==Falseflagging==
'''Falseflagging''' refers to the act of posing as a supporter of a contestant while creating posts that paint said character and/or its actual supporters in a negative light, either in an attempt to get the character to lose or simply for the sake of trolling. Usually most falseflagging attempts are extremely obvious, but more insidious falseflags have been attempted where there is a genuine intent at ruining the reputation of a character. Examples of common tactics used by falseflaggers include spamming fat fetish or otherwise unpleasant art, "campaigning" with AI generated images, attempting to frame the character as being trans, and generally being a nuisance in the threads in the name of their target. It can be synonymous with the common phrase '''psyops''' (psychological operations).
==Jobber==
A term originating from the professional wrestling scene, a '''jobber''' in a popularity tournament context is a character who typically loses in the first round. Most jobbers lose simply because they're not popular or recognizable enough. However, several characters have gained reputations for frequently suffering early losses ''in spite'' of high seeds and/or strong thread presence, which is often due to the polarizing reception of the character, their series, or other circumstances. One of the most famous jobbers in 4chan tournaments is [[Battler Ushiromiya]] from ''Umineko''.
