Suitressing refers to the practice of oversimplifying a person or thing into a familiar archetype in Christory that they may not entirely fit into based on superficial similarities. When this is done, one may then put more prominence on the similarities over the differences, making them appear near identical.

The practice is named after the Suitress Policy, a policy directed towards Fiona Cooper which has taken cues from the Wallflower Policy. While the policy was in place, Fiona was referred to as "The Suitress".

Examples of Suitressing

• Calling people like the Idea Guys, Jacob Sockness, or Isabella Janke the "replacement Clyde" solely for how they affected Chris, when there's little to no similarity between them and Clyde as individuals.
• Assuming Praetor was a group of Idea Guy-like trolls, like the Watchmen did, simply because they're a group that befriended Chris and did edgy shit.
  • By that same token, assuming every new friend that Chris obtains is secretly some troll or ween.
• Calling Lainchu a "troll persona" on the basis of enabling Chris being involved, despite Chris creating the character himself, and asking for the Watchmen to roleplay as the character.
• Comparing the drama surrounding Imposter Lainchu to that of Liquid Chris, like The WCT did, on the basis of it involving an "imposter".
• Assuming that Flutter is a figure similar to either Megan or Snoo herself, despite what little information there is on her, just because she's a gal-pal of Chris.
