I already have a post about how the main characters of Tron are actually unusual, in the world of fictional characters in general, in that they do love themselves and it’s very hard to argue reasonably for the interpretation that they don’t. (Though I do still find myself using such interpretations, sometimes, in my fic, just out of a much-too-ingrained habit that I’m trying to break.)
I’ve also written something similar about expectations of real people in real life. It’s concerning how much the default assumption is that everyone hates themselves, and how hard it is to even get one’s own viewpoint out of that paradigm sometimes.
