.

I am pretty smart though

Kills a lot of possible settings if your character doesn't do something retarded to put him in the situation

They're meant to be relatable.

They can only be as smart as the people playing them. If they're very smart in canon it's hard to put any obstacles before them.

So you can identify with them better, OP.

a writer can't make a character more intelligent than himself

heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I saw a thread with that OP image die like 2 hours ago

Cause most people are average, and then part dumb and part smart. If we add most people + part of people we do have at least most people.

Next question.

why are you so gay, discord tranny?

People like feeling smart and a smart protag fucks with that. Like in Spiderman when Peter Parker was fixing the gadgets like "hmm if I just override the voltage capacitors..." and meanwhile the player was given shiny rings to play with like they're retarded.

nerdy girls make me go nuclear though

Because you're starting with a false premise, at which you arrived due to your feeble-mindedness.
